It's really more sad than scary. That poor man will never know how close he was.
yes very sad.helpless
Really is scary because he is standing right there and no one can hear him scream
@@Aqibali-jt7eg I know right like been powerless not in control I feel that way sometimes In life I can't escape mentally I think that the basis of this short
gjy
Also after going in the tunnel that night for 29 hours and Is alive the next day. there's a poster for the man saying he went missing and was never found again.
Someone was just walking through that tunnel once and thought "damn, this is just straight out of a horror movie" and now we have this
Can confirm.
and that tunnel doesn't even look scary
It is a horror movie- “Absentia” made in 2011 - really good movie
@@mimsley5It is a movie? Where can I find?
@@isaGualteros - netflix or amazon I would think- I can’t remember where I found it…
3:26 The shot of the empty tunnel gave me chills. It really cemented that there is no escape and they are doomed to suffer alone.
There was only one guy in the tunnel

@@abrakadavra3193They both suffer alone, one inside, the other outside, so 2 men...🙄
Oh no, the poor fellow! Will he die of thirst in the tunnel, or will he also be stuck in a time warp, wandering between the exits for eternity, going insane? Or does the tunnel release him after a year, but a hundred years have passed outside? Is it comparable to the diabolical loop in my hallway that leads me to the leftovers in the fridge at night when I actually wanted to go to the bathroom? Thanks for the nightmarish video!
I’m in love with you
You have a creative mind

@@absolutfeen8463 Well, I'm in love with them too, so we'll have to fight each other for them. That, or have a threesome.

Awesome, very psychological. Feels like a nightmare
Yeah true

No jump scares, just well done psychological terror. Kudos! :)
gradtuitously gaye!
@@AodhMacRaynall-dr1sf Not sure how you came to that conclusion. I believe the 3 women in this story are supposed to be sisters, and no one seems to be sleeping with anyone else.
@@madnessbydesign1415 Lol bro wrote a whole story because of the word gaye
Funny how the smaller indie creators have more expertise and effectiveness than big budget big names Hollywood
@@neonsurfer3217 stupid comment
“The Tunnel" is a 1952 short story by Friedrich Dürrenmatt, one of the best “existential” rendering I’ve ever found - (and I’ve looked!). A tunnel is such a useful metaphor in the hands of a great author, similarly hallways with endless doors opening on more hallways as Sartre’s “No Exit”
No. Sartre's "No Exit" is about the theme of hell is other people.
I'm never going in a tunnel again 😮
If I heard a noise I would have went out first thing...not waiting another minute
The backroom
If you Google and scroll down a little bit the book version is on there to read 😊
We have this beliefs in the Philippines that if you're lost or you cannot go out to where you have to go, in a forest or in a specific place just reverse your clothes, so that entity cannot get to you
*Sorry for my grammar
Fantastic work. The ending with the faint "help" was legitimately chilling.
You have good hearing. I had to go back and turn up the volume to hear that.
Yep,very faint "help",unfortunately his best friend missed it.😢

@@olivier-pierredebelmont.3630he heard it I think
@@olivier-pierredebelmont.3630 friend? her boyfriend.
Fantastic! It feels like one of those dreams where you keep getting trapped over and over again.
By chupacabras?
like triangle 2009 movie 😜
Yikes! I don't be having those dreams, thank goodness! My recurring dreams are ones where I find myself really really high, climbing something like a train tressel or the worlds highest chain link fence. I come to a point where I have to do some simple maneuvre, like climb over the top of the fence to the other side, and Im suddenly gripped by panic and terror. THIS makes THAT look like a walk in the park 😬
@@poutinedream5066 Damn that's a pretty bad dream! I wish we could at least pick a scenario every night 😂

