10 Best Hidden Gem Found Footage Horror Movies
4. The Tunnel (2011)
It is a common adage that everything in Australia is out to kill you, and that's true for their horror movies as well. The likes of Talk to Me, Wolf Creek, The Babadook, Lake Mungo and more prove that the country's spooky films are as aggressive as the wildlife, and this found footage nightmare is yet another feather in that cap.
The Tunnel follows a journalist and her crew as they investigate a network of abandoned underground tunnels in Sydney after a government project mysteriously ceases. However, what they find down there is far more dangerous and terrifying than they could have expected.
This film follows traditional found footage tropes, with the characters slowly but surely succumbing to a mysterious enemy, with some gruesome sequences, tense moments, and spine-chilling sound design.
However, one move The Tunnel makes that helps it to stand out is the lack of context and explanation. The film doesn't satisfy you with all the answers to your questions. Instead, it allows the mystery of the evil entity to haunt you, which - while possibly frustrating for some - really adds to the flick's mystique.
