Plot summary

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.

Enjoyed this one a lot. If you've seen "The Night Eats The World" this will seem immediately familiar, as it's obvious this film was the main inspiration. The characters breaking through a wall to get to another apartment, the main protagonist originally coming to visit his ex girlfriend, the setting taking place in a crowded apartment building... all of these things "The Night Eats The World" replicated in its own original way. I'm guessing Rammbock was inspired itself by the Spanish film "REC", as the (once again) crowded apartment setting and the rabies-like virus definitely gives me some deja-vu. But enough about other films, how was this one? Siege of the Dead, also and more commonly known as "Rammbock: Berlin Undead" (which is strange because the zombies are not undead but rather infected LIVING people), is a tightly knit but intense zombie film that leaves just as soon as it arrives. Leave it to the Germans to efficiently pack an entire movie into only ONE HOUR! But still leave a lasting impression. The movie kicks off almost as soon as it starts, with the two main protagonists being barricaded in an apartment complex with a horde of zombies just on the other side of the door. The film adds a unique twist to the virus, that being if you're bitten but remain calm long enough for your body's immune system to fight off the infection, you will not turn into a zombie. It's explained by the government on a radio broadcast that this is because your brain releasing adrenaline is what activates the virus... so I guess anyone with severe anxiety like myself would perish within minutes of this pandemic. The infected are fittingly intimidating and you end up feeling quite attached to the heroes of this film despite it's short running time... makes you wonder how "filmmakers" these days screw that up so bad with double to even triple the runtime at their disposal. Not much else can be said without spoiling the plot so I'll end this review by saying if you're a fan of the 28 Days Later series, The Night Eats The World, the Spanish "REC" series OR the American remake "Quarantine", you'll definitely enjoy this.

Claustrophobic, inventive, unpredictable. One of the very best low-budget zombie films. Extremely recommended.

Looking like a Class-B movie, it shows a short and excellent story about the classic terror subgenre of zombies, adding some little original elements. A must see for zombie lovers.
