'Deep Blue Sea' Moments: Subterano

This one has been a long time coming, so let's not waste any time shall we? Today's subject comes from a crappy little film called Subterano. It comes to us via Australia, but not that good part that makes interesting movies with Peter Weller. This is the part of Australia that brings us the weird movies like Tank Girl, which are not always good.

Basically, a bunch of people get trapped in a parking garage that is full of trap and remote-control evil. They are told that the whole thing is a game and they must try to survive. I know what you are thinking and 'yes, this does pre-date Saw.' We get a range of cliched characters, including the tough guy and the 'know-it-all.' The latter is the key one to this film's induction.
*
After surviving two levels (read: the same one, only lit differently), they come across a 'Save Point.' This is basically a big, glowing orb that you access by sticking your head into it. Yeah, that seems safe. Despite everyone's objections, he sticks his head in, claiming that everything will be safe.
*
Yeah, he gets decapitated. I think you all knew that I was going to say that.

More films are coming. Which ones? I can't say. No, really- I can't. Stay tuned...

  2. Yeah, it's not the kind of thing you really 'announce.'

    Mind you, after watching Hobgoblins 2, it is clear that I have no shame.
