My addiction to movies about conspiracies drew me to this story about something lurking in the tunnels under Sydney, and the government isn't telling.
It mixes documentary style interviews with found footage from a camera crew that's hunted by the tunnel dwelling things. It's about as unattractive visually as you can get. The tunnels that the crew is trapped in are grimy and tight. Most of the footage is extremely grainy. If you are claustrophobic, you shouldn't watch this.
There were multiple occasions when I looked away from the screen. Not because of gore or even because something was scary. I just knew there was a cheap jump scare coming and I didn't feel like jumping off my couch. Of course, the same thing happens when my wife taps me on the shoulder when I don't know she's behind me. And guess what? That's not scary either. It's just a surprise.
the tunnel
I look on all found footage films as my children: flawed, perfect and I love them all.
Australian journalists investigating abandoned subway tunnels in Sydney find more than they were looking for in this creepy and well-crafted horror flick.
For those looking for even more scares in the same vein, try the incredible single-shot French found footage flick "Night Shot", or the classic "Grave Encounters".
Feels like one of those cheap ghost hunter reality documentaries from the afternoon program on TV
