Default movie "Below" and its distant cousin "the keep"

the film "Below" is a better ghost story than it is a WW2 sub film, but it is a WW2 sub film still.

for those familiar with Below... read on

for those few who are unfamiliar here is the plot:

Just days after sinking a German Submarine Tender, an American Sub is rerouted to pick up survivors who were spotted in a raft. The survivors turn out to be the only people who escaped the sinking of a British hospital ship that was attacked by a "u-boat" just a few nights before. Upon their joining the submarine's crew, strange things begin to happen, the crew is on edge and sabotage is suspected. Eventually, it is revealed that the captain of the sub died in mysterious circumstances while he and the officers investigated the burning wreckage on the night they sunk the sub tender. The crew now believes that the captain's ghost wants his submarine back and when odd occurrences and strange coincidences add up to a runaway submarine, they will do anything to escape the haunted boat.

one of the movie recommendations under "similarly themed movies" was a film staring Jurgen Prochnow called "the keep"

the one liner plot synopsis of The Keep was:

"when german troops occupy an old romanian fortress during the second world war, mysterious murders blamed on an evil supernatural force begin to occur."

has anyone seen the keep?

reviews? info?

thanks
