Info

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.

Rammbock: Berlin Undead Audience Reviews

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
meddlecore In a sort of 28 Days Later meets Rabid fashion, Rammbock is a film about a zombie outbreak that randomly occurs in Berlin. Just as a man named Michael has returned to give a set of keys back to his old girlfriend.Now, he is holed up in her apartment, with another young man named Harper.There are a few other people in the complex as well, and they can speak to one another from their balconies.Turns out, that if you are bitten, you can ward off the illness, if you can refrain from getting an adrenaline rush. Though, that might be easier said than done under the circumstances.Either way, the two men must hatch a plan to escape the room they are trapped in- because they have no food to eat.So they fashion together a makeshift battering ram, and go right through one of the walls.During this ordeal, they get separated- with one ending up on the roof, and the other stuck in the neighbour's kitchen.Though, this does allow Harper to discover that a flash of bright light (like from a camera flash) temporarily blinds the zombies.Thus, they hatch a plan to escape once and for all...but...will all of them be able to make it? The ending is clearly inspired by Cronenberg's Rabid- though, in a slightly different way. This isn't a bad little zombie flick. It's relatively short at approximately an hour. And it did, seemingly, go on to inspire a spin off television series. So, there's that. But it was still pretty simple overall...and left me a bit unfulfilled.Nice effort though. 4.5 out of 10.
the_teapot What I always appreciate in any film, but especially one in the zombie genre (because it is so rare), are believable characters. Characters whose actions are logical, even in bizarre situations. And I always appreciate a writer's ability to develop a dramatic plot without relying on characters' moronic decisions to stir trouble. This is seen too rarely in this genre.For anyone wondering whether this is their kind of zombie film, I'll try to knock up a short summary with no spoilers. :) The plot of Rammbock takes you to the very start of the zombie virus outbreak, it begins while the world is still "normal". When it happens, it happens very suddenly. What follows is of course shock and confusion and the horror of not knowing what is going on, then the subsequent eeriness of witnessing the society dissipate through loss of public communication channels, following which the characters must come to terms with the weight of the situation, and shift their usual priorities and inhibitions to bare survival.You are taken through this process with the protagonists, witnessing the first few days of the outbreak and the fragile survival of people trapped in a residential building in the middle of Berlin, surrounded by hordes of the violent infected. Although the director decided not to reveal much about anyone's background and past, this doesn't stop you from empathising and gradually growing fond of them. At no point are any (uninfected) characters polarised or dehumanised, even the nameless ones.This is the type of zombie film with no over-the-top violence and very little gore, the accent is on eeriness and tension, rather than action and special effects.I would say that as far as the zombie apocalypse topic goes, this is one of the more realistic portrayals of how it would look for someone in Europe.If you liked 28 Days Later or Rec, you will almost certainly like this one. If you're more of a Resident Evil type of person, maybe skip it.
atinder This is so know as Siege Of The Dead (2010) is a low budget infected movie from Germany.I did not expect much from this at all but turn out to be surprising good. Michael as come to see his girlfriend in Berlin but then he finds out that people have been infected by this unknown virus. This is only 59 minutes long, just under an hour, this movie was really fast paced and some really good decent tense moment as well.The infected were really welled acted and liked the whole foaming thing from there mouth.This movie wasn't really thag gory at all, the bite moment that looked nasty but nothing other zombies/infected movies. I really liked the idea of flashes from the camera, that was nice turn for the infected, Which had fresh feel to these kinda of movies.There was a few surprising moments, that I didn't see coming at all,I really liked that scene. Great acting from the whole but I not sure what to make of the infected hugging Scenes, I am giving this movie 8 out of 10
BA_Harrison In recent years the zombie genre has become as bloated as a week-old corpse in water, with even the most craptastic of low-budget, shot-on-video efforts somehow shambling their way onto DVD. Stripper zombies, zombie vampires, sexy zombies, Nazi zombies, ninja zombies, domesticated zombies, and zombies vs _______ (fill in the blank with whatever you like; if it hasn't already been done, it probably will be soon): the list of gimmicks used by film-makers to try and distinguish their undead film from the next one in the horde is endless.Rammbock, however, proves that you don't need a gimmick to make a memorable and effective zombie movie: it's a character driven tale pared back to the absolute basics, using the the classic ingredients of a single location with a few people trapped within, and a couple of dozen frothy mouthed ghouls hungry for human blood waiting eagerly outside. The script isn't particularly innovative, offering very little that hasn't been seen before in umpteen similar films, but the whole thing is done so well that this matters not a jot.Director Marvin Kren's focus is on the tension created by the outbreak, his survivors struggling to come to terms with their unexpected situation and the loss of loved ones. There's very little in the way of graphic gore on display, but the horror is still very real, thanks to the excellent performances, the convincing dialogue and Kren's admirable direction. At just under an hour, this film gets straight down to business and provides solid zombie entertainment right down to the last moment—with not a ninja, Nazi or stripper in sight.7.5 out of 10, rounded up to 8 for IMDb.
