Winner of the 2021 Roadsmary's Baby Horror Short Film Festival!
Synopsis: A nature photographer discovers an old railway tunnel that holds a strange mystery...
Directed by Sean Louis Kelly
Starring Spencer Fappiano and Sean Louis Kelly
Filmed at the Steep Rock Preserve in Washington, Connecticut.
I'm sorry, but the ending totally lost it for me... when the guy was freaking out, constantly ending back up at the same place - that was scary AND to date, this had been one of the best fear inducing short horrors I have seen. I think a more ambiguous ending that leaves the fear of forever being lost would be better
I was also upset that he ate a tourist because he is not a zombie, he is a lost person.
Bear Brown ~ exactly. I didn't understand the ending AT ALL
@@Irish_Georgia_Girl It did seem it was tagged on.
totally on the money Up to the wheezing and the guy turning around lunging at you, it was interesting and scary to think that all roads looped back to the tunnel no matter what. It's like the author said hmmm, I can't think of a cool ending though. Let's just do the worst jump scare ever and ruin a potentially cool film. Great! The echoing sounds at the start were great because you think they are echoing till the long one hits. then you go well, maybe it's a long tunnel. then you hear the FIRST sound come back way later and you then have the sinking feeling it's some monster or alien duplicating the sounds. Then you have the loopbacks which were pretty well done. It's just the same tunnel but edited with gradual sound coming in to give the feel he is really unable to escape the tunnel then.... person two comes along and ruins it all. Better to end it with dude #2 walking in, disappearing and then you hear the whiz sound once more then the guy screaming, cut... end. if you can't come up with a genius ending, just leave it open. Don't do a 13 year old iPhone video ending. :(
Cheap ending. Even less expensive but much more cinematic alternative, let him keep running the loop until the sun goes down. He sits down in the dark, crying. 10 seconds of black screen with sobbing. Cut to credits. A lot of shorts leave the ending open and we get better closure from our own imaginations. That being said, this film could have been made by one or two people and it was still worth watching. That isn't an easy feat. This could literally have been filmed for the cost of a kazoo and a fake blood capsule. Not bad at all. Honestly just clean up the ending and re-release. And yes I realize that film won at the 2021 festival. Everything in 2021 was crap. First place still has room for improvement, and I'd like to see more of the creators' work. Just run the storyboard past a few trusted friends or fans before diving into the project. Cheers
The ending would have stood out as a great loop if the main character, after hearing the kazoo that final time, took out his kazoo and played it back meaning he was the one who played it for himself initially
Yessss!!!! That would have been the perfect ending!
That would have definitely worked as an ending. How about if he took his bag but left the kazoo behind for the next hiker to go into the tunnel and disappear, so that becomes the never ending cycle? No, scratch that. I like your idea better.
That's what I thought was going to happen..but got kind of disappointed.
Or just keeping it an inexplicable stuff. Looping has become common.
Yeah that's what I assumed at first too
Addiction can be like this. Always circling back to the same dark threat, not wanting to enter in but it keeps calling to you no matter which direction you go.
True bro
You nailed it
Same happening with me. I try to not get distracted from phone and social media. But it keeps happening doesn't matter how much I change my routine. Initially I used to study in night but study 1 hour and wasting 5 hrs on mobile so I changed my routine .and now I goes to library, try to wake up early but always ended up wasting my 4-5 hours on this. It's like I don't have control on myself.
Wow! Amazing analogy.
So very true!!
Ahhh. Stumbling upon a dark, mysterious tunnel in the woods, then walking-in to it after hearing inexplicably -delayed "echoes." What could POSSIBLY go wrong?
You could slowly start losing your mind
You could slowly start losing your mind
@@AdventureofMadnessOfficialAOM you could slowly start losing your mind
Jump scares are unimaginative and uninspired. The end scene ruined what could have been a satisfying short film.
Why dont u make one then ...
It didn't "ruin" it. That's excessive. Still very good
I agree, it took some of the mystery away and was kind of a let down.
Still not a worthy Jumpscare for me cause I expected that...
I agree it should have been anything else but a jump scare
First extra echo coming from a cave is my clue to run 🏃
Looks like at that point it might be too late
Sure do
@elonawilliams4809 You are 100,000,000,000% right. But more importantly . . . . . . . . . . . you would NEVER find me hiking in a woods in the first place. 😒
@@ms.mustlovecats1556 sad
Agreed!!!
