Tricia's husband has been missing for seven years. Her younger sister Callie comes to live with her as the pressure mounts to finally declare him 'dead in absentia'. Tricia is reluctant, always holding out hope, but Callie is practical and wants her to move on. As Tricia sifts through the wreckage and tries to move on with her life, Callie finds herself drawn to an ominous tunnel near the house.

    Good movie, really creepy. I'm stunned at the ending they gave us. I don't know if I will ever sleep again. LoL

    Not as good as occulus, but really close. The movie is very slow, but it is so well made that the intensity never really lets go. You always keep wondering what is going to happen next. The story does have some logic flaws, but because of how interesting everything is, it doesn't really get distracting.

    Very strange, very unique movie. Interesting ideas that they never fully flesh out so they leave you to fill things in with your imagination (which some people hate, others will love). Definitely worth a watch.

    Loved the concept and thought it was well done for an early work of Mike Flanigan

    A lot of potential and a lot of build-up for... so much nothing. The pacing was all over the place (don't get me started on the classic internet-research exposition scene), and, while these kinds of movies are supposed to thrive on keeping as much unknown as possible, this left out too many details. I feel like 15-30 more minutes of movie could've filled in the gaps a little more; as it is, it feels rushed and empty.
