Underground (2011) (Tubi) - Of the three films, this was the best
horror-thriller in that it pretty quickly ratchets up the suspense and
sense of dread and doesn't really let up.
     I suspect this one was made before "Escapee", despite also being
released in 2011 - Evangetlista who should be fourth-billed based on
character prominence is instead sixth-billed in this, so this must have
been made earlier in her career.
     Fun fact: This film "introduces" Inbar Lavi!! (Lavi would have been
about 25 at the time), though Lavi's actually barely in this film.
     This opens with a sequence in which a military assault team enters
the tunnels below an abandoned military base to eliminate some "deadly
(humanoid) creatures" - but the team is utterly wiped out by the monsters.

 And that's when the C.H.U.D.s got them...
 

     Two years later, a rave is getting thrown on the same abandoned
military base. (FTR, this was filmed in Netwon, Iowa - I have no idea if
an old army base is there, though the Maytag Dairy Farms are!...)
     Three ex-vets

 Other than dying, how do you become an ex-vet?

Ha! You got me! - The "ex" is redundant!!  ;p
