It's the last days of WWI. A suspicious German underground base is located far behind enemy lines. A small group of Allied soldiers are sent to investigate. The Germans have sealed it for some unknown reasons. They enter and find something horrific.

The premise has the promise of something creepy. The execution and the limited budget leave it wanting more. The underground tunnels could have been claustrophobic but the filming doesn't project that. It could have been if the ceiling is lowered. In fact, the hallways start looking the same. There is some good gross out stuff but it's murky how the worms survive and get transmitted. Blowing up the complex seems like a bad solution. Wouldn't it just spread the worms around? A flamethrower should be a better solution or some sort of gas. They do end up releasing gas at one point. Overall, the idea is workable but the execution is not there.

The film opens with Berton (Rossif Sutherland) a Canadian tunneler, so we know he is "the final girl." In 1918 as the Germans retreated, they left behind a vast underground Wotan Compound. Berton, who likes his drink too much, joins a group of Allies to "observe and report" what is down there. The Germans decide they need to shore things up and come back.

We all expected zombies but that is not exactly what we get. The film had its moments. Personally, if I was sent back to blow up the entrances, I would have done so from the surface.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

Trench 11 borrows from films like The Bunker and mixes in elements of the TV series The Strain, in a WWI setting.

The best thing you can say about this upper end of the budgetary spectrum B grade film its is competently done. The sets are good, the special effects good and the acting is, well, good.

Sadly there is nothing that makes this film "great" or even a little special. Don't be surprised therefore, if a month or so from now you can't remember the title or much more than the general outline of the story. A watchable but forgettable rating of 6/10 from me.
