The Tunnel

5.8 | 1h30m | NR | en | Horror

In 2007, in the midst of the drought and water shortages, the NSW State government has unveiled plans to tap into and recycle millions of litres of water trapped in a network of abandoned train tunnels just beneath the heart of Sydney. However the government suddenly goes cold on the plan and it is not made public why. There is talk of homeless people who use the tunnel as shelter going missing, even though the government states that there are no homeless people in there. This, and the silence from the officials and ministers, leads a journalist, Natasha to begin an investigation into a government cover-up. She and her crew Pete (Producer), Steve (Cameraman) and Tangles (Sound Technichian) decide to investigate the story in the tunnel.

Reviews

johnwiltshireauthor This movie was so boring I ended up only listening to it whilst surfing other things on another tab. If something happened (about twice) I flicked back and rewound and watched. Even those scenes were about as interesting as watching someone else watch paint dry. The whole thing was blurry, shaking nonsense. It's frustrating, too, because no sane person would go down in those filthy insane-asylum-looking tunnels in the first place, not even for a story (they were journalists), and if they did they'd want a platoon of huge f-ing soldiers with them. Yes, okay, I admit the tunnel itself was particularly unpleasant and I was getting claustrophobia watching them scurry around in it. But a few bits of concrete can't make up for complete lack of plot. Nothing happened. Four went down, two came back up. I have no idea what happened to the other two and neither did the survivors as far as I can see. Boring waste of time.

Finfy I gave this movie a chance since most of the reviews were quite positive. Even though I am not really into the found footage genre that much I thought I could give it a shot.Well I kind of regret it.The movie felt like it needed almost an hour to build up the whole story about who and what these people were trying to film and just the whole thing didn't make a lot of sense.Weird spooky things in some tunnels that kill (or eat) people or something? I did not quite get it. There was no explanation whatsoever. Only weird things messing with the protagonists and bad documentary styled footage in between action.The acting was also cringeworthy and the German dub (maybe the English voices are good I do not know) made everything look like a cheap student project.If you like stuff like The Blair Witch Project you might enjoy this but I certainly didn't.

Flavio Foglia Nothing new here in the horror genre. Actors are good, but the story is predictable and contains elements of a lot of previous horror POV shaky-camera films, so there's nothing new and exciting if you are familiar with the genre. A movie made with such a low budget is excusable for some cheap stuff it's got, like always recurring to darkness to not allowing people to see what's happening, but why attempting at CGI with poor results rather then use a real actor with make-up?Also, it is extremely predictable. You can understand who will manage to get out alive from the beginning, since it starts with an interview to the survivors. Want to talk about the main character? A yelling woman who does nothing but attracting the monster for the entire film with her moans. My suggestion: see it just if you are bored and in the mood for a low-budget horror movie. Otherwise, watch some better alternative (The Descent, The Blair Witch Project, Rec, Cloverfield etc. etc. etc.).

jonnithomas I was really pleasantly surprised with this movie.The basic premise is promising but the storyline isn't so hot but it is held together by some excellent and very real solid acting.I don't like this type of movie usually but this didn't rely upon loud noises to make you jump or preposterous baddies and blood and guts.it was well directed and stayed within realistic boundaries to keep your interest.the four main actors acquitted themselves well and gave what could have been a bad film real life and interest.I don't understand why some people have been so unfriendly towards this film; perhaps they are fans of Texas Chain Saw and Amityville. It isn't that type of film.
