Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Spikeopath 1928, Kentucky. A horrific disease known as "The White Plague" claimed over 63,000 lives. A monstrous sanatorium was built to isolate the infected and play host to bizarre experiments in desperation to find a cure. Unable to cope with the large amount of corpses, a five hundred foot underground tunnel was constructed for the removal of these bodies, hiding the enormous death toll from the rest of the outside world. This was called "The Death Tunnel".The above opening salvo from Death Tunnel and the stories doing the rounds about spooky stuff happening during filming, are significantly better than the actual film. All things are in place for a rollicking haunted building movie, a genuinely creepy location with a bleak history (The Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville, Kentucky), a young and pretty cast lining up to be terrified and continuing stories of real hauntings in the vicinity. What transpires, sadly, is a desperately derivative picture made worse by a group of film makers who on this occasion are out of their depth.The writing doesn't give the characters any depth to begin with, and then they are thrust into the horrors of the sanatorium and we are supposed to invest in them. Tension is in short supply as the same old same old routine of the girls walking around scared quickly gets dull. The editing and intrusive camera work shows a rookie director (Philip Adrian Booth) let loose unsupervised, making his film seem more like an over extended rock video by some Death Metal band. There's no pausing for breath, something which makes the haphazard structure of the plotting even more baffling. While of course screeching levels of volume are over used throughout as Booth and company crib from a number of other – and better – horror movies.IMDb ratings are rarely a true measure of quality for films, especially with a diverse genre such as horror, yet Death Tunnel's rating of 2.7/10 is very very appropriate. The brains trust behind this movie could have done no worse than learning from Brad Anderson's superb Session 9. Philip Booth and his brother Chris clearly love horror, but their subsequent genre films will need restraint and thought in equal measure. 2/10

Michael_Elliott 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.

snakes3992 I like this movie, it was good, I know people are scared of the plague, because I know there is no cure for it, it is a pretty scary disease, and this movie is actually great, it has great acting, great script, and a good ending too. I've seen some plague like The Sickhouse, The Reaping, and Locusus: the 8th plague. I know the girls in this movie thought it was game, but it turns to be a nightmare, because they didn't know the hospital was haunted, and that's what made the movie pretty scary. The person, the one that was wearing that mask, when he was rolling the stretcher on the floor, that person looked pretty scary, and I think this movie should not deserve a 2.7/10, I think it should deserve a 8.5/10, because this movie looks pretty creepy, its got a great plot to it, and that's why I give it a 10/10, but my real score for this movie is a 7.8/10, so that why I rounded up. well the reason why I give this movie a 7.8/10 is because the scenes that show the floor numbers, but the rest of the movie, good.

Boba_Fett1138 Here is a movie that actually makes very little sense. In all honesty, I don't know were to begin to explain why this movie is so horrible and why you should never watch it, or come as much as 5 feet close to it.The only thing that this movie is good for is serving as an example on how not to make a movie. It's a typical new-age horror flick, that I admit is good looking but never succeeds in becoming tense, scary, or even understandable.The movie has some extremely poor story-telling. The movie is all over the place and it switched back and forth between the past and present. Halve of the time this really isn't serving a purpose for the movie its story and it only becomes more and more annoying. It suffers from its totally horrible editing. All they were caring about with its editing is how stylish and cool it would all look. They seem to don't realize however that editing plays an essential part for the movie its storytelling.Just imaging this movie being an 90 minute lone trailer that just randomly puts on ghostly images and extreme fast cuts. It's all so totally random and it absolute makes no sense. It makes the story totally uninteresting and above all things also really ridicules. There is just very little that makes sense in this movie.But above all things, with all the fancy stuff jumping around on the screen, there is actually very little happening in the movie. It's a lack-lusting movie and it's true that the movie is one because of its very messy overall story-telling.It of course also isn't a too original movie and it borrows heavily from lots of other popular genre movies. Quite funny that the movie in the beginning claims that it's based on actual true events. Well, it's true that the white plague excised and the hospital in the movie is also real but that's about it really. Of course no ghost ever came back from the death and came to haunt a bunch of teenagers, well I at least think that that was the story was all about but I can't be sure since it was such a big mess to watch. 2/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