Sometimes the simplest things can be most terrifying.
Wow that’s the same tunnel Mike Flanagan used for his first movie Absentia (2011) !
That’s the first thing I thought of when I saw the thumbnail too !! That’s a greet movie.
I knew I wasn't crazy
Hey man do you like horror short films? Then you can also visit my channel named "Think Different" You will get my channel videos just searching "haunted mirror by Tann & Jim, Thank you man, hope you will visit😊❤️
I thought so! Been a while since I saw that movie so I wasn't 100% sure.
I came here to say the same thing...
Scary and well made! I was feeling his tension! And the see no monster effect is always a banger!🔥
Thank you for the kind words! And yes, the less you see, the scarier it is, imo. The Blair Witch Project is, for me, the scariest movie I’ve ever seen and that aspect is a huge part of it.
no monster effects, but no sense either.
@@andrewclabaugh7946 Finally someone who praises TBW as much as I do. The Tunnel was awesome!
A banger?
I'd say that in this case, the tunnel _was_ the monster.
So great! The end is actually a bit sad, his boyfriend can hear him, but thinks it's just in his head. Well done!
Absolutely legendary. The perfect example of what horror should be and what big cinema fails to make it. And that soundtrack... the synthwave adds so much to it too. And the framing of the shots. And that empty tunnel shot at 3:26. It's all just so well made.
Exactly. The big money movie makers think blood, gore and jump-scare are the only kind of horror. This is much scarier and more relatable.
@@magnus1001 Yeah, it's rather unfortunate. And I can understand a well-placed jump scare (I'm thinking about the one and only jump scare in Jaws, which didn't even involve the shark), but when movies overdo it - which most horror movies nowadays do - it becomes cheap and not even scary anymore. I can also understand some gore in horror movies (Jaws is yet another good example), but when movies have constant gore that repeatedly pushes the limits, it becomes distasteful and also feels cheap.
This. I don't want to see demons, or ghosts, or goblins. No shadow people. This. This is TRULY horrific. True horror. This is one of the scariest short films I've seen on TH-cam.
Same here. It lingers in your mind, I watched it three times

then you wouldnt want to live my life
A short endless tunnel with no escape.
U spoiled it bruh
And this black tunnel presents life..dark and hopeless..🙂
@@MiraMohmed Only dark and hopeless, but no life.Also writing this was pretty cool..Never wrote a message from left to right.
How can an endless tunnel be short?
@@Yourmom82829 don’t be in the comments before the 6 minute video ends bruh
This is a good example on how to make a horror film, whether it be full length or short. You don't use jumpscares, you use atmosphere for the setting and let the creeps vibe in to do the scare on the audience

Simple concept, executed quite well! Well done.

Very nice - well made and obvious that each shot has a lot of thought put into it, but also has the simple functionality and intrigue of a good old fashioned TWILIGHT ZONE segment
Great concept - as if tunnels aren't scary enough already
Hey Bro do you like horror short films? Then you can also visit my channel named "Think Different" You will get my channel videos just searching "haunted mirror by Tann & Jim, Thank you man, hope you will visit😊❤️
Very well done. As a writer, I wish I had thought of this one myself! The tunnel could also represent the future for this man who might be subconsciously insecure about meeting the parents of his bf and as such he can't get out of this tunnel. He is "stuck," frightened of moving onward with a relationship-.
You could easily steal this idea
@@frakismaximus3052 Oh, no, I never do that. There's some hard work putting a story together, editing, etc.,and it is never worth stealing someone else's if you know in your heart it wasn't yours! It's kind of pathetic.
When I was a senior in high school someone stole my story that had been published in our school magazine ( I was a junior when it was published).Then, when I was a senior, our English teacher asked us to submit a short story for class. Well, some idiot contributed MY STORY and the only way I could convince the teacher it was MINE was by showing her a copy of the school magazine Pegasus where my story was published in one year ago. It really upset me because she wouldn't tell me who it was. But--heh-heh, I figured it out!
stop projecting XD
@@Oriol-oo7jl art is subjective and open to interpretation. she isn't projecting lol.
@@Oriol-oo7jl It's an interpretation, not projecting.
That was good......I was hoping for a shot of the tunnel lengthening as he ran, then you did that restart/warp effect.
Well done!
An eerie, spooky treat for Halloween! Congrats to the whole Team!
Agree they all did an excellent job

duct tape, on a tree is exactly how i would describe this movie.
Imagine actually walking home at night thinking this tunnel is a nice short cut Just to go missing completely 🤯🤯
I think in theory you could've ended the film right at 3:30 while slowly moving the cam backwards until the tree from the last shot comes into view. :D
But of course I also appreciated the additional scenes and enjoyed this one as a whole! Fun watch and simple yet cool idea. Also well cut for the effect in the tunnel scenes. Keep it up!
This just goes to show you don't need insane gimmicks or jumpscares to make a good thriller. This was quite terrifying in its own right. Very well done! 😊
Terrifying?