This took the prestigious “I’ve seen this somewhere before” award.
Sure did. It's almost exactly the same as every other "Tunnel" movie. Same plot. Same basic characters. Two guys on a phone, one goes missing due to getting trapped by a paranormal tunnel, the other guy goes looking for him and finds the tunnel where the first guy disappeared.
The dark show
I watched this twice to see if I missed anything and I think I chose to just enjoy it for what it is. I like to think that the guy that walked in the tunnel was his friend that called to check on him in the beginning. Seems like maybe the main character was going through some things and maybe this tunnel was like an existential crisis that he couldn’t get out of until someone else came along
That’s an interesting theory
Or it’s dogshit
2:40 NO way am I going near that tunnel. At first spontaneous sound.....I'd be running & saying The Lord's Prayer! :)
Pray to LL Bean..
But he was stuck in the loop..I was saying the same ..run!;;
I have paused there like let me check comments first
And i know i realised i should have not
I would have called my friend to search for me and stayed put on the bridge.. that's the closest he got to where his car is parked .
Pretty good. Great scenery and tense, but you won’t catch me going into a cave that keeps playing a kazoo back at me 😂
But it's already too late, no escape
Pretty sure it's filmed here in Wisconsin
Very cool concept! Loved it. I agree with others on the ending. I would have also liked to see more of a panic while the main character is running through the woods. More disheveled and scared maybe shots of desperately screaming for help. Even though there isn’t any sound, the audience would be able to feel the nightmare the actor felt. This would have sold the fear more for me IMO. Really well done I enjoyed this a lot.
Lol they literally did that
It's really good, until the end seems a bit of a let down in comparison sadly. There' an 'air of menace' up to that point, perhaps the second character could be delighted to emerge through the increasingly creepy tunnel unscathed - then at the other end encounters the first character either dead or crazed out of his mind. I dunno, something more tho cos it's decent.
I sensed his panic, even without the noise. I kept thinking, try your cell phone, but I know he wdnt hv gotten reception.
@@edwardchapman6003 I get the impression it to do with him been trapped he keeps ending up back at the same tunnel creepy af
@@victorcruz9492 sorry maybe it wasn’t clear. I wanted more of that and I wanted it to be more intense
Oh, I've felt like this before! Being lost while hiking when no one else is around and the sun is starting to go down. It's scary. That's why you have to pack extra water, food, and something warm to wear just in case you become too tired to find your way out before dark. The scariest thing is mountain lions and bobcats that you see roaming around, not sinister caves. Hmmm. Then again, maybe I just got lucky to escape in time????? This film was pretty awesome! A sequel/part 2?
The scariest thing is people. Been working at night out in the woods for years and the scariest thing in the forest walks on 2 feet. A bear cub is a close second though. Mountain lions are spooky but you get used to them pretty quick. Usually they are just trying to figure out if you're prey or not. Fight back or yell and they back off quick. They like to stick to eating things they are used to. A guy around Lake Tahoe was inside his sleeping bag sleeping and managed to fight one off. No major injuries even. As long as you don't run you're fine.
It was okay until the ending scene. It went downtunnel at there. 2/10.
Nice.
That is good point. Ending could have gone better
fantastic actor, his ability to convey emotions and thoughts without lines is incredible
Yeah, I really like his acting! I saw a lovecraftian sci-fi short yesterday and none of the 4 actors in it were nearly as good.
For me the use of Clair de Lune felt perfect to encapsulate the 'just one one' phenomenon that always hits me while hiking. I have to see whats up just one more hill, around just one curve, across one more stream, just one more...adventure. It feels so tempting to keep exploring. Luckily, it's hasn't ended like this for me...yet.
I really loved the use of sound and the different cinematography used in this film. The different cuts used in the film really portrayed a sense of being lost scared!
I will avoid tunnels. Really beautiful scenery and loved the piano 🎼 music 🎶
Scared the crap out of me. It's left me with that creepy feeling.. to be honest I got so unnerved I closed my eyes when I saw the first guy standing facing the cave wall. Good job!
Good afternoon) Rate the short films on my new channel. Thank you very much)
Yeah that definitely gave me the chills
The piano music at the beginning had a very nice touch, very well done! Sometimes you don't need "big" music to complement the film.
