The Keep (1983)

During World War II, Nazis assigned to guard a pass in a small town in Romania take over an old fortress, aka the keep. When they find crosses in the walls that seem to be made of silver, a few of the men decide to remove them in hope of making money.

The removal of the first cross opens a portal in the keep which releases an evil presence who starts killing the Nazis. When the SS rolls into town, they believe that the Nazi deaths are due to the townfolk and threaten to kill them if the deaths don't stop.

There is also a professor and his daughter who are brought to the keep to help the Nazis. Plus a stranger who knows what the keep holds and makes it his job to try to contain the evil within it. The evil being, Molasar, is kind of spooky and looks cool. The film is more suspense than horror.
