The Tunnel (2011)
Dir- Carlo Ledesma
Like many found footage films this one shares the plot of so many other films. What makes it stand out is the use of original setting and the lack of supernatural antagonists. A reporter finds herself on the hot seat unless she can bring in a hot story. Her interest is piqued when she looks into a story involving the disappearance of homeless people and some underground water tunnel projects that were abandoned for unknown reasons. Her inquiries yield few answers, so she decides she will take a film crew into the tunnels and find out what the city is hiding. As they descend into the tunnels what they find will terrify and shock them as they discover what is hiding down below. The Tunnel was filmed in a series of underground tunnels located in Sydney, Australia. This natural setting adds significantly to the atmosphere while the secrets are revealed as the movie follows the pattern of most found footage films. To stand out and seem less derivative The Tunnel does feature interviews with the surviving cast to give viewers further insight into the tragic events that will unfold and the effect it has on them. This is a great movie to watch late at night and offers genuine scares for its small budget. Worth checking out.