Great short! Loved the cinematography and camera angles. I know this cave and surrounding area. I love going there. You’ve now given me something to think about next time I go there. I do agree with the others here, if you had just left the whereabouts of the first guy unknown and let the second guy fall victim as well, that would have been a better ending. Still! Well done!!
Unknown cave in forest...next time one groups fall victim,Noone there
@Azril05, ...but...but you went into the cave? And came out of it, at the other side?? Nope. I'm not going in there. I'd rather stay out. Die outside, in the sun. A nice short, well-time. But I agree with others. I find the blood not making much sense. Alternative: the young man showing his face that has aged considerably, making clear that a lot has happened to him. Or not... A time loop thingy perhaps. The possibilities for a story like this are actually endless.
Where is the cave? I live in Pennsylvania. It looks like a Norristowns Farm Park .
@@willemvandeursen3105 Yes! I went in.....but I came out in this world, not the one I left behind. I've been searching for a way back but I can't find it. I'm trapped here!!!!!! The only answer is to try and find the cave again and go back through it......
It's a cave, not a tunnel?
Damn, was about to think i finally found a short horror story that was really well done, uncanny and maybe actually unsettling, then theres that ending... why :(
Probably because every other movie called "Tunnel" is the same plot with the same characters but no ending, so they thought they could plagiarize a crappy overdone story as long as they gave it an ending this time.
there was this short movie recently where some guy enters a modern concrete tunnel where he could never escape from. He can still see the exits on both sides but simply can't reach them and if someone else enters, he doesn't even exist....
Oh yeah i watched it to its sort of similar to this film
I love how beautiful the scenery is, including the tunnel. It creates such a great contrast to how threatening this lovely place gets when there's no way out.
Watching it, instantly reminded me of the TV series Dark (2017). And the wheezing sound he heard back from the cave was from him, on the other end of the tunnel, a time displacement event, very similar to Dark. I agree the ending was rushed. It would have been better to see the skeleton remains of the photographer because he was caught in a time loop. Just like the next victim.
Mais DARK impossível
ending was funny. I felt like there were not any good idea for the end and they just wanted to finish with a joke. the script, the acting and as an idea this short as a whole deserves a better ending.
I was watching this video from India Kerala , I had a similar experience in my past while I had been walking alone in a rubber plantation in my thirteen years age I was isolated in the middle of very large plantation and I couldn't find out the access to come out in to my route I wandered more than three hours I fall in fear but last I prayed to God for finding out my route finally I reached in my proper access but I didn't see any devil but I think something bad evils in the atmosphere what we need to do in this kind of situation We must trust on God and be courageous don't lose your mind control So only God would save us ..thank you
What a beautiful landscape!
Indeed this was some of the best suspense I have seen in a long time
why is no one talking about how the movie gives, the vibe of "dark"
Because dark is of different level. This is very naive..
I was searching for this comment
The true terror is that comma in your comment. Get out, intruding comma! Get out of that statement! And give back the capital letter and the question mark! To answer your question, how would you know what people are talking about? Is that haunted comma telling you lies?
What I love about this is that it kept me invested despite the crisp of cinematography. The angling is brilliant it gave us a different point of view of the environment. Makes the forest creepy. The ending was kind of disappointing but it can still be improved! Luv this.
Exactly this is what these short films need, more suspense
In Malay culture, this is real. We call this situation as 'kena sorok' (hide by 'something') Mostly they were found by rescuer after a few days but some cases, they were lost forever without any clue.
you mean people ended missing and found reported being at an entrance of a tunnel and ended back at the same tunnel over and over again? or some other type of rock formation or tree etc
may be it’s south asia thing bc we have something like this too literally my biggest fear as a child
@@TomAS-wm5mn it involved a myth or ghost stories...
Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
@@TomAS-wm5mn Indonesian here. Not the tunnel, it's about you are keep on going then realized that actually you end up in the same place over and over again. Happen in the jungle, mountain, or crossroads.
I am so glad you made the protagonist smart enough to walk away from the cave at a _90-degree_ angle. It wasn't enough, but at least he tried.
