Horrifyingly horribly horrible


I just finished watching this movie and I felt the need to warn anyone else who was considering doing the same. Please, don't. I can't understand how such a movie would have actually been greenlit?? There was no story, no script, horrible editing and cinematography (I want to include horrible acting in this, but given the look of the film and the horrible dialogue the actors were spouting, it's hard for it not to be horrible). The movie is an absolute disgrace. The first 40 minutes of film have painfully few lines of dialogue, way too many flashbacks and flashforwards, and horrible footage of the building exterior with ominous cloud coverage, or a dark corridor with a shadowy figure. I fought not to turn the movie off, the only thing really keeping me watching was the hope that one of the female leads would take their top off in the next scene. Over one hour into the film there is no mention of the 'Death Tunnel' and no real villain or plot line.

I can't even form my thoughts coherently enough to give this movie the horrible and scathing review that it deserves. I'm actually dumber for having watched this film. This movie is an example of 3 guys that were given way too big of a budget and not enough film-making ability. There is more emphasis on CGI and special effects than there is on anything else in the film. The 'scares' are predictable, the dialogue is cheap, the shots are awkward and often too tight on the actors faces (I once questioned whether the two actors in the scene were in the same room when it was filmed), the script is abysmal, and the cinematography is repetitive, shameful, and the lighting is inconsistent.

Do yourself a favour and DO NOT WATCH! This was one of THE worst films I have ever had the displeasure of sitting through.

Harrsionfan your review is spot on. Its full of cliches and was painful to sit through. This is movie is so bad it can never possibly be good even by accident.

I'm 29 minutes in, (not heeding your warning) So far the best line is

"You're just like one of those incurable....(over dramatic pause)..PEOPLE!"
"DON'T EVER CALL ME THAT!!"

I bought this DVD a while back (along with paranormal activity) because it looked good, when i got home i had a gander on IMDB and was dissapointed to see all the crap reviews and just hoped anyway that i'd like it, unfortunately proved to be the worst film ive ever seen, if i hadn't read the back case of the DVD i wouldn't have had a clue as to what was going on, and even knowing it was the worst pile of turd ever in the history of my personal filmwatching.

The idea was good and the locations, etc dunno what went wrong.

I really wish I'd seen this before I had the misfortune to sit through this steaming pile of dung tonight. It's on TV in Ireland at the minute and good god, I haven't seen anything this bad in years. HORRIBLE!

I think this line's mostly filler

Shanna, yeah i'm also watching this on TV3 right now, just had to check out if everyone else on IMDB thinks this is terrible, also the worst movie i've seen in years!
