Factual errors: Approximately 71 minutes into the movie, when Heir Bruckner (Warren Clarke) is driving his daughter, Christa (Amanda Pays), home after picking her up from Nazi Headquarters, they are obviously in a British car. Heir Bruckner is driving from the right-hand side of the car, not the left-hand side as it would be in Germany. more

A young, bitchy schoolgirl goes with her dad to East Berlin on holiday (or something) to be with him while he does some research. Dad has a new girlfriend in East Berlin, and he and daughter check into dreary hotel, where girl is bored bored bored, and she eventually investigates noises she's been hearing in her room & finds that there's someone hiding in the walls, a "cold room" that was used for kosher meats that fell into disuse when Jews got sent to concentration camps, or something equally as uplifting. But is that someone from THIS time, or from an earlier time? And is the daughter sliding back and forth between eras, or has she just gone off her rocker? Surprisingly, you won't care much either way once you've gotten into this, that is, if you haven't turned it off yet. I was interested in seeing how it ended so I stuck around and while overall, there's the bones of a good story here, it's not fleshed out and crumbles. I guess the dreariness goes well with the former East Berlin, before the wall came down and all that, but as for Sunday afternoon viewing, I say....nah. 4 out of 10.
