Australia • 2017 • 90m •

• Directed by: Stuart Rowsell. • Starring: Morte, Jay Katz, Chris Sadrinna, John Boxer, Herbert Peppard..

After the end of WWII, Hitler escaped to a secured bunker in Adelaide. Dr Mengele has procured a drug of Alien based immortality that will see to the rise of a New World Order. Over time Hitler is forgotten however and left to rot in the bunker as world politic expands into the 'global government' and the thousand year reich plan to design the superman and send him to the stars, is replaced with free trade agreements... Left to misery and despair Hitler reads about the world outside from enclosed walls and walks the bunker corridors - waiting for a chance to escape again and renew his quest for the reich - Dr Mengele, from his laboratory in Argentina, has other plans for their longevity and with an ever increasing mental collapse the two must fight it out for intellectual domination .

Review:

I could praise this film for days! Surreal!!! Captivating!!! Disturbing!!! Morte is perfect in the role of the tortured zombie Hitler, and one cannot help but feel a sense of pity for him, trapped and largely forgotten as he is, in a bleak and lonely bunker. Daily he struggles to reason via a strange communication device, with the utterly insane Mengler, and he has nothing but old newspapers, a broken radio, and faded, haunted dreams of grandeur, to further fuel his decent into madness and despair. Surreal, beautifully shot and edited, interjected with vintage Nazi Reich era footage -the sets, campy prosthetics and special effects as well as a full cast of masterful puppets of generals and world leaders, were beyond expectation. Loved the final plot twist and end scene, which I shall not reveal!
