Undergods – a haunting premonition of a broken world

☆☆☆☆ This is a gloriously odd film, and has a really unabashed feel about it – which makes it inadvertently feel real and true, and even more haunting. The landscape is laid out from the start, as we meet two scrappily dressed men in frozen conditions, who are throwing a dead body, found rotting on a wintry pavement, into the back of an already-full van. Set in a near future, in an Europe that is a pale imitation of its past, this is a scary-looking premonition of a broken world. We then are launched into the dreamlike and surreal atmosphere that pervades throughout. Body collector K (Johann Myers) tells his colleague Z (Geza Rohrig) about a strange dream haunting him.

Undergods review – a visionary dystopian anthology

Undergods begins with a prologue set in a filthy, post-apocalyptic landscape of Soviet-style tower blocks, being scavenged by Z (Géza Röhrig) and K (Johann Myers). After dumping another corpse in the back of their truck, K confesses to a recurring dream about a pale-faced man – a “ghost” – haunting an empty apartment, “somewhere far, far away from this dump”. This is Ron (Michael Gould), protagonist of the next story, and apparently the only tenant in a high-spec development in the last stages of completion – could it be one of the post-apocalyptic blocks in better days? He and his wife Ruth (Hayley Carmichael) are surprised when a shifty stranger (Ned Dennehy) turns up at their door claiming to have locked himself out of the 11th floor. Ill-advisedly, they make him up a bed.