So I really loved this and I have some thoughts about the ending that make the initially weird and seemingly unnecessary last shot make a lot more sense, or at least, my theory on what was happening would account for it in an interesting way. Could be wrong, but I don't think there's any evidence against my interpretation, so for anybody interested, here's what I'm thinking. The first thing we learn about the protagonist is that he's been acting out of character lately - it sounds like he's being distant in a way that's not typical for him and his friends are starting to worry. This might be nothing, but considering how insistent his friend was on the phone, I'm inclined to think we heard that call for a reason. Basically, we immediately establish the possibility that the protagonist is not doing well mentally. If that isn't actually relevant, then I'm not sure why we had that call on-screen at all. (Entering the tunnel was also weirdly hard for him, like it was repelling him on purpose until eventually it let him in. I'll get to why that might be worth noting in a moment.) At the end, the echoing sound of his whistle... thing (can't remember what those are called) plays from the tunnel as someone else (someone who seems like the cave explorer type) approaches the tunnel. But, the tunnel allows the new guy in immediately. There's no spatial warping mind-screw, he just walks in. As he's getting deeper into the cave, what originally sounded like the echo of the whistle-thingy starts to shift and sound more like a weird, hysterical human noise, kind of an unsettling, broken whimper. Then the new guy sees the first guy, who's spaced out hardcore, and we get a strange jump-scare. So basically, what I think was happening is that there was no supernatural element, or if there was, it had nothing to do with space shifting. I think the original protag's friends were right to worry about him, and we're seeing him have a psychotic break. There may never have been an echo of a whistle at all, just the sound of him freaking out deep in the tunnel, severely distorted by the tunnel's acoustics (hence the slow shift of the sound into something very different when the second guy comes in). Second guy approaches the cave, hears a weird noise, and goes in. Nothing strange happens at first and he is allowed to enter immediately rather than experiences weird space stuff, because nothing strange other than mental illness has ever been happening. In the cave, he finds the first guy, who's losing his shit, and first guy kind of lunges for second guy in an ambiguous way that might or might not have been hostile. That's my two cents. I like my interpretation better than "and the jumpscare at the end was out of place and didn't quite fit", so I'm probably sticking to it. That said, even if this wasn't the intention and the very end just kind of fizzles and that's that, I'm not gonna complain much about the literal final second of a video not landing very well when every other second was fantastic. All in all I really enjoyed it. At best it's a really clever subversion of expectations that's taking a big risk on viewers not putting pieces together, and at worst, it was an excellent horror short that had a single second of mild disappointment at the end. Either way, I had a great time.
I think you nailed the creator's intention: mental illness
The whistle-thing is called a kazoo.
He was running in circles going crazy. This was a good read
OMG, shut up.
Fantastic analysis. Thanks for sharing!
In japan, there is a tunnel like this, and nobody has the courage to enter, as they say, who enters, never leaves.🎌
There seems to be a lot of creepy shit in Japan, including that suicide forest. I would love to visit or even live in Japan one day, if not to just get the hell out of USA...
the pizza on his hat is off putting. got chills immediately. great flick!
Intense! Awesome! Great short film, loved it👍
I agree with other comments. The concept and buildup were absolutely brilliant. The ending was one of the worst I've ever seen. This should just be reuploaded ending with him going into the cave. If anything, it could have been when the guy walked into the cave at the end he saw several copies of the original guy. Or he just saw a wall with no entrance to the cave to increase confusion. Anything but the current ending... it didn't even look good and wasn't even remotely scary or creepy. Such a shame because if this were to be remade with a better ending itd be one of the best out there.
I agree 100%. I was disappointed. I enjoyed it up until then. I guess he forgot to start at the end and work backwards. I hope my comment doesn't discourage, he's got talent. Kept me watching for what 8 minutes are so.
I though the only way out was to go into the cave to escape the loop he's stuck in, and it was another him on the other side answering the call
At first when the reply happened I was going...RUN NOW GET AWAY but he couldn't
Thanks for watching! We'll take any and all feedback. Appreciate you taking the time to write a comment.
@Quixotable no problem! Other than the ending it was great. Thanks for accepting the feedback!

@Screes Tv what IS good besides the camera quality? A guy goes in a loop by entering a tunnel... isint there million of movies with same idea? Where us the creativity?
I got lost in a forest once and it tricked me into seeing a street with parked cars just a few miles ahead, when i got here, there was nothing but more trees and forest, no signs of civilization, cars or streets, it kept showing me things that were not there until I collapsed in the floor of exhaustion then ended up in the other side of the city in someone's yard and vomiting from some sort of sickness, really wild out there be careful!
