(Short, Spoiler-Free Summary; tag-line or elevator pitch.)<br />

<br />
"Violence is contagious." In the final days of WWI, an allied army unit led by a shell-shocked soldier is sent to investigate a mysterious abandoned German facility located deep underground. What they find is fate worse than death. <br />

==Details==<br />
[[File:Trench11 2017film.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Promotional image for ''Trench 11 (2017 film)''...]]<br />
<!--<br />
This list of details is partly intended for those films produced by<br />
film-makers, performers, producers/studios, etc. that tend to make<br />
"Lovecraftian" films, for ease of finding related or similar films.<br />
This list is also partly intended to make it easier to identify a<br />
specific film out of many with the same name, to make them easier to<br />
tell apart - some stories have been adapted numerous times by different<br />
amateur short film makers! Some films have a "TVTropes" page, which<br />
will often detail obscure "Lovecraftian" elements of a film that this<br />
wiki misses, and, if a TVTropes page exists, it can be a useful<br />
resource. Feel free to remove any sections that are irrelevant, <br />
unknown, or unnecessary.<br />

==Ratings==<br />
===[http://www.mpaa.org/film-ratings/ MPAA Ratings]===<br />
<!--<br />
I've been including this information for those of us who like to watch<br />
Lovecraft movies with family, including younger children, and want to<br />
avoid any awkwardness.<br />
E.G., "Rated: R (Violence, Nudity, Language....)" <br />
--><br />
* Rated: not rated (probably equivalent to PG-13 or R for Violence, Profanity, Adult Content, etc.)<br />
<br />
I've not seen this movie, but Violence, body horror, gore, and Profanity are par for the course in this subgenre in this era (2000s-2010s).<br />
<br />
===Tentacle Ratings===<br />
<!--<br />
(Use one of the following lines, and edit it as appropriate. Follow it with an<br />
explanation/description of how it qualifies as "Lovecraftian", such as any<br />
name-dropping of Lovecraft's creations, whether it's based on a Lovecraft story<br />
and if so which one, whether it's simply "feels" kind of Lovecraftian, etc.)<br />
Some examples: one tentacle only if the mood and atmosphere are right but it's <br />
not based on a Lovecraft story and contains no specific Lovecraftian elements even<br />
in spirit; one tentacle only if it mentions specifically Lovecraftian elements but<br />
isn't based on Lovecraft story and doesn't have the right mood; one tentacle only <br />
if it has some tentacle monsters but the mood isn't very Lovecraftian and specific<br />
Lovecraft creations aren't mentioned by name; if the film is based on a recognizable<br />
Lovecraft story it automatically gets two tentacles, and may get a third or more<br />
depending on if Lovecraftian monsters are present, the mood and atmosphere are<br />
suitably Lovecraftian in tone, and if the work is particularly accurate and true to<br />
the spirit of the original story.<br />
* _____ (Zero Tentacles: Unrated for Lovecraftian Content)<br />
* S____ (One Tentacle: Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)<br />
* SS___ (Two Tentacles: Barely Lovecraftian; vaguely similar in tone, could be a very loose adaptation)<br />
* SSS__ (Three Tentacles: Lovecraftian, was probably written by Lovecraft himself.)<br />
* SSSS_ (Four Tentacles: Unusually Lovecraftian; written by Lovecraft, a remarkably faithful adaptation)<br />
* SSSSS (Five Tentacles: definitively Lovecraftian; everything you'd expect from a Lovecraft adaptation and more)<br />
--><br />
A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:<br />
* S____ (One Tentacle: Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)<br />
<br />
By the description, this sounds like it's probably not especially Lovecraftian, but may fit the "weird world war" settings made for the Call of Cthulhu RPG in spirit and content.<br />
<br />
''Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of <br />
how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.''<br />
<br />

==Synopsis (SPOILERS)==<br />
<!-- <br />
(Should be an objective, unbiased, detailed synopsis of film's plot and themes.<br />
The following optional spoiler code apparently works badly on smart phones.) <br />
--><br />

