When lovelorn Michael arrives in Berlin to return a set of keys to his ex-girlfriend, Gabi, as an excuse to see her again, he finds her apartment empty save for a couple of plumbers making repairs to the central heating. Just as Michael learns from the plumber’s apprentice, Harper, that Gabi has popped out for a while but will return soon, the apprentice is attacked by his boss who has unexpectedly and inexplicably transformed into a raging madman. Together, Michael and Harper manage to bundle the crazed plumber out of the apartment and barricade themselves safely inside. Within minutes, they find themselves trapped in apartment block under siege from a horde of similarly insane people, apparently hungry for human flesh.

Why it matters

A lean, claustrophobic zombie thriller that channels the raw urgency of early 2000s European horror with a distinctly Berlin edge.

  • Compact runtime and tight setting amplify the tension—no sprawling apocalypse, just immediate survival.
  • Practical gore effects ground the undead menace in tactile, gruesome reality.
  • A study in isolation and urban decay, capturing Berlin's post-reunification grit as more than just backdrop.
  • Perfect for fans of minimalist zombie fare like [REC] or [28 Days Later] craving something with a sharper, localized flavor.