Wow. From Mild Scene to shocking twist of the story. Amazing.
In konkan part of Maharashtra, India, this phenomenon is called as Ranbhul. (Ran is jungle and bhul means lost). Person can come out of this situation only if he is lucky or someone helps him. Mostly good spirits help in such situations as our forefathers believe.
Didn't know that but it fits perfectly. Thanks for sharing!

Interesting!
Yes you are right. But in my country we say a diffarant name. I am from Sri Lanka. there are very creepy stories about this. especially when some people in my country went to find the tomb of King Rawana, many lost in the forest. it says there is a plant name "Manmula wall" which can make you lost. and then there are some Yakka spirits who really don't want people to finger their business can make people lost in the forest too. But Some good spirits like deva or naga and even some Yakka spirits too help people to find stuff and get back. but some make people lost. I remember another story. two children who went to get some fire wood suddenly disappeared in the forest. mist was everywhere. but never found. I don't know if it is true or not. But we heard this from a villager like 24 years ago in a place call Lokanthaya in sri lanka. My final thought is these days people don't belive it. but just like you said Ranbhul can happen.
In our beliefs, we need to take off our clothes and put them back in reverse. Our ancestors believe that back then most places are either woods or forest hence people were prone to getting lost. Happened to me before getting lost in the woods and tried reversing my clothes. I was able to return home as if someone led me. I thought I was only lost for about an hour but when I got home, they were looking for me for about 4 hours already. There are mountaineers and hikers who happened to get lost in the forest and were never found again despite knowing this belief. Some people say that maybe they never felt lost at all hence they never tried reversing their clothes. Some maybe have not remembered this trick at all. Some may have thought that they are just still hiking for hours but they are actually lost for weeks or even months already. We have folklore belief that people who got lost in the forest probably have found the home of mythical environmental spirits. What they see is no longer the reality of the place hence there is no way for them to go back home.
There are very similar folk beliefs all over Europe. The culprits are thought to be faeries (or pixies, goblins etc). The way to break the spell is also reversing your clothes.
When you say put your clothes back in reverse do you mean inside out or backwards or what? This is very interesting to me since lost hikers and such have actually been found by search and rescue teams wearing their clothes inside out or something.
@@Irish_Georgia_Girl It's interesting to know that despite we live in different countries with different beliefs, some of them are similar. Perhaps unexplainable beliefs could be true then or at least people are trying to do it even if they are skeptic when situation calls for it.
Pretty cool stuff, the rising action was solid..Kinda reminds me of the first episode of Dark, when the main character enters a tunnel searching for his lost brother, and falls into a time continuum or something..
I think thats the same tunnel
So happy I found this short movie. A year ago, I got a super space cake in Amsterdam and experienced exactly the same story - walking in a circle and seeing same ppl on same part of the city, doing same things. Got the weird feeling that I’m dead and my soul is circulating non stop in a circle. On top of that I didn’t know how I “die”, so that’s added and extra stress and much more intense to the space trip. The wildest experience ever in my life. Get a friend with you, if you ever do some shit like that 😂
Rule No 1 for the aspiring cave explorer: always bring a second light source.
He would have been fine if he'd brought a second kazoo.
I COMPLETELY disagree with all the other commenters. I really like the ending. I got the sense the cave glamoured him into believing he was trying to leave the woods, when really he was staring at the wall the entire time
So like he was just insane? Hmm
The tunnel looks like a rail road tunnel. You can tell the paths he is walking on, is the railroad bed. I wonder where this is.
I’m of the David Lynch school of film-making. I love that the film doesn’t resolve to something obvious; it leaves deliberate gaps so you can fill in your own ideas about what’s happening. It occurred to me that the message being left on his phone takes place later in the timeline, after he becomes stuck in the “loop” or whatever it is he experiences. I see this as a story about how we get lost in our own personalities, searching everywhere for some way to make sense of ourselves. .
It seems to me, this cave has become a superstar. It definitely deserves an Oscar.
word it does
For sure
For me, this was about the power of sound. I think the film-maker might have first asked themself, "Let's take one simple innocent sound, like maybe a childish whizzy- whistle and see how creepy we can make it." It doesn't matter what the ending is. (I see a lot of people complaining about the ending.) Any ending that gives any kind of finality is fine with me. It was about the sound itself. Now we spend hours trying to work out in our brains, what might have caused that non-echo. The acting was superb. The setting was beautiful. The music was perfect. And I was terrified.