<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
<br />
===Comments, Trivia, Dedication===<br />
<!-- <br />
(Optional; describe anything known or reported by experts about the <br />
origin of the story or inspiration for elements of it; list dedication, <br />
trivia, images, anything else of note <br />
--><br />
* One of the sergeants carries a Model 17 Trench Gun, a pump-action shotgun, a weapon despised and feared by the Germans, who considered them "inhumane"; this character is the only soldier with one, adequately showing his brutal disposition. <br />
<br />
<br />
===Associated Mythos Elements===<br />
<!--<br />
(A list of notable Lovecraftian creatures, tomes, Great Old Ones, characters, <br />
etc. that appear in the film/show/etc. It helps to specify if it just takes<br />
the form of general "name-dropping" (someone mentions "Yog-Sothoth!", but <br />
Yog-Sothoth doesn't actually appear; a random creepy tome in the background<br />
is labeled ''Necronomicon'' but never actually appears, a character is wearing<br />
a Miskatonic University sweatshirt but the school never makes an appearance...)<br />
Remove any sections that do not apply. Note that some unnamed monsters may be<br />
considered "stand-ins" that are effectively the same as specific Lovecraftian<br />
monsters, though the film never makes that explicitly clear - for example, a<br />
standard-issue Gill-Man from "Creature from the Black Lagoon" might be labeled<br />
a "Deep One" for the purposes of this Wiki, even though any resemblance is<br />
probably unintentional. Vaguely/generically "Lovecraftian" elements might <br />
include [[Human Cultist]]s, [[Tentacle Monster]]s, ''[[Necronomicon Ex-Mortis]]'',<br />
and the mysterious outer/astral dimension we might call the [[Other Side]]....)<br />
--><br />
* race: [[Zombie]]s<br />
* race: parasitic mind-control worms<br />
<br />
<br />
===Keeper Notes===<br />
<!-- <br />
(Optional. Notes to Keepers on using this for film for scenario ideas. <br />
Heresies and Controversies: this is also a good place to include non-canon <br />
and controversial aspects of the film's mythos. Suggested Alternative Theories <br />
include: Derleth's elemental scheme; pseudo-science interpretation; "fanon" <br />
interpretations; unofficial humorous or eccentric versions; identification with <br />
"Real Life" mythological, religious, folklore, natural, and historical phenomena; <br />
rumor and speculation contribute some flexibility and ambiguity to the mythos. <br />
* Alternative_theory. ([[source]]) <br />
This section is more commonly used on YSDC Wiki pages for suggesting ways to<br />
adapt the film to use as a Call of Cthulhu scenario; the Keeper Notes section <br />
might include multiple such suggested adaptations.<br />
* (One/two sentence story inspired by the film, starring investigators.)<br />
TIP: Film plots are often difficult to adapt into RPG scenarios; try having<br />
the investigators arrive after the events from the movie have started happening<br />
or have already happened to NPCs, and leave the investigators to piece together<br />
the clues to find out what happened. Adaptations of film plots to RPG scenarios <br />
almost always benefit from changing cosmetic details around until the exact story<br />
is no longer easily recognizable, by changing the setting, descriptions of monsters,<br />
character names, and that sort of thing.<br />
--><br />
<br />
<!--<br />
(Add any of the following categories that apply to the end of the page; <br />
the first (DEFAULTSORT) is used to sort the film by something other than <br />
a leading The/A/An so that it alphabetizes correctly. A "Short" is <br />
less than an hour long (perhaps an episode of a TV anthology program, music<br />
video, or short-subject amateur film); "Film" is a longer feature-length movie<br />
(longer than an hour), "Series_or_Serial" may include TV programs, serials, <br />
and mini-series; "Franchise" is a series of Films, perhaps including feature-<br />
length Films, Short films, TV Series/Serials/Programs, and other media.)<br />
