Last we heard about Carlo Ledesma’s found footage horror flick THE TUNNEL, it was March, and the news was that the film was going directly to Bit Torrent and DVD, skipping a theatrical release altogether. However, today we learn that the flick will indeed be a theatrical presence, if only in Canada. Starting on AUGUST 5th, you’ll be able to see THE TUNNEL in select Canadian theaters – check out Empire Theaters’ official site for showtimes.
In addition, we’ve got a new poster for the film, although it’s not much different from the previous artwork we’ve seen.
The film’s synopsis: In 2007 the New South Wales 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.
As a side note, you can expect a review of THE TUNNEL to hit our site very soon…
