Blair Witch meets Descent. It tries so hard to show it is a 'real' documentary, but you still know it's all fake. Also the build-up takes too long. If you're into these kind of movies, I guess you will like it.

Does quite a lot with a relatively tiny budget. The setting is a good combination of decrepitude, narrow passages, and creepy creaks and groans. The filmmakers showed restraint in never giving us a clear view of the creature, making it all the more frightening. Yes, there aren't really any new ideas, yes, the documentary style turns out to be an unintentional spoiler, and yes, the camera always seems to be in the right place at the right time, but overall it builds a tasty mountain of tension.

It doesn't do anything new and in the end there aren't many scares, but The Tunnel was pretty effective in building a suitable atmosphere. The used locations are wonderfully creepy. Just a shame the antagonist didn't really have an impact, weakening the climax of the film. Also, the fake documentary approach undermines it a bit, making it clear who will survive the film. Would've been more gripping without that knowledge.

Najgorsze w tym filmie nie jest to ze nie straszy, wrecz przeciwnie - straszy i to bardzo ale kiepska gra, ktora zakloca i tak naciagana fabule. Niestety jedna z gorszych pozycji typu dokument-nawiedzone miejsce-krecone z reki.

Claustrophobic and scary, applying the found-footage trope in a highly effective way. Falls short in its application of a rather uninteresting documentary-format in what seems to be an attempt at diversifying itself from its (far superior) source of inspiration, REC. Nonetheless, in its own a well-made and enjoyable (as in terrifying) horror film.

Pretty competent.

Fun horror movie, surprisingly well done for a movie they were giving away for free. Makes you wonder if they can put this together and give it away what can they do with a real budget. The monster wasn't especially frightening but the running through the tunnels with something chasing them was awesome.

Oh god, I loved the part where the killer-thing broke the man's head off! (I swear I'm not a creepy serial killer, I just thought it was kinda a creepily awesome scene!) XD Also, while there were some really good parts, it was a little disappointing, and the acting/dialogue was pretty weak.

First-person survival horrors usually owe a debt to The Blair Witch Project, but its influence on Australia's contribution is the heaviest yet. What it lacks in originality, The Tunnel makes up for in thought-provoking imagery; thoughts like "I can't see anything. What am I looking at? Is that a wall again?". Thankfully, when there's action the camera is always aimed at it, even when nobody's holding it. That the dialogue's main purpose is to state the obvious also keeps things clear.

Aussie "Blair Witch" knockoff, with a dash of "The Descent," about people finding yak-faced evil in a subway tunnel. These things are getting done to death and collectively lost their sting some time ago.

Film w popularnej ostatnio konwencji horroru kreconego z reki. Praktycznie zerowy budzet dal w rezultacie calkiem interesujacy obraz. Tunnel potrafi wystraszyc i do samego konca trzyma niezly poziom.

The monotone mockumentary interview dialogue destroys any sense of tension and suspense heavily dragging down an otherwise good film.

Good Movie

A derivative but agreeable little horror tale that creates and maintains a perfectly respectable level of suspense on a small budget. Sign of the times -- this is a movie that the filmmakers themselves have made available for download, and they only ask for voluntary contributions: http://www.vodo.net/thetunnel
