About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you’re into found-footage horror with a claustrophobic underground setting and a gradual build, similar to Lake Mungo; Not for you if you hate shaky visuals, long setup, or unanswered questions.
Pros: creepy tunnel setting; solid acting; tense slow-burn | Cons: slow first half; shaky, dark footage; thin explanations
