Plot summary

In 2007, in the midst of the drought and water shortages, the NSW State government has unveiled plans to tap into and recycle millions of litres of water trapped in a network of abandoned train tunnels just beneath the heart of Sydney. However the government suddenly goes cold on the plan and it is not made public why. There is talk of homeless people who use the tunnel as shelter going missing, even though the government states that there are no homeless people in there. This, and the silence from the officials and ministers, leads a journalist, Natasha to begin an investigation into a government cover-up. She and her crew Pete (Producer), Steve (Cameraman) and Tangles (Sound Technichian) decide to investigate the story in the tunnel.

Good effort, but a couple of major flaws

I respect the film-makers for putting out a well-crafted film. The acting was uniformly competent and, outside of a setup that took a little too long, was directed fairly well.

If there had been no "Blair Witch Project" and the other, similarly 'real' movies, than this would have been rated higher. But all this pseudo-reality stuff has been done before, so there is no novelty to the approach.

Add to that, the fact that the actors are all credited at the end of the movie and one of the primary intentions for this film (to make you believe it actually happened)goes out the window.

After showing at least one actual murder, that this should not have launched some sort of official investigation is just absurd. It may be implied that the government has covered this up, yet it still is highly implausible.

The biggest flaw, for me, is the storytelling device of showing the 2 survivors from the beginning. Also, when one includes the emergency call played at the start, it is very clear early on who the dying person is. Why do something that will telegraph who will live and who will die? It just saps a big chunk of suspense from the movie.

So, again, nice effort and creative marketing, but...ultimately...not something I would watch twice.

TANGLES!!!!

This is a really well made found footage horror about a cover up by the Sydney government and the documentarians who seek to expose them. Things do not go according to plan when the crew go underground only to discover the politicians were right to abort all plans. I won't say any more for fear of spoilers.

I gave this a 7 because I found it really effective and claustrophobic. The filmmakers explain early on why they are filming everything which covers all bases, I find sometimes in found footage horror this sort of thing takes you out of the experience especially when there's only supposed to be one camera but there end up being multiple camera angles, this film does a good job of explaining that.

My only criticism is there is a character called Tangles which I found to be a rather hilarious sounding name. There is a point in the film where they are looking for him screaming out his name and I couldn't help but laugh as this part of the movie is supposed to be serious but the sound of another man shouting "Tangles!!!" Over and over again had me in stitches.

All in all a solid found footage horror with a daft character name that distracted me.

TANGLES!!!!!!
