The film blends zombie survival horror with military action, underground exploration and bizarre science-fiction elements, creating an intentionally unconventional combination of genres. Its visual approach was also connected to 3D filmmaking, with the production using a specially developed GoPro-based 3D camera system.</p><p>As Markus gets closer to the secrets buried beneath the bunker, the expedition transforms into a desperate fight for survival.
