Right off the bat, I went into this movie blind. I had no idea what this movie was about, "is it a creature film? is it a psychological horror film? is it a post apocalyptic film?" I had no idea at all and also I have not seen the trailers as well unlike most of the audiences which were blinded by false marketing of this film. I was on a horror movie marathon and I just randomly picked up this flick. And I enjoyed the hell out of this film. I fell in love with it, with how its directed, acted and shot. The movie is not about any creature (maybe)or any paranormal horror, its just a tale of two families trying to survive a post apocalyptic world for which they are willing to do anything. Both of the families can go to any limit to protect themselves. The world has been engulfed by some sort of mysterious pathogen probably a virus, our lead characters do not know much about the disease or the virus. Much of the danger is kept quite ambiguous. You, as an audience, do not know much about the danger lurking on the family, so that creates a sense of uncertainty and paranoia. The acting here is just jarring and so surreal, its actually jaw dropping and feels really disturbing at times, everybody is just great in this film. I think much of the hate towards this film by the audience is because of the false trailers which suggested a different premise for the film. People should go watch movies without any kind of expectations, they would probably enjoy more. In my opinion its the best horror movie I have watched in a long time. This movie keeps you theorizing it. It leaves you thinking, which is an element of great classics like THE THING, THE SHINING etc. This movie is a must watch. Edit: I just watched it a second time and I absolutely loved it. This is a genuinely terrifying film and it needs to be experienced by everyone, especially horror junkies (as I am too). I would like to put my opinion here that when movies like THE SHINING and THE THING were released back then, they were not received well, neither by the people nor by the critics, but now everyone praises them and call them the great classics which shaped horror genre. The point is, people need to understand that this is not a bad film. Jump scares every second is not true horror, true horror is when a movie's creepiness lingers over you long after watching it, its the feeling of terror you feel when you put yourself in the place of the characters, its the presence of the unknown and unseen that is truly terrifying. These are somethings that audiences need to understand before talking bad about a film. And if you still do not like it, then no problem everyone has a different taste. Also, DON'T WATCH A MOVIE WITH ANY EXPECTATIONS, it will probably ruin your experience, no matter how great of a film it is.

Being a found-footage fan, I am always on a quest of finding unique and creative found-footage movies, but for me The Tunnel was not that good. It felt like I have watched it, and the idea of people being stuck somewhere, especially underground has been presented so many times before. I felt like there was no originality here. Lets talk about the characters, so there is one character in particular that I want to punch so hard in the face, its the girl Natasha Warmer, this character is so annoying that I can't bear her on the screen, she brings all of her friends in danger in the first place just for her own personal interest, which some may say its because so the movie can happen but then still she had made her friend ditched an already planned dream assignment, and even after one of the crew member goes missing, she insists on covering the story, if that was not enough for her, she screams and cries hysterically while escaping, even though the creature was right behind them. The rest of the characters feel pretty real to me. And this movie was not scary (for me at least). Also, I don't, think having a low budget is an excuse, I have seen better ones with the same budget.

After watching this movie, I can confidently say genuine horror movies are still alive and there are also people who care about making one. I really liked this film. The movie begins with a scene that defines the whole idea of the movie, which is really amazing. I think this movie falls under the category of cosmic horror. We, much like the characters in this film, have to sort out what's happening. There is also a very subtle metaphor in this film, which adds another layer to this sci-fi flick. And I have to say the ending left me shocked and I was theorizing about the possible implications it has. And I really loved how the movie concluded. Needless to say, actors are great in this movie, most importantly they feel like real people. Everyone was phenomenal in this movie. I highly recommend watching this movie. But do not watch it if you are a fan of "JUMP-SCARE" kind of horror which today most cash grab horror movies focus on. I am kind of happy to know that people still care about making genuine horror films and I am looking forward to future work of Lorcan Finnegan.

I went into this movie expecting blood and Gore like the other slasher movies. I thought this is the kind of movie where a masked killer stalks a couple or something like that but this movie was so much more than that. It was so much more realistic. I feel close to the characters. I can relate to the protagonists. The chemistry between the husband and wife is so good, they looked like real couple.Also, in these kind of films the characters make dumb decisions but this was not the case for this ride. The movie also explores provoking thoughts about Parenthood and decaying society. The movie intelligently foreshadows it's themes about false Parenthood in the beginning through means of radio broadcast which is just amazing. Needless to say this movie was 10 outta 10 for me.
