Death Tunnel

What is it with movies that don't have a physical villain to beat?  With no giant digital snake or gator to blow up, it is like the people who come up with the story lines can't figure out how to end the movie.  Even when the characters figure out the reason behind all of the silliness, it still doesn't make any sense.

The basic plot of this movie is to have a party where five college girls are abducted and brought to an abandoned hospital.  They are monitored by closed circuit television and, I don't know, have to figure a way out or something.  Five girls, five floors, five hours.  The survivors get to go to a party or something.  I have to admit, the prize didn't exactly fit the abduction.

The girls see some of the ghosts haunting the hallways of the facility, which freaks them out.  And rightly so.  But, some of the girls also take on the persona of the dead from the facility.  It's all very odd.  After a while, I was hoping that the ghost man with the mask would take them all out.

Gore is at a minimum.  No violence to speak of either.  One scene with a girl stabbing another girl with a shard of glass does not count.  Especially since the stabbing was fast forwarded so that the stabbing girl would not realize who she was stabbing.

Freaked out level was at 6 out of 10.  But after a while, the freak level drops to 1.  Nothing to redeeming about this film for me.  At some point of the ending, the girl who makes it through the five hours wants to save the thousands of souls that were transported through the Death Tunnel.  No idea how she is supposed to save them, but she wants to somehow save their souls.  And then the movie ends.  Thankfully.

At the beginning of this movie, there is a note that this movie is based on true events.  I can't even begin to think what would be the truth to the story.  Other than it sucked.

I give this movie 0 out of 5 buckets of orange goop.
