The Tunnel (2011)
Holy crap...
I'm not going to lie... I downloaded this movie as soon as it was released (legally, look it up) and before watching it I didn't have high hopes for it. A *free* horror movie? How much effort could possibly have gone in to it?
Apparently a lot.
While the actors were fantastic and the set was amazing, what truly blew me away was the sound. Just the oppressive silence broken only by drips or footsteps. Sound can really make or break a horror film and in this case I can honestly say it worked!
As a general rule, if you hate "found footage" movies such as Paranormal Activity, The Blair Witch Project and Quarantine then give this one a miss. Otherwise by all means have a look! It's free! I know for a fact that I will be buying the DVD as soon as possible.
Ju-on: Shiroi rôjo (2009)
A good solid horror flick.
I'm a massive fan of the Ju-On series as well as the American Grudge series.
I watched The Grudge: Old Lady in White in the dark, alone at about 2AM. What a brilliant idea that was. The film is only an hour long and thus grabs your attention early on and doesn't let go.
The Good
-Completely different universe to any of the other Grudge/Ju-On films which is a refreshing change as in my opinion, Kayako was beginning to get a bit overused.
-A good mixture of subtle build-ups and in-your-face scares. I literally punched my laptop in one scene.
-Doesn't try to be anything other than an intense and scary film.
The Bad
-Only an hour.
