Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Oh, I'm sure that at first glance the cover poster wit the woman in the gas mask draws those post-apocalyptic and virus-type film fans in, but photoshopping a gas mask onto something doesn't make it a good movie. Death Tunnel sounded so cool to me at first with its description...After the first few minutes I was ready to run outside to the coal mines behind my house and scream. What an awful movie! What is it with horror movies made in the 21st century with these stupid women in tank tops dancing at the bar? I don't understand! And the acting, terrible! They really scraped the bottom of the barrel, I've seen high school drama classes do better! The soundtrack was horrible, special effects even worse, and the most pathetic of all was how they tried to give the into a vintage film look and failed miserably.Stick with The Crazies (1973), Warning Sign (1985) or the Omega Man (1971) if you're a fan of biohazard films. Don't bother watching this.

Death Tunnel (2005) 1/2 (out of 4) Horrendously bad movie about five college girls who are put inside a haunted sanatorium where they must go through five floors of terror but things take a turn for the worse when they start being murdered off. If you're not familiar with any of the story then you might want to check out some of the TV shows and documentaries that have dealt with Waverly Hills Sanatorium. It's a true place that is considered to be one of the most frightening and haunted places out there but this film, shot entirely on location there, wouldn't tell you that. I've seen quite a few things on Waverly Hills and they've all been pretty creepy but that's certainly not the case with this very bad film. I'm really not sure where to start but I guess it's fair to say that the majority of the blame has to go towards director, writer, editor and cinematographer Philip Adrian Booth. I'm really not sure what exactly he was going for but the film comes off as a major rip of SAW, THE SHINING and THE RING. The added goodie is that they're shooting in a real haunted location but this never comes across for a number of reasons. What I hated most about this movie was that it's simply very annoying. We're given all sorts of suicide worthy sound effects that are just so annoying that you'll be wanting to hit the stop button right there. Just as worse is the type of editing, which results in a lot of fast cuts that try to "shock" when when scenes cut to violence, death or gore but it just comes across very silly. I'm really not sure what the director was wanted by the Waverly Hills place has all sorts of atmosphere but all of it is missing here, which is something I thought could never happen. The performances are all bland, the story full of non-sense and in the end this is just a really bad film.

Five girls spend several hours in a creepy hospital for a college sorority initiation. However, the place really is haunted and a body count starts to appear.Simple enough, right? Apparently not. Death Tunnel opens with a sequence in the past that turns out to be a character's dream. From that point on, too much incoherentness occurs due to cutting to scenes in the past, ghostly images and rapid editing, this movie quickly loses all sense of... anything.It fails to be scary due to relying on things like jump "scares" and the chase scenes too fall prey when over-directing comes in. Sometimes they resemble something you'd see during music videos, sometimes they're simply slow-motion. Unfortunately they are never intense, frightening or exciting.As an example of how incoherent this movie is, I missed the first death due to inability to understand what was going on.

Based liberally on true events involving a 1930s Kentucky sanatorium. A party with the theme of "Truth or Scare" goes horribly wrong and five college girls wake up trapped inside an abandoned sanatorium formerly used to house patients dying of TB. The only way out is a tunnel that was designed to take the dead out of the building without other patients viewing and losing what little hope they had left. A mystery voice on a speaker system reminds the five girls they are each on a different floor and must survive five hours. The girls encounter visions of ghosts past and they must fight for dear life to prevent history from repeating itself.The story is eerie, acting is good enough for this genre; but movie itself is just poor. Some grisly and gruesome scenes. Strong language is over used. Most viewers will be brought in by the R rating. The cast is full of eye candy and includes: Steffany Huckaby, Kristin Novak, Jason Lasater, Annie Burgstede, Melanie Lewis and Yolanda Pecoraro.
