In 2007 the New South Wales government suddenly scrapped a plan to utilise the water in the disused underground train tunnels beneath Sydney CBD. In 2008, chasing rumours of a government cover-up and urban legends surrounding the sudden back flip, investigative journalist Natasha Warner led a crew of four into the underground labyrinth. They went down into the tunnels looking for a story – until the story found them. This is the film of their harrowing ordeal. With unprecedented access to the recently declassified tapes they shot in the claustrophobic subway tunnels, as well as a series of candid interviews with the survivors, we come face to face with the terrifying truth. This never before seen footage takes us deep inside the tunnels bringing the darkness to life and capturing the raw fear that threatens to tear the crew apart, leaving each one of them fighting for their lives.

As mesmas técnicas e truques como em O Projeto Blair Witch e [REC], mas nos esgotos e túneis sob Sydney e sem mostrar o monstro. Mas a credibilidade é sobretudo destruída pelos contínuos flashbacks das entrevistas retrospetivas com os participantes no evento, quem sabemos que são atores e não verdadeiros jornalistas, que também dão a conhecer quem conseguiu sobreviver. Não é um conceito ideal quando o filme é suposto atrair-nos como uma história real.

Docu-horror, this time from Australia. It’s not even found-footage because some of the characters survive the horrifying events in the tunnels, take the camera to the daylight and now present the film to the viewers, which, let’s be honest, is not the smartest thing. It may add authenticity, but ruins the fear about who will survive. In some key moments, the camera shakes even more than usual in similar films and the image is blurry and intentionally bad. I don’t know, I used to like docu-horror, but they are beginning to be too many of them and this one in particular really pissed me off. I’m rating it the way I am, but I must admit that “objectively” The Tunnel is not that terrible.
