The Tunnel Trailers

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.

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.

The "found film" movies can be very hit or miss. Some are well done and suspenseful, others are just boring shaky-cam snoozes. This movie is a lesson in how it should be done.There is a wonderful mix of found footage and interviews which make it really come across as quality work. The monster gets very little screen time, but what it does get is well timed and wonderfully placed to add the proper amount of terror. The setting itself is creepy as hell. Even knowing it's just a movie, I would never want to find myself in those tunnels.A must watch for horror fans.

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.

This movie does include a lot of tunnels but its not a good thing.This movie is about these journalists/rookie TV station that wants to explore the tunnels under Sydney due to homeless people living there but however there is a darker story inside the tunnels.I really felt glad seeing the imagery of Sydney AKA my Aussie pride but thats besides the point.The acting was great with all of the actors doing really well. The found footage was great with adding in every possible shot available in to the scenes. I really liked the tunnels i'm not sure if every room there was in this had the contents but it looked really authentic otherwise. The monster/ person in this was actually pretty cool i'm not gonna spoil it but its basically a jockey/beast oh and by jockey i mean the football kind( you see what i mean)It was actually pretty scary and tense at some points so i have to give it bonus points for that.I give it 7 out of 10 gouged eyeballs
