Details

Germany, right after the re-unification. The people are out of control, blind hatred towards immigrants is common sense. In this time, a social-worker, with the mission to bring a Polish family to their destination (an immigration camp in a little provincial town called Rassau), gets kidnapped just as the family. Chief inspector Koern and his girl-friend start to investigate in this matter in Rassau, exploring a world of obsessive sex, mislead lust and an over-whelming irrational love to the German nation, infiltrating anyone's mind. Rascism doesn't start with shaved hair and boots but rather in the middle of society itself...

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "Terror 2000 - Intensivstation Deutschland" is a German movie from 1994, so this one is already over 20 years old. The director is the late filmmaking infant terrible Christoph Schlingensief and he is also one of the three writers who worked on this one. The other two, Roehler and Hanisch, also managed really successful career in their own right in different areas closely related to movies. But lets take a look at this one. The cast is a mix of completely unknown non-professional actors and very successful actors with long careers and Schlingensief worked with many of them on other projects as well. None of the characters become memorable whatsoever though. This is the director's take on the reunited Germany and I am a bit shocked it took him almost five years until he released it. And looking at the quality of the film overall, I am almost a bit sad he released it. yes it has the indie/underground approach that Schlingensief's works always have, but the approach from him that makes me kinda like him and respect him is almost entirely missing in here and with this I am referring to a creative impact I did not manage to see in this film. The acting is so-so, but everything else is pretty absurd and not really in a good way. Disappointing. This has to be one of my least favorite Schlingensieg works, maybe even my number 1 least favorite from him. Eventually I was glad the film runs only for 75 minutes and that it was over so quickly, even if it felt a lot longer. Major thumbs-down from me. Don't watch.
ratzefatzeman Schlingensief, love him or hate him. I love him. He's something like the skin cancer on a body named society. So are his films. Terror 2000 is this kind of film where you haven't the chance to relax, because you are confronted the whole time with loudness, chaos, violence, sex, dirty language and Nazis! But in such a grotesque, humoristic way that you can't do something other than look and laugh! See Udo Kier as maniac preacher, see Schlingensief himself as a gay Nazi, see all the other strange characters and be inspired! Schlingensiefs real intentions what he wants to tell us by this film I can't interpretate, because it's always difficult to understand him. I think like in most cases of his work it's only a story about the weirdness of our society. That's it.(Christoph, if you read this, please take me for your next film project, I would be for example a fantastic Hitler parody!)It's clearly 9 points, because this film is highly entertaining, and that's what a film has to do in my opinion!
milchhund This film has to be above and beyond the most pathetic deutsche film ever produced. With Deutschland not exactly being known for it's great films, this piece of garbage goes to further enforce the stereotype and stigma that has surrounded German films for years, that being they are just pure garbage. So take it from milchhund this movie is good for a laugh (exactly one laugh) and nothing more except a headache, and the need to smoke a lot (even if your a non smoker) as well as the need to drink your self stupid. Even Doom Generation was better then this crap. Technical crap, sound was horrible, camera work was infantile, the acting fully unbelievable and dry even though it's supposed to be bad, it's bad! The story was very weak. The only saving graces were the look at Germany after reunification in the east, while the west looked down on the new lowest class of Germans the east tried to adapt to their new found freedoms while still stuck even deeper in poverty. That's about all the film was able to produce for me though.The pain The pain.
mark czuba This politically-incorrect saga meshes sex, violence and humor in its tale of a husband-and-wife detective team sent to a German refugee camp to find a Polish family and a social worker. During the search, the sleuths are kidnapped by neo-Nazis, and it's soon learned that their interests are as strange as the people around them. Udo Kier never been better playing a gun toting Priest, who loves putting his gun in his mouth and others. Gore and violence are just over the top in this German cult classic.
