Captain Cooper carries a Model 17 Trench Gun, a pump-action shotgun. These weapons were despised and feared by the Germans, who labeled them "inhumane". Cooper is the only soldier with one, adequately showing his brutal disposition.

User Reviews

Enjoyable WWI horror movie

Solid, low-budget Canadian movie set in the closing days of WWI. The Germans have a mysterious, abandoned tunnel complex in the Ardennes forest. British military intelligence wants to know what's in it. But the Americans control the Ardennes and the British lack an experienced 'tunneler.'

Ah, but a Canadian tunneler from Winnipeg is available nearby in France! So, backed by four US infantry, the two British MI officers and the tunneler head off for what will surely will be an easy, carefree mission! Well, no.

The writing is solid throughout, and the direction manages some nice, tense moments of claustrophobic horror. Rossif Sutherland has a nice, offbeat charm as our heroic tunneler. It's a Canadian movie, so don't be surprised if the tunneler comes across better than his British and American counterparts!

The movie is as much or more about the horrors human beings are capable of, so be aware that this isn't THE THING IN A TRENCH. There are non-natural horror elements and scenes of graphic violence, but they work within a broader view of the horrors of humanity and its wars.
