I watched The Tunnel, because I super love found footage movies, and I plan on checking every single one out with the exception of Cannibal Holocaust. For real killing of animals is absolutely NOT OK.
Once I found out it had such a tiny budget I appreciated it a lot more. They were actually smart to film it where they did because it automatically unsettles the viewers. Getting lost in a labyrinth of tunnels with limited light makes you nervous before anything starts happening.
It's almost an entire hour into the movie before our monster finally starts doing things but the build up to it is still fun to watch. You never get a clear look at it, but I don't mind that "less is more" approach. Plus the film has an actual ending and not just the camera getting dropped or footage coming to an abrupt stop. I thought since it took place post events it kinda spoiled things as to who lives and who dies but surprises were still thrown in there.
There's obviously a lot of running around, but these are broken up by actual events happening so it's not boring.
My only complaint is that there is absolutely nothing that even hints at what the monster COULD be or how it got down there. That's a bit of a bummer.
