Review of The Tunnel

I didn't mind the found footage, Im used to that now since pretty much every other horror film seems to be doing it, but I thought the documentary style interviews were pointless and irritating interruptions to the action. They simply repeated what was happening in the film and were completely unnecessary. It feels as if they put them in there as a way to add a twist to the rather overdone found footage genre, but it works about as well as when people try to make Shakespeare more edgy by making the cast dress as Stormtroopers or something else totally ridiculous. I did like the monster-at least we got to see a bit of it, but I hate it when the mystery surrounding these things isnt explained -I cant tell if it's a crazy human, a science experiment gone wrong, an evolutionary freak, and neither do we know why the government is trying to cover it up instead of just sending in the army to sort it out. We aren't told anything about the monster so once again, Im left with an unsatisfying ending, but at least Im lowering my expectations now because every other film seems to think its acceptable to do this. And with that, Im off to watch some X files.
