Too many goddamn cliches

As with the subject line. This film really was just another version of the boring "bunch of people together killed one-by-one by supernatural horror" film, with Jamie Bell as the final girl. There really wasn't anything interesting in the "plot" or "characterisation" or even the film's setting. Besides, for a film about the First World War, it didn't seem to recognise there was much mileage in the war itself; "The Trench" was a far more tense film and it didn't have any supernatural elements.
At least "The Bunker" had a character redemption and a surprise survivor.
P.S. Quinn's furs are actually a goat-skin jerkin, standard issue to the British army in winter, when greatcoats were in short supply. You would get heat-stroke trying to do strenuous exercise in one of them in anything but the coldest weather.
