Leofwine_draca I've seen plenty of bad movies, plenty of them are B-movies, but it's safe to say that DEATH TUNNEL is the ultimate nadir of the genre, one of the worst films I've seen in a long time. The only interesting thing about the movie is that it takes place in a real-world building with a sinister history far more frightening than anything in the film, but unsurprisingly the writers and producers fail to capitalise on this connection.Instead, DEATH TUNNEL becomes a film that causes excruciating pain as it progresses. Both writing and direction (from the 'Booth Brothers') are exceptionally poor, with the narrative involving various porn-looking actresses wandering around in flimsy attire and calling to each other. Meanwhile, the director goes all out with his flashy, headache-inducing, MTV-style editing, making each and every sequence a real mess to look at.For some reason, the narrative jumps all over the place in time, throwing in constant flashbacks and the like so that the cast are still being introduced about halfway through the film. Then there are the inevitable death sequences, which are lame in the extreme, along with gratuitous nudity from the silicon-enhanced actresses taking part. Not that these people can be called actors, not really; I've seen better acting from my local pantomime group. Each and every thing about DEATH TUNNEL makes it a hopeless mess, a production that absolutely nobody could like.

emandil I strongly recommend this film. As opposed to the usual "straight to DVD run of the mill" crap that hits the horror shelf, this one actually was a bit original in its take on the "locked in a scary place" angle. I also enjoyed that the scary effects relied more on sensory input, flashbacks and some empathy with the victims rather than drenching the watcher in blood, gore and badly created monsters/ghosts.It looks like the director had a clear vision that he wanted to get through to the audience and he executed it brilliantly. It is, in my opinion, "Barker"esque when it comes to the visual presentation of the entities inhibiting the hospital.

lauragilcomb44 Having worked in independent films for years, I'd like to think I can rate a movie with detachment and clarity. One thing I have noticed on IMDb is that "indies" get a lot of reviews that use words like "horrible," "a must miss," "sucks," "don't wast your time," and "worst movie ever." Really? Worst ever? First thing I discovered is that in more cases than you would believe these comments are written by friends or acquaintances of the film makers. For what ever reason, jealousy, envy, or even just kicks, they feel the need to write the worst tripe about the movie. They use false names, and as these small movies do not get a lot of votes or comments the vituperative remarks tip the balance against the film. Second are the snipers. They love to assassinate every movie they can. Don't you wonder why they rented or bought this movie in the first place? Do they not recognize the signs of a B movie? What were they expecting? There are two possible answers. They are stupid. They cannot tell the packaging of a low budget B movie from the latest Dreamworks DVD. If this is the case I pity them as they are just showing their lack of intelligence by purchasing the movie in the first place, and then telling everyone on IMDb how stupid they were. Or they may just like trashing movies. It's fun. Like beating up an elderly person. Not much chance of getting hit back.As mentioned above their comments lack style, insight, or even a modicum of actual film critique. Death Tunnel and others like it deserve better. Those of you that care about independent film must learn to disregard the rantings of these vermin that seem to thrive on low budgets. Pity them. If you can't pity them kick them in the shins.

MartianOctocretr5 This dry trashterpiece is so boring it will make you think you've been hit by a tranquilizer dart. It takes an infamous haunting "hot spot," (a sanatorium where many people died of a plague in the '30's) along with stories surrounding the place, and takes this potentially interesting theme nowhere for 90 painful minutes. Think of a bland shade of gray on a carpet that stretches out to the horizon in all directions: that's how exciting this film is. Five groupies, who look and dress like Madonna on a cheap drunk, are at a party, then we see them moaning inside the sanatorium (shall we rip off Saw, anyone?). Then they start to scream endlessly. The acting is atrocious: but in all fairness, they weren't given anything to work with, either. The plot, if you want to call it that, inches along slower than a dead caterpillar, and cheap "loud noise" moments fail to scare the smallest child in the audience. A dull mono-tonal soundtrack forever drones on in the background, and the sets lack any creativity of design. The same flashing pictures of rotting 8 mm film clips and browned newspaper clippings are used like a machine gun, but it fails to conceal the fact this movie has absolutely nothing going on. Then there's that "distorted voice of evil," also used poorly.Making "finger puppet" shadows on the wall would be scarier than this turkey.