I felt anxious just by watching, that’s my fear, I see this a lot in my dreams, it makes me feel so anxious and lost, on the edge of losing my mind. You did a great job, that was good
The ending could have been more strange and unsettling, but everything else was well done and constructed, certainly was hair-raising, an interesting concept.
Is it me or does everything hinge on coincidentally having a kazoo? Thank goodness the other guy coincidentally had a headlamp. All joking aside, well shot. Technically this looks and feels like a well directed, good budget film. Bravo.
you can't just leave the story line there!!! more, please
The best part is, I personally always go hiking in remote places all by myself. Except I never bring my phone.
Always fun to discover a new fear you never had before. 🙃
Wow wat a phrase" new fear"
what? fear of caves?
Good afternoon) Rate the short films on my new channel. Thank you very much)
I think I would have liked a different ending, but what you settled on worked well enough. Strong Blair Witch vibe, obviously. Kudos! Glad YT threw this one on my feed.
We're also glad KZhead threw it on your feed. Thanks for watching!
I agree. I wasted Amy 7minutes.
Yeah I just randomly saw this out of nowhere
I know this place. Nice to see it hasn't changed in 30+ years.
I've been here as well.
Where is this?
That left me wondering why it won any award(s).
Creepy video. Well done. I would like to see a movie.
These things on KZhead about disappearances and things like camping. I've been a life long camper, hiking and hunting/fishing these types of shows. It's made me scared of the woods in a way. Guess I better quit watching them. That book series Missing 411 show different people missing under bazaar circumstances in the trails and parks. Sometimes they are found and sometimes not. The shows/podcasts and books that are true are the freaky ones.
Man! If only that ending he didn’t end up turning into a man-eater, it would’ve been absolutely incredible. Just some long, steady shots of the first guy being totally gone, lights out, as foreshadowing for the new guy.
That’s 7 minutes and 53 seconds of my life that I can never get back.
You hope
No one twisted your arm to watch the whole thing.
Yes, the true horror 🤣
I would have liked a better ending. Apart from that this is a great short movie very well done. This topic is perfect for a full-fledged horror movie. Excellet stuff.
What "awards" did this win?
Seems like he got a small case of " Tunnel Vision " , Awesome short film, Deserved an award...
I currently am working in a script exactly like this without that ending... And i come across this short.. and i am like what??
Suspenseful short with a fun ending. Don't take things so seriously folks. It's just a movie.
That was brilliant. Never thought you could do so much with just few camera angles, and one person.
I mean when you have a good idea by all means, do it
Why is this so terrifying?!
He left his backpack...
It's not. Not even a little bit. It's boring, trite, tired, unimaginative, repetitive, frustrating, pointless, uninspired, monotonous, lifeless, tedious, insipid, flavorless, weak, and characterless. What's really terrifying is that there are people who think it's terrifying, or even good.
The tunnel scene reminds me of "The Signalman" from 1976. That was a great old horror movie
Just the casual kazoo that every hipster has with em
Brilliant suspense, Great build up and creative angles, Really enjoyed it, Felt the emotion of being lost and confused, Ending was a bit flat but on a whole very impressive.
The scene with the echos had my heart pounding, really cool how compelling and clear of a store is portrayed with how little dialogue there is. The final scene is a little strange but still got me 8.5/10
Blaire Witch similarities .
Yeah this had good suspense that made me keep watching
This would be a great big budget Sasquatch movie. They are excellent mimics. Aliens, ghosts and witches have been done to death...
Guy: *goes in a tunnel after hearing a weird noise coming from it* Me: natural selection!
