A group of young women are abducted by sadistic cannibals living under the subway tunnels of Munich. This is a well-made [albeit, grisly explicit] reworking of 1972's RAW MEAT (DEATH LINE, British Title), the story of cannibals living in the depths of the subway system. For this film, a group of young people drive to the industrial outskirts of Munich to go partying at a 'warehouse rave.' But the festivities become intertwined with jealousies and bad blood, resulting in a pissed-off boyfriend angerly abandoning his female companions and leaving them to find their own way home. The three girls decide the subway is the best choice ["Do we want to spend $150 on a taxi or $10 on a train?"]. But a subway station at 3 AM turns out to be the wrong decision.

Here is the first film by Michael Effenberger, accompanied by the talents of the more prolific Xtreme director Marcel Walz [best known for his torture-porn epics LA PETITE MORT and LA PETITE MORE 2: NASTY TAPES]. Mr Walz has since moved to Hollywood where he continues to re-envision the horror genre with projects like That's A Wrap and a remake of Herschell Gordon Lewis' Blood Feast. Also, a quick note: kudos to the three actresses playing the victims here. Their performances are pitch-perfect, believable and sympathetic. But obviously, the motion picture is recommended for acquired tastes only.

A German film with optional English subtitles, fully uncut 77 min, fullscreen,
encoded for ALL REGION, playable on any American DVD machine.
