The Keep (1983)

Michael Mann’s supernatural horror follows German soldiers who awaken an ancient presence inside a remote Carpathian fortress.

During the Second World War, soldiers occupying an isolated stone fortress disturb the silver crosses embedded in its walls and unleash a deadly presence. They force a Jewish historian and his daughter to investigate, while a mysterious stranger suggests that something older and more dangerous is at work. The film features Scott Glenn, Ian McKellen, Jürgen Prochnow and Gabriel Byrne, with a recorded score by Tangerine Dream.
