Is it good? The answer is a qualified ‘yes’, and really depends on a second question: how much do you already enjoy found footage horror?

The mockumentary angle helped elevate an otherwise underwhelming experience, but sometimes a clever perspective is all you need to elevate independent horror.

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie mostly because it was kind of minimalist in ways that most found-footage - and I have seen most of them - simply are not.

Perhaps why The Tunnel is so effective is because it takes on a real world issue, crafting an interesting plot within that familiar story constructed as a news exposé.
