"Rammbock" is a German apocalypse movie from 5 years ago written and directed by Marvin Kren. Kren is considered one of the rising filmmakers here, but I have seen 3 of his films now and I found them all underwhelming. This includes "Blutgletscher", "Berlin Eins", his new hyped crime film and finally this one here. We basically follow a guy who comes to Berlin to visit his ex-girlfriend, but runs into a zombie apocalypse (and a new friend) until he finally finds her. This film only runs for slightly over an hour and this already includes 5 minutes of credits. The two lead actors are known even only to the biggest fans of German cinema from "Das weiße Band" and the previously mentioned "Blutgletscher" or "Michael". And, of course, Kren's mother is on board again as well. No idea why she gets cast all the time in his films, even for some of the biggest characters of the movie, as she is certainly not a great actress.
This little film here is not only about supernatural events, but also has some family drama moments with the background of the reason why the main character comes to Berlin in the first place. It is a bit about love, about friendship, but none of the areas has been displayed and elaborated on convincingly in my opinion. This is why I thought it was a disappointing watch for the most part. Not recommended and the only really good thing about the film is that it is over pretty quickly. Thumbs down.
