The story

In 1941 Romania, following the commencement of Operation Barbarossa, a motorized Gebirgsjäger unit of the Wehrmacht, under the command of Captain Klaus Woermann, arrives at an uninhabited citadel known as 'the Keep', with the aim of taking control of the Dinu Pass in the Carpathian Mountains. Two soldiers, privates Lutz and Anton, attempt to loot a metallic icon within the Keep, but accidentally unleash a spectral entity who kills them. The being, known as Radu Molasar, kills five more soldiers in the following days and begins to take corporeal form.
