WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

ozyhmandias792 I welcomed this movie with a moderate dosis of skepticism, at first. It was an endless summer evening and my poisonous boredom required a powerful antidote. My fault was simply not being accustomed yet to the extreme form of realism of this exceptional horror sub-genre, and I believed a movie shot in a dark environment would only get me confused or, in the best hypothesis, a strong headache. I was completely wrong. I couldn't move my eyes from the screen for the whole time, completely hypnotised by the intensity of the plot and the (astonishing, considering I didn't know any of them before) performance of the actors. But the most important consequence of this movie is what is left after its end : questions. Deliciously unanswered questions. Watching this movie guarantees the arrival in your brain of mindblowing questions like : "could this happen in my town? Is something lurking in the dark beneath modern civilisation? At what cost do metropolitan areas expand? What do they leave behind, unseen and unexplored?" I felt pure excitement after "The Tunnel" ended. I hope someone else can experience this as well.

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.

Kurt Smillie Carlo Ledesma's "The Tunnel" is a first class example that all you need to for some great horror is some awesome camera-work and an even better script. Too many movies rely on huge million dollar budgets and first class-CGI and come up relatively short of being great or even good movies in some respects.Natasha ( Bel Delia ) is a reporter that is working on a story that she feels is going to be make her career. We're introduced to Natasha's crew early on with Peter ( Andy Rodoreda ) seemingly in a constant power struggle with Natasha. Tangles ( Luke Arnold ) and Steve ( Steve Davis ) are the goofs on the crew and make up the rest of the party venturing into the tunnel. Australia is going through a water crisis and the government comes up with a plan to tap into the huge reservoirs that are trapped in Sydneys' underground tunnel system. Natasha senses that it could be displacing the homeless that use the tunnels as an escape from the city that has forgotten about them. Sound like a setting for a great horror film? You're not wrong. Eventually Natasha and her film crew start to uncover a much bigger story. It seems that the homeless that use the tunnels are starting to disappear and no- one knows where or really seems too care. The government seems to be turning a blind eye and no one is allowed near the reservoirs as Natasha finds out the hard way when her contacts turn her down. Eventually when they get into the tunnels, they find out the hard way that some stones are better left unturned.Without giving too much away, the "creature" is shown sparingly and more of the terror and horror come from the limited light sources and the viewers' imaginations. My friends and I still have arguments to this day as to what exactly was hiding in the tunnels as the shots are somewhat vague, but extremely effective. The movie starts off on a slow burn, setting up the events that ultimately lead to a life or death struggle down in the tunnels. The Tunnel is a movie that is best viewed with an open mind and a couple friends. Classic indie horror at it's best, it's also proof of the quality of horror movies that Australia has been churning out in the last few years. Although not as famous as "The loved ones" or "Storage" , This movie is a prime example that not all scary things come with a million dollar price tag.One of my all time indie favourites... Watch this movie and you'll be looking over your shoulder every time you venture into a concrete tunnel in the park alone.7.5/10Stay scared friends.Kurt Smillie.

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.).
