THEY
WERE ALL DRAWN TO THE KEEP
The
massive structure of The Keep was not built to keep anything out...in
fact, built to keep something in..
 It is World War II in German-occupied Rumania.
Led by Captain Klaus Woermann (Jurgen Prochnow), German soldiers are
sent to guard the Keep, a mysterious fortress. A cross embedded in the
wall is taken by one of the soldiers, releasing evil and destruction,
killing soldier after soldier.Nazi
soldiers under the command of Major Kaempffer (Gabriel Byrne) have
been sent in
 to further investigate the killings and deal with what is thought to be partisan activity. But a nightmarish discovery is soon made.  Dr. Theodore Cuza (Ian McKellen), a Jewish
historian and his daughter Eva (Alberta Watson) are enlisted and
dragged to The Keep to unravel the mystery of its gruesome killings.
Shortly thereafter an old and crippled Dr. Cuza (McKellen) has an
encounter with the resident evil within, "Molasar", The Keep's ancient
evil being. Dr. Cuza agrees to sell his soul to Molasar for youth and
health.The
arrival of mysterious stranger Glaeken Trismegestus (Scott Glenn) not
only has a
 profound affect on Eva Cuza (Alberta Watson),
who falls in love with this mysterious man, but also a profound affect
on the evil Molasar. For he is the one and only man who knows
what Molasar is and how to destroy it. "You
have...death around you"
 Wondering where Bruce fits in with all this? Bruce
(a very young Bruce) plays Border Guard #2 in the film. It is a very
small role with no speaking parts. Israfel captured as many photos as
she could. The quality of some may not be superior, but this rare
obscure film is only available on VHS and was made in 1983 with no
signs of a DVD release in the near future. If it does, you can be sure
we'll obtain a copy and replace these photos with new and improved ones.
    In these next two photos, Bruce is second soldier holding gun running directly behind Jurgen Prochnow    Wondering where Bruce fits in with other cast members of the film? Jurgen Prochnow was in Ripper: Letter from Hell with Bruce, playing Detective Kelso. Alberta Watson as Madeline was in La Femme Nikita. Bruce starred in three episodes. The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films, USA nominated The Keep for the Saturn Award for Best Horror Film in 1984. Music for the film by Tangerine Dream.
