So on this insanely slow news day I’ve stumbled upon an intriguing little feature that I just had to tell you all about. Have you ever heard of a filmmaker releasing his film for free via torrent sites? No? Well there’s a first time for everything isn’t there?
Needless to say that’s exactly what I’ve come here to tell you about today. Australian filmmaker Carlo Ledesma is planning on dropping his film onto torrent sites to give people the opportunity to see it – for free! I’m liking this guy already. So what’s the project about? Well it’s a twisted little genre flick called THE TUNNEL. You want details don’t you? Yeah you do. Check it:
In 2007 the NSW government suddenly scrapped a plan to utilise the water in the disused underground train tunnels beneath Sydney’s St James Train Station. In 2008, chasing rumours of a government coverup and urban legends surrounding the sudden backflip, investigative journalist Natasha Warner led a crew of four into the underground labyrinth. They went down into the tunnels looking for a story – until the story found them.
This is the film of their harrowing ordeal. With unprecedented access to the recently declassified tapes they shot in the claustrophobic subway tunnels, as well as a series of candid interviews with the survivors, we come face to face with the terrifying truth.
The Tunnel also marks the first time that missing sound recordist, Jim “Tangles” Williams, speaks about his experience during those chilling hours… This never before seen footage takes us deep inside the tunnels bringing the darkness to life and capturing the raw fear that threatens to tear the crew apart, leaving each one of them fighting for their lives.
So what do you guys think? THE TUNNEL have potential? It’s at least worth a download right? Unfortunately no date has been set for THE TUNNEL’s release but as soon as we hear the word on that we’ll pass it along. In the meantime be sure to check out the trailer for the feature below, or over in our brand new videos section, and spit some bullets below with your opinions on this whole thing!