This is more of a mind trip, than terrifying.
I've watched enough Star Trek to know a spatial anomaly when I see one. You have to walk backwards🤣
I’ve had a dream like this before. For me the song Californication kept playing in the background as I got trapped over and over again. Now I can’t listen to that song without feeling that overwhelming sense of dread I felt in that dream.
There was another movie with the same scenario and concept. But it was about a girl who lost her boyfriend in a tunnel like that. He was unable to come out, she was unable to find him in.
What's the name
@@f.7379 I don't remember it. It was longer shot and she even found some belongings of his in the tunnel...
Absentia. It’s actually an early Mike Flanagan film.
The one that I meant is not Absentia though, but I guess this scenario comes to be quite abused and used :) Nothing bad in having lots of interpretations of it. :)
@@sassycat1825 did it have Doug Jones in it
A weird alien looking creature
Or a pregnant woman looking for her partner?
thats kinda sad
You've captured my childhood recurring nightmare of an infinite hall in the house! Looks like I'm not the only one :) Loved it!
this is still a perfect short. It's always those that just make you to want know more but the answers are never reachable, just like this tunnel
Great idea and well done!
Fantastic short. Great plot. Loved it.

Like a nightmare. When you are stuck and find no escape....only thing that you feel is Helplessness!
I want justice for him
Amazing
I can feel his tension how badly his eyes wren king for out of the tunnel😢
Amazing 👍lot's of love and support from ur new subscriber ❤️ keep going my friend 😀
Bro that's awesome. Loved it ❤️ All the best to all cast and crew. Everything was perfect. Especially the location 🔥. Love from 🇮🇳

Very well done! Keeps the tension...Maybe he should try to make a hole in the roof of the tunnel? That´s creepy, omg.....
Puts me very much in mind of Stephen King's 'Crouch End' and '1408'. Good job!
High praise - thank you!!
Yeah! "Crouch End"!
I don't know what we call this type of film but yes it has similarities with « 1408 »
Lembrou-me muito os filmes de Isaac Ezban. O incidente, em especial. Com as Backrooms e como no conto The Tunnel de Friedrich Dürrenmatt e na obra de Sartre, citados pelo amigo abaixo, temos uma infinidade de opções e variáveis sobre o tema. Muito interessante.

I like it. Love the shot at the end during credits. Well done🏆🏆
Congratulations! very good movie. Good luck with the upcoming horrors! I've subscribed
Just spellbinding and bone chilling!! It's a big screen material and if it'd be possible anyway I bet everyone would be as petrified as am still now even after the end shock in this little gem of a horror movie!!

Yesss! I love it. I've never liked tunnels.
This is very well done!
That was the best horror movie that I've ever seen, good job
That looks like a revamped version of the tunnel in the movie Absentia.
Awesome work... 👌
Does anyone else sometimes have that exact same feeling when looking forward while walking and your position doesn't seem to change at all? Happens to me on certain nature paths with repeating patterns of the same texture on the side so my brain feels like I don't move even tho I do
You guys never saw Mike Flanagan’s Absentia, I assume? He even used the same tunnel. Fun concept but Flanagan beat you to it by a decade (though not exactly the same story).
Yeah, we’d genuinely never seen it. I just live near this tunnel and thought “damn, that is creepy as hell.” Guess we weren’t the first to think so! I’ll have to check it out.
VERY well done. Kudos. How long did this take to shoot, Andrew?
Thank you! 🙏🏻 and we shot this over two days.
Gripping... What a treat... Amazing
Forget about ghosts, tunnel's thing is more scary. Great job!
Oh man, this is a creepy one. Poor guy. The way the tunnel kept extending reminded me of nightmares I have had.
Not a single shot wasted. Awesome concept and story and not a second too long. Just kind of wish this turns out to be a trailer for a full length film, I want to know more about how what's going on here!
Watch the 2011 horror movie “Absentia” a tunnel full length horror movie- great movie
That was really well done.

