9:59 - 11:23 (PROJEKT ANGST)
Shortly before graduating, six drama students set off into the Swiss Alps. The aim of their excursion is to test the extent of and overcome their fears using a series of dares. They plan to stay overnight in an underground alpine bunker. As the group initially jokes about the similarity of their situation with THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, the game soon turns into an unpredictable trial of courage for them all. This no-budget-horror-experiment from director Stefan Jäger takes us into the uncomfortable underworld of the Swiss réduit, a huge defence complex, the construction of which began before the First World War.
An unsettling descent into fear and isolation set within the claustrophobic confines of a forgotten Swiss military bunker.
- No-budget ingenuity turns a real historical fortress into a character itself—raw, oppressive, and authentically eerie.
- Drama students’ dares spiral from bravado to genuine terror, exposing how fragile courage can be under pressure.
- Fans of minimalist, psychological horror with a documentary-style vibe will appreciate the creeping dread and slow burn.
- Not polished, but its rough edges amplify the unsettling atmosphere and underscore the unpredictability of fear itself.
