Charlie Shakespeare, un joven soldado que se encuentra luchando contra los alemanes en 1917. Durante el caos y la confusión de la batalla, un pequeño grupo de hombres se pierde, rodeados por una espesa y misteriosa niebla. En cuanto logran salir de ella, descubren que se encuentran en una trinchera alemana abandonada. Convencidos de que han logrado abrir una brecha en las lineas enemigas, deciden asegurar un perímetro alrededor de lugar antes de explorarlo. (Manga Films S.L.)

Basset is not utterly incompetent (his later horror film Wilderness is pretty decent), but his début was worse than it could and should have been. I really liked the depressive atmosphere and the feeling of a mysterious evil at the beginning, but after some time it was overcome by boredom, I completely lost interest in the characters and the pleasant feeling was suddenly gone.

The first half hour gets 4 stars, "first contact" gets 5, the rest 2, and the ending is just terrible. The characters it was supposed to be based on cease to be interesting the moment Bassett trades in the perceived evil for cheap psychosis, the first "friendly fire," and tops it all off with a heavyweight barbed wire bondage fetish. That’s quite unfortunate considering the actors involved. One would expect more from a European horror film.
