“Urban Explorers are extreme sports’ answer to computer hackers...” Sure. Whatever. A trio of “extreme sports computer hackers” sneak into underground Moscow to find and document Stalin’s secret “Metro 2” and Ivan the Terrible’s torture chamber. Things go to shit at a rapid pace and they’re soon dodging armed and gas-masked soldiers looking to contain some kind of plagueish outbreak. There also may be a supernatural element in full swing as the guilt ridden Nate begins to see some strange shit. Frantic to the max, the film utilizes a mixture of schizophrenic camera work, intense sound design and strobing lights. It has aspects of the found footage genre but does not completely rely on it. The ending may be predictable but it is completely justified by the experience.
