> Where did you hear about these movies?

I regularly visit www.creature-corner.com to keep up on upcoming horror
movies / tv shows /etc. You can also look them up on IMDB.

    Oh, and while I was digging up these links, I came across two more:

The Keep
Romania, 1942, a detachment of the German Army is sent to gaurd a mysterious
Romanian citadel located on a strategic mountain pass. When soldiers begin
to be mysteriously murdered, the SS arrives to deal with what is thought to
be partisan activity. What the SS finds, however, is an evil force trapped
within the Keep and a force which will do anything in order to escape.

The Bunker
"In 1944, the Allies are bombing the front lines and are winning. A ragtag
troop of German soldiers flee the forest and locate shelter in seemingly
impenetrable concrete bunker as American soldiers approach. Finding a few
survivors of a previous troop inside, the psychically scarred and injured
men plot an escape strategy that won't compromise an already low supply of
ammo. The only possible course of action: flee out of the forest through the
subterranean tunnels, which were built by workers enslaved by the Nazis.
Against the warnings of a superstitious elder (isn't there always one?), the
soldiers flee into the labyrinth when the Americans arrive, each man's fears
and wounds are compounded by an unseen evil force that uses his own
conscious and subconscious fears to attack him."

    Sounds like The Keep is one to stay away from, though the book gets rave
reviews. Also of note, both Dog Soldiers and The Bunker are british films,
so who knows if you'll be able to find them in the 'States.
