A group of elite soldiers sent to infiltrate and extract the lead science team from Pine Gap, Australia's top secret underground military compound, after it comes under attack from unknown forces. The mission is compromised when they encounter a young woman with no memory of who she is or how she came to be there. As they try to escape, the group quickly discovers all is not as it seems and the facility has become a testing ground for something far more sinister.

Why it matters

A claustrophobic sci-fi horror that traps soldiers and secrets deep beneath a secretive Australian military base.

  • Practical effects and tight underground sets evoke a tangible dread reminiscent of 90s bunker horrors.
  • Fans of containment thrillers and military sci-fi will appreciate the tense infiltration premise.
  • The film struggles to find a unique voice, borrowing heavily from genre staples like *Resident Evil* and *Aliens*.
  • Despite uneven pacing and derivative elements, the mysterious amnesiac subplot adds a layer of intrigue for viewers craving science-fiction paranoia.
