Rammstein before they were Rammstein — East Berlin's chaos kids finally get their due.
Hard, harder, hardest! This film orders you from the start to turn up the volume and pay attention. "Look out! We're Coming to Get You!" is a flood of images driven by a tempest of guitars. The film's creators jam 20 years of German music history into 120 minutes of film. Musicians from BLIND PASSENGERS, DIE SKEPTIKER, SANDOW and other bands explode their way through the film. Fans of the DEFA documentary "Flüstern und Schreien" ("Whisper and Shout") already know the stars of that film, Aljoscha, Paul and Flake of the band Feeling B. Here they have a chance to see how these musicians survived the period after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the "escalation of possibilities" that came with it. And you're allowed to laugh, too!

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Carl G. Hardt shot most footage guerrilla-style at illegal squats and basement venues that no longer exist.
The film preserves 'Ostalgie' before it became marketable — these musicians genuinely mourned their disappearing world, not the GDR regime but the specific cultural gravity of isolation.
