    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

    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
  • 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.
  • 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?
  • Jump scares are unimaginative and uninspired. The end scene ruined what could have been a satisfying short film.

    This took the prestigious ā€œIā€™ve seen this somewhere beforeā€ award.
  • 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 couldnā€™t get out of until someone else came along

    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.

    It was okay until the ending scene. It went downtunnel at there. 2/10.

    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

    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....
  • 2:40 NO way am I going near that tunnel. At first spontaneous sound.....I'd be running & saying The Lord's Prayer! :)
  • 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 isnā€™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.

    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 :(
  • 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!
  • 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 will avoid tunnels. Really beautiful scenery and loved the piano šŸŽ¼ music šŸŽ¶

    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!
