Okay... I am not a movie snob - I can suspend my expectations and just enjoy some mindless entertainment. I think Chris Farley is hilarious. I stand up and cheer during Starship Troopers.

But there is NO redeeming quality to Subterano. I am completely shocked that some other reviewers gave this movie anything more than the lowest rating.

On paper the plot /could/ be interesting - hey, video game turned real, sounds good right? Wrong. The execution is awful, the "effects" are 70's quality, I want to kill every one of the characters (especially the whiney one who knows the videogame), every action scene is the same (avoid the bad guy to get to the next parking level), and the bad guy is some not-scary radio controlled car.

It is the WORST movie I've ever tried to watch. And not worst like comically bad, or so bad it's good, but simply not-laughing, dead-serious, "why the heck am I watching this?" bad.

Really. There is no point in watching this movie. It is awful.

I SEEN FAR WORSE MOVIES THAN THIS. I LIKED IT! I THOUGHT IT WAS ENTERTAINING. BETTER THAN A LOT OF THIS GARBAGE THERE MAKING NOW! HELLO!!!! I HOPE THEY DON'T MAKE A REMAKE OF THIS ONE. OMG... I THOUGHT I SEEN A PIC OR A POSTER SOMEWHERE WHERE THERE "REMAKING" THE MOVIE "THE THING", AGAIN. THIS WILL BE THE 3RD TIME. I HOPE IM WRONG.

I enjoyed this movie.. But before I ordered it, I checked this movie have subtitle in english or closed caption.. Because I am deaf myself and require closed caption.. It said have both subtitle and closed caption.. I was excite and bought it. But I am so disappoint and this movie not have subtitle and closed caption at all. That's BS!

Message for deaf people: Don't order this movie!

Subterano is an Australian sci fi movie that is based on an actual video game. Conrad, a convicted murderer, escapes execution and finds himself trapped in a parking garage along with eight other people. They maneuver through each level of the game trying to stay alive.

The game is very interesting and has lots of action.

I enjoyed this movie so much that I looked at it again as soon as it went off.

In my opinion, this is a must see movie.

I was wrong to think that this movie was garbage.

austrailian movie based on a virtual reality video game gone bad.
very cool characters and FX make for a really fun movie.
movie is set in a parking garage, each level of the parking garage representing each level of the game. must see movie in my opinion. very cool sci-fi flick, check it out.

This film really is a must see, if only because it is so darn bad. It is easily a hot contender for the worst film of all time. A single star would be far too generous. Now, to be fair this might be considered a sort of OK childrens' film - if general ineptitude is a qualifying characteristic of many in that category (except for all the good ones of course) - but even then its R rating clearly puts it beyond the gaze of any would be toddler film buffs. The R rating was a genuine surprise. In Australia it was screened as a 'world premier' last new years eve. It was late (but not late enough), and after the only profanity uttered, the character actually apologized for swearing! Really this film is a future cult classic and should be seen either directly before or after Return of the Ring, for the sake of contrast.

Subterano from teh way teh cover box is designed looks like a cheesy horror film. However once one pops in the DVD they soon realize that they are instead watching an action sci-fi thriller.

Subterano is an Australian made sci fi movie. The plot revolves around a group of people thrust into a situation they can't control when they are trapped inside a car park at the main HQ of this toy corporation. These people consist of four kids, an old man, a security guard, and two ex-lovers/revolutionaries. What happens inside the building is some psycho who created this program to imitate the game Subterano, a game notoriouse for never been beaten. THe characters must travel through seven levels and survive the traps set all in an attempte to escape. One bye one the cahracters get picked off as egos collide, paranoia kicks in, and hatred grows deeper.

Overall this is one of those direct to video titles most will pass up as garbage. However in it's degense it does have it's share of wit and thrills and for the most part I would probably rent again (or maybe buy someday). Subterano is a good mid afternoon thrill ride for a rainy day or a sleepover. Just remember that you may have some trouble finding this title.

The movie showed up in a nice time frame and in great shape. Thanks for a product that is in the shape you say it is.