Great camera work...great cut...and i love the Story.
Reminds me of the old silent hill games. Psychological horror at its best.
Before he even went into the tunnel, I guessed what was going to happen. Predictable, but still a very cool concept.
Muito bem pensado. Gostei demais da ideia. Parabéns
Ooooo dang...that was unnerving! Love the ending!!
I really enjoyed this one as it could be "naturally" explained by some sort of manic episode that would cause a person to disappear
An endless loop? Not the best kind of horror but still scary.
This I loved ❤❤ there should be a part 2, u can only come out if someone else goes in. But u never see who comes in, jus u can finally leave
Hey mam do you like horror short films? Then you can also visit my channel named "Think Different" You will get my channel videos just searching "haunted mirror by Tann & Jim, Thank you man, hope you will visit😊❤️
He should have maybe just kept going through one way straight. Like it seemed when he reached one end he turned around and went back the other way then reached the other end and he turned around again and again. IDK but fantastic short film really sad and chilling. Well done great acting and excellent camera shots. Excellent movie!. Loved it..
incredible short. wow!
Wow this was amazing
These tunnels are under freeways in the San Fernando Valley. There were two near my home in Sherman Oaks; one has been closed off. They were already spooky in the late '60s-early '70s! The rough texture on the walls is new, they were polished concrete before.
Good eye! We shot this in the Glendale/Burbank area.
Is this the same tunnel used in absentia movie? Love this and that film
Great concept!
Good job 🔥🤌 can't imagine the bts of just running back and forth for the shots 😅
Awesome short video keep up the great work!!! 👍 👍
I would have tried throwing objects, like my shoes, just to see what would happen.
it is that "why hasnt anyone though of this before"-feeling. Very seldom it happends. This is genious!
Great stuff! The concept is conveyed visually very effectively.
That was totally some Twilight Zone stuff!
Dope.
Really well done. Thought it was a bit silly and poorly executed for the first 45 seconds but then you coldcocked us with horror around 1:08 and what followed was brilliant. I assume that was by intention. Bravo 👏

Did anyone else make a note of the street sign just before the tunnel entrance that says, Cosmic Way 400 (could also be 1400 or 2400)? That detail alone offered me a distinct impression of “where” he was headed. Such a shame.
Nicely done. 👌🏽
The tunnel seems to be a metaphor for his indecision in ending a relationship.
holy shit jerma
Great concept!
I viewed it as a metaphor for relationships, when one person becomes so emotionally stuck in a personal issue that they can't progress beyond, while the other person can no longer relate to them or emotionally recognize them and is forced to move on, even though they still love and miss them.
From a gay perspective, this also doubles as possibly something to do with going back in the closet and being unable to "come out", due to his invisibility and inability to communicate with others. It's something that some closeted gay men sadly become trapped in and can't move beyond.
That's a great analysis!
Does it hurt emotionally them to not tell people theyre gay
@@nd264u7 Yes, it can. It can create barriers, both internally and externally, because they have to hide or suppress a significant part of themselves.
@craiggie1628 It still seems insignificant to me because gay by definition means men with men instead of women, it is a different way of having sex. I don't think it needs to be a big part of someone's personality, like people say. For example, why would you feel like there is a barrier between you and your mother because she doesn't know how you have sex/who you have sex with? The same with friends, siblings. You can be a weak/soft male ('gay') but I don't understand why you need to clarify who you want sexually to someone or else the relationship is impaired
@@nd264u7 You're looking at it solely from a sexual perspective. There could still be a barrier between you and your mother, friends, and siblings because they may wonder why you don't have a girlfriend, aren't getting married to a woman, having children, etc.
There are many other social impacts, including having to hide your social life, activism, and political interests.
It can impact self-esteem, including being ashamed or self-loathing.
Also, being gay isn't just about sex but also about love. You would have to hide one of the most significant relationships in your life. It can create significant complications and strains if one partner is out but the other isn't.
But I think your reference to "weak/soft male" reveals a lot about your understanding of what gay is.
Henceforth, I think twice before entering a tunnel, no matter how innocuous it looks. 😂
This was so good !!!
What Psycho did for showers, What Lies Beneath did for bathtubs, this one does with a tunnel. Leaves me wanting more! Well Done!
Amazing🔥
Amazing idea for a Horror!!! 💪👍Great Job

Very well done. Great music over the credits. Kinda curious if Andrew would have made it if he tried running with his eyes closed. Anyway, beautiful film.

Never ending tunnel... no escape.... but seeing everything you love....creepy as hell......
Moral of the story: you don't need a treadmill if you have a cursed tunnel
legend has it that he's still running through that tunnel til this day.
Legend has it that man is still trying to make it out of that tunnel
