Is it good? The answer is a qualified ‘yes’, and really depends on a second question: how much do you already enjoy found footage horror? Go to Full Review

3/5
The mockumentary angle helped elevate an otherwise underwhelming experience, but sometimes a clever perspective is all you need to elevate independent horror. Go to Full Review

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie mostly because it was kind of minimalist in ways that most found-footage - and I have seen most of them - simply are not. Go to Full Review

Perhaps why The Tunnel is so effective is because it takes on a real world issue, crafting an interesting plot within that familiar story constructed as a news exposé. Go to Full Review

When scary s--- happens, the terror sticks with you because you're never shown enough to be certain of anything. Go to Full Review

[It] might sound like a mundane retread of recent creature features such as Creep or The Descent, but it manages to be something a bit more haunting in practice. Go to Full Review

Abraham R Nov 1, 2018 Great concept (not original - maze of dark tunnels with an evil presence) but not executed well enough. Didn't like the direction. The acting was just ok (I know its super low budget but I've seen these types get better acting). There are only a few scares and they were pretty good. But most of the movie was building up to a climax that didn't pay off. See more
Jan 28, 2018 Well that was 90 minutes of intense Aussie horror that I wasn't expecting to be so good. If you're into Australian Horror movies like Saw, Wolf Creek, The Babadook etc then this is certainly worth the watch. Then again, for such a low budget movie (just $36,000 AUD), they've created something at the very least on par with the Hollywood horror movies out there. Worth a watch either way. See more
Kylo L Jun 18, 2017 This movie may not be the greatest but it's a lot better than the garbage Hollywood has been throwing at us. It has a great creepy atmosphere and the characters don't follow the standard movie trope of 'were in danger, let's split up' . It's also good to see a movie that doesn't rely on tons of blood and gore to get scares and instead gives us a creature without an origin simply hunting for prey. I would love a sequel to explore this further. See more
Hagrid S Oct 13, 2014 Nope nope nope. This was immensely disappointing. Can they make a movie for once that doesn't have antagonistic protagonists that are shouting at each other every five seconds. It really sucks the atmosphere out of the movie. The "Thing" was interesting but Jesus wept was this a snore fest. See more
