Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Excellent but underrated film

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This was a very good found footage horror movie. I just would have liked to get more of A reason or explanation behind what the " creature" was. In the end it was saying something to Natasha. So I would have liked a little bit more of an explanation. But all in all it was very good.

Well I got to say, The Tunnel did not come with anything new and it didn't arrive at that quick cash grab age right after Blairwitch. So it decided to be a movie on its own without trying too hard to copycat the genre but probably, possibly to stand on its own. My honest opinion is that it fell flat.Sure, it is not bad, but for this kind of movie, it just didn't deliver on any level whatsoever, no tension, scares, no real character development and certainly no real plot. It grabbed some elements on its way, it tried to create its own little world but it never succeeded on anything. If you watch movies like The Tunnel or Creep(2004) I think you'll find what is it that you are looking for. Either a slow burner psychological or a pretty intense little horror gem. Trust me you can do a lot better than The Tunnel. Cheers!

'The Tunnel' is a micro budget found footage horror film that holds it's own against most of the big budget horror films released in the last several years - and in many of those cases, surpasses them.The first quarter of the film has a nice slow pace, getting us familiar with the story and it's characters - which certainly isn't a bad thing. Although, I will admit, I was starting to get slightly impatient. The acting, for the most part, is solid all around. They say you get what you pay for, so in this case, they got more than expected. Once the group enters the tunnel, that's when the fun begins - the lighting is what it is, not the best, but after I realized they went for the less is more approach, the lighting or lack thereof is going to be a huge factor in the scares that lie ahead, and there's plenty. We never get a clear shot at the 'monster,' but they give us just enough to keep us interested. It's what you DON'T see, that really makes 'The Tunnel' a frightening fun ride. If you can find this gem, do not hesitate to give it a shot. Random Ramblings of a Madman: I hear there's a sequel planned, so hopefully they won't struggle for funds, the way they struggled here. It's fairly annoying seeing bad films like 'The Gallows' get the funds needed, while small films like 'The Tunnel' struggle to get released. Oh, and remember - less IS more. Do not ruin the sequel, please.

Whether you enjoyed the Blair Witch Project or not, it set a president in these 'found footage' horror films. Over recent years they've been cropping up in every country, showing us the tale of people who - for some reason - feel the need to feel the entire of their supernatural encounter, right up until the point of their demise.This is Australia's entry into the genre.It starts off slow. You can basically skip the entire first half hour - it's all backstory and character-building. Some may like a slow start, others won't, but, either way, you'll still be able to understand the film if you do.It's about four members of a news crew who go below Sydney into the abandoned underground system to get a story. Naturally, they get more than they bargained for. Unfortunately, what follows is simply the same as you'll see in any other 'found footage' film. You have people running around screaming, talking into camera, shaky camera-work, only brief flashes of whatever is hunting them, the obligatory night-vision shots, getting lost and bickering with each other and so on.Yes, it's well acted and nicely presented, but, perhaps the most disappointing aspect of the film were the 'interviews.' Whereas in other 'found footage' films they go the other way and have a piece of text at the beginning telling (spoiling?) the viewer by saying this footage was all that was found, i.e. everyone in the film is dead or missing. The Tunnel Movie interviews the survivors all the way through the film, cutting their thoughts on what they've filmed. For me this kind of told me who survives and who doesn't. I felt the interviews should have been taken out all together. At least that way the viewer wouldn't know who lives and who dies until the end.The Tunnel Movie is okay. There's nothing bad I can really say about it, but then there's nothing that I haven't seen before. If it was released before Blair Witch, it would have been the benchmark with which all others are measured against. Sadly, it's nearly fifteen years too late for that title, therefore it gets lost in the multitude of 'Blair Witch clones.' Not bad, but nothing new.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/
