The Bunker (2015)
7/10
To anybody that says this movie is a Comedy, that's complete lie, this is a psychological piece.

I had no idea what i was getting into when i watched The Bunker, but it all makes sense in the end. It's a very weird movie, and abstract. However one question about this movie is still unanswered: What was that thing on the mother's leg, the wound speaking demon?? What was that thing? Everything else works.

We got a story that is kinda slow, but it all makes sense as you go further. I enjoyed it. I saw people compare this to Dogtooth. Dogtooth had no reason to exist, this movie has a point.

SPOILER ALERT

This whole movie is a metaphor of two things. One, the parents separating from their children, the grief of that aspect, and two, that the two can change their positions. The most genius person can turn into not the most bright, and the not the most bright, can turn into someone. There's also a third metaphor and that's friendship. How the most intelligent character loves the most mentally unwell character, and wise-versa.

I have no clue where the comedy comes from this movie. Nothing here was funny. I do not think this movie was meant to be a comedy at all. Instead it's a psychological piece that pokes holes at multiple society aspects.

If you liked The One Flew Over The Cucco's Nest, and Lunacy, you might enjoy this. Frankly the two movies i just mentioned i totally love, so you might get to enjoy this as well.

Also, please do not insult this movie by comparing it to Dogtooth. Thanks.
