Aroview: This creepy investigation into the whereabouts of missing person via a sinister pedestrian tunnel plays its cards close to its chest while resisting to urge to deliver cheap scares or a blood-soaked climax.

Hyped to a surprising degree in horror circles, this adopts a slow-burn approach in the vein of dir. Ti West (HOUSE OF THE DEVIL), however it is blighted somewhat by an inadequate budget, and a first time writer-director-editor who isn't yet in command of all three disciplines.

3 stars (Good Enough) Mike Flanagans debut shows signs of greatness and reflects his love of Force of Nature horror. Sadly it does suffer from budget issues, but if you can put up with it's very indie feel and don't mind a slow burn there are moments where it really delivers ~Sevenhead
