Holy Shit!

Ach du Scheiße!

2022 ·1h 30m · ★ 5.8 (47)

An architect regains consciousness in a locked portaloo – known in German vernacular by the ‘Dixi’ brand name – on a building site where a detonation is being prepared. As he desperately tries to find ways of escaping this ‘prison’ before potentially being blown to smithereens, he realizes who has put him into this predicament. Now he has to do everything in his power to get out alive…

Why it matters

A claustrophobic nightmare that squeezes every ounce of tension from a single confined space, turning a locked portaloo into a hellish trap.

  • Minimalist horror that channels the spirit of single-location thrillers like *Buried* and *Phone Booth*, with a uniquely grimy, blue-collar edge.
  • Practical set design and sound work amplify the dread, making the claustrophobia viscerally tangible without relying on cheap jump scares.
  • Perfect for fans of survival horror who appreciate character-driven desperation over gore or supernatural frights.
  • Its urban construction site setting grounds the terror in everyday labor environments, a fresh playground for horror’s cultural anxieties about control and entrapment.
