The Tunnel

This is a really well made found footage horror about a cover up by the Sydney government and the documentarians who seek to expose them. Things do not go according to plan when the crew go underground only to discover the politicians were right to abort all plans. I won't say any more for fear of spoilers.

I gave this a 7 because I found it really effective and claustrophobic. The filmmakers explain early on why they are filming everything which covers all bases, I find sometimes in found footage horror this sort of thing takes you out of the experience especially when there's only supposed to be one camera but there end up being multiple camera angles, this film does a good job of explaining that.

My only criticism is there is a character called Tangles which I found to be a rather hilarious sounding name. There is a point in the film where they are looking for him screaming out his name and I couldn't help but laugh as this part of the movie is supposed to be serious but the sound of another man shouting "Tangles!!!" Over and over again had me in stitches.

All in all a solid found footage horror with a daft character name that distracted me.

TANGLES!!!!!!
