This is the ninth film in the Stuttgart White Nights Festival.
The film begins in 1955. A reporter is shown that all the bodies from a
cemetery have been dug up and moved into a nearby building. They've been set up
neatly in lines and rows. What's disturbing is that there are muddy
footprints, as if the corpses have walked into the building.
Then the story continues in 1984. A high rise building has been built on the
site of the cemetery. That would never happen in England or other civilised
countries. The residents of the building don't know about the cemetery, and
they definitely don't know about the moving corpses.
What follows is a confusing story of deaths in torrential floods and an
elevator accident in the building. A mystery is unravelled of a cult that used
to worship on the site, before the cemetery was built. There are ghosts and
other apparitions in the building, and.....
Stop!
This film is awful. The story goes nowhere, despite hurried explanations in
the final scenes. There are repeated jump scares, but they're the result of
random unrelated occurrences. I have nothing against jump scares, but they shouldn't
be used as a substitute for a well written story.
