![]() ![]() Watch the Urban Explorer movie trailer below and leave your thoughts on it. What am I saying? This is a horror movie. You would think once the first dead body shows up the group would bolt for the surface or carry radios that work underground. Hearing the Adolf Hitler rhetoric in the background is nice touch. Andy Fetscher does a good job of keeping the killer off screen during the movie trailer, leaving something to the imagination. Out of sheer desperation, Denis allows Armin to lead them and their unconscious guide to safety and it is at this moment that Denis realizes he has just made the biggest mistake of his life!” I am guessing that there is a killer down in those catacombs with are intrepid teens that begins to pick them off in slasher movie fashion. Armin, a former East German border guard suddenly appears from nowhere. Urban Explorer‘s plot synopsis: “Anxious to explore the mysterious hidden world under metropolitan Berlin, an international group of four urban explorers hires a local guide, Kris, who leads them into the maze of escape tunnels and subterranean fortifications under the city. When their guide has a bad fall, two of the girls in the group frantically set off to seek help while Denis, the young American, stays behind. Andy Fetscher‘s Urban Explorer (2011) stars Nathalie Kelley, Nick Eversman, Klaus Stiglmeier, and Max Riemelt. Here are 10 top spots for the cautious urban explorer.The Urban Explorer Movie Trailer has premiered. Needless to say, none of these activities is advisable but, if you want to get some feel for the dystopian urbex world, there are ways to get a flavour of the abandoned, doomed and underground without straying into the illegal and dangerous. The most famous is the headline-making "French Spider-Man" Alain Robert. At the extreme end are rooftoppers, skywalkers (who perch on cranes, smokestacks and the like) and "builderers", who scale building exteriors. Many urban explorers are content with DERP (derelict and ruined places), but bunkerologists and drainers specialise in military bunkers and storm drains. Leading urbex cities include New York, Paris, London, Rome, Brussels and Odessa in the Ukraine, which has 2500 kilometres of interconnected catacombs, tunnels and air-raid bunkers beneath its streets, mostly off-limits. The Instagram hashtag #urbex now has almost 10 million posts.Īt the same time, new urbex playgrounds arose: abandoned Soviet Union factories and military facilities, then declining American cities such as Detroit, which were left with abandoned industrial plants, churches, schools and even entire neighbourhoods. The use of social media, selfies and GoPros by urban explorers soon raised its profile. It really got going from the turn of the millennium when it was featured on cable-television channels. Urbex was inspired by canyoning and caving it's sometimes called urban caving or urban spelunking. Urbex can see you fined, jailed, injured or even killed, but its practitioners say the risks are worth it for the adrenaline rush, boasting rights, or simply the chance to see places few people know exist. Urbex is focused on abandoned, concealed and forbidden urban structures that might range from disused hospitals and amusement parks to still-used railway tunnels and sewage systems. Then there are those at the extreme end of the sightseeing spectrum for whom urban exploration (urbex to the initiated) proves irresistible. Few of us, though, would actually risk clambering through a drain, onto a high-rise roof or into a disused factory. Travellers are natural stickybeaks, and the thought of "alternative" sightseeing is always tempting.

Ever been intrigued at what lies beneath a manhole, or behind a locked door in a museum or underground station? Eastern State Penitentiary, Philadelphia. ![]()
