A haunted subway.......seriously ?

You can't tell the difference between a tunnel and a subway? Further, there was no "haunting" since there were no ghosts in the entire story. Go read the Three Billy Goats Gruff if you want to know what it is.

Lol subway? Wtf, what movie did you watch

reply

Maybe it's a cultural thing...but I'd call that a subway too.

[Subway (underpass), a walkway that passes underneath an obstacle such as a road, usually a tunnel (non-US/Canadian usage)]

...do you REALLY love lamp..?

I dont know, here in europe a tunnel is something that passes underneath, a subway is light rail underground (usually metro, but all railway services work).

A haunted subway.......seriously ?

It's more of a weakness between dimensions/other worlds, where people can cross over.

Why is a "haunted subway" more laughable than a haunted house, possessed car, or demonic doll, all of which feature in famous horror films?

I agree; I think the haunted subway/underpass or whatever, and it's inter-dimensional shifts, was actually a refreshing take, and I found this movie genuinely creepy.

They were just trolling, even the spoiler in the title is a dead giveaway that they are trying to annoy people. Quite ironic a troll mistaking a troll for a haunting.

In a rural village where my grandparents used to live has a tunnel exactly like that (only a bit shorter).. its so out of place between the edge of the village with around 500 people (mostly elderly) and the forest around it.. its creepy. now next time I cross it Im going to think of this movie.

reply

There are a few of these types of tunnels/underpasses around me too, and they're creepy as hell -- but more because you're likely to mugged or raped there rather than something paranormal. 

That's another point about the film I quite admire—in addition to the coins-behind-the-sofa budget, they took a post-war suburban tract-house neighborhood, of the sort I grew up in in LA, the kind of place where the sun nearly always shines & there's really no history, or mystery, or anything in particular worthy of suspense, & made it genuinely eerie by adopting a common pedestrian underpass as this site where an ancient creature lurks & captures prey.