In 1984, I left an outreach ministries parked van that was 9 miles away from where we were camped at Babyfoot Lake in Oregon, thinking I could make it back there again soon if I hustled. It was about an hour after dark on a recently wet, but now clear-sky, full moon evening. I was traversing the mountainside trail I had came from 2 hours earlier when all of a sudden THE STORM came in suddenly, obscuring all signs of the bright full moon and stars. Talk about dark! I now had to feel my way as I walked on the trail because I couldn't see the trail even at all. So I got the bright idea that If I touched a tree on my right as I went forward, I'd veer left a little. Same if I had encountered a tree on my left. Thankfully, most of the storm's heavy downpour had hit the mountaintop high above me. Well, I thought anyways at the time. Then I heard THE NOISE. Something was coming right at me from high up the mountain and TEARING through lots of trees to do so! I could distinctively hear trees making snapping sounds as if they'd at least been hit really hard, if not broken in two. The loud sounds were coming CLOSER and CLOSER. When the 'thing' got to around 50 feet from me, I froze and held my breath while praying that BIGFOOT wasn't going to eat me! It was HIM, I knew it. I was going to be one of his victims like we'll maybe read about. And I just knew Bigfoot could probably smell me, zero right in on my location, or maybe my fear. Or both. It was hunting me down while the rain covered it's tracks! Smart! I had enough time to think Bigfoot hunting down a defenseless human in a storm was kind of smart. But anyways... 40 feet, 30 feet, 20 feet, 10...9...8...feet and it seemed as if the 'BIGFOOT OR OTHER SCARY ITEM' was going to pass several feet in front of me instead of directly come right at me in the pitch dark that I had grown a bit more accustomed to visually. Then one last tree WHACK and CRACK and I watched a huge boulder the size of a large doghouse say "hello" and "goodbye" to me and tear down the mountain far below just about the time I recognized what it actually was. I was suddenly feeling so blessed that I was alive and all was well and good, mostly. I was then aware to be also glad I had somehow been aware that I had a bladder to consider. As that boulder was tearing trough the trees to get me, I was concentrating only on my two weak knees, and I easily might forgotten all about the liquids other than rainwater flow that were involved. PS: I liked my ending better than yours. Yours was a quick "BOO" when I was wanting thoughtful "Twilight zone".
he just needs a light at the end of the tunnel experience ! W E I R D !!!!!!
Yeah, agree with the other folks re: The Ending. But the concept was good. I've seen some other tunnel pieces like this, and other cabin/horror that is similar where people come back to the same spot. But I still think it was well executed here as well. I almost think it could have ended with the second guy just entering and letting it fade to black as his torso filled the cave opening behind him. Like "another victim of the cave".
The short movie version of a twix. Nice with a cup of tea & a wee laugh at the end. Light entertainment.
They give this an award 🤣🤣🤣
Would of been cool if he was a really old man in a red flannel shirt breathing his last into a purple kazoo…
Yes!
That's actually a really good idea.
THE KAZOO GOT ME 🤣
Wow, he must’ve been the only person to enter the contest for that award.
Maybe the other 270 videos with the same title and plot so they drew names out of a hat for the winner! 🤣
This is spectacular.
Very well done!! I could see this as a full length film!! Look forward to more!
We could also see this as a feature length film. Thanks for watching!
i saw this scene myself,,,in real life,,,,i go out after 3 days,,but my friend lost in cave as this
I would love to see a full film of this
you really want another hour of him trying to find his way out of the woods?
@@japanbeta well I mean the entire thing wouldn’t be about that but it would be a concept in it
Which award did that win? Why did he have a kazoo? Why did he drop his backpack? Why was his face bleeding? Why was this done at all?
Why didn't he call someone?
Grave encounters goes wild
I think when he got lost, the sound of Tunnl's whistle made him tremble as he picked up his own whistle and blew it. Suddenly, he seemed to understand something, filled with despair. And then the end of the play.
Ending disappoints
Scary, real horror! I love it, a masterpiece up till the ending.
Missed opportunity for the perfect comedy. After all the Kazooing, The hiker pulls a gun and confidently walks inside the tunnel. Screen cuts to black while you hear a single gunshot. Credits roll.
Seen same concept in an old movie too still like it
This was really great and enjoyable to watch! Excellent work!
Captivating and engaging . So cool what you did here
I surfed and this film popped up. I had to look twice because that's my back yard. Many keg party's at Steeprock in the 70's. Walked through that train tunnel in June 1975 and the walls were still Ice. The rail line went to Roxbury station. Pretty Cool Stuff. Watch out for Bears.
I thought the second guy was going to find the first guy standing in the corner ... oh, wait, wrong movie.
Reminds me of the web series DARK
Really enjoyed this-nice and twisted Thankyou
I appreciate that it has an ending. Most people who make short films are too lazy to give it any ending at all. The rest of the video, however, is almost exactly the same as every other video of the same title.
common sense why would you enter a scary weird tunnel making a scary reflection sound alone 😂
I really enjoyed this. Well done!
