Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

WisdomsHammer If you're into low budget, independent, amateur productions and want to see something that sort of tries to be the Blair Witch in dark tunnels instead of the forest, you *might* like this.The acting is okay, the score is okay, the sound is terrible, the lighting is almost non-existent and the cam is often shaky and blurry.I kept watching hoping the pace would pick up and that the payoff would be worth it. I was disappointed. I kept asking myself, "Why am I watching this?" with no good reason. I walked away from it a couple times and came back to the same scene still playing. This might actually be a decent short film with some competent editing.The "twist" ending left me disappointed as well. My reaction was, "That's it? That's the big twist ending?" Groan.If you like B-movies, as I do, I wouldn't call this one. There is nothing in here that makes even bad B-movies enjoyable.I think the talent in this production shows and they could potentially do something really good. This just wasn't it.

oohlalacaramel I'm sorry, but this movie is complete garbage. I was told to watch this film after I had watched "The Tunnel." The only thing connecting the two films was the tunnels underneath the subways. The acting isn't natural, too much about it is forced by the actors. The character of Susan made me want to pull my hair out; she had absolutely no concern for anyone but herself, which made her completely unlikable. The character of Tom was extremely whiny and had zero common sense. There were a couple scenes where I actually face-palmed, because the characters were THAT dumb.There were no scares in this movie. I went into it with an open mind, but I now wish I hadn't wasted my time watching it. The claustrophobic nature of the film worked well, because the characters were running wild in the dark unknown. Other than this, there is no saving grace about the movie. I am a horror fanatic, but this one will not be memorable. Please pass on this movie if you're looking for a good scare, because the acting and the script will make you end up regretting it.

maninwhite I had the privilege of seeing this movie at the NODANCE FIlm Festival a couple of years ago, and I really didn't have any high expectations for the film at the time. However, after seeing the film, I felt as though my eyes had been reopened to the possibilities of a genre that has fallen through the cracks in the last decade. Many people have already summarized the content of the film, but a brief synopsis is in order. "Mole" is the tale of a secretive and, nearly forgotten, underground society of homeless people. An advantageous reporter takes to the tunnels under New York to try and find a story on the myth, and winds up finding a sub-culture that is as intolerant of outsiders as the the society it has left behind. The film itself has an apparent lack of budget, but this only adds to it's naturalistic charm. Much like "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" or "The Blair Witch Project" before it, the film only benefits from the guerrilla style production. The grain on the film makes you feel like you are actually watching a documentary instead of a fictional account. The tunnels are seemingly endless and constricting, due to the adept camera work which lends a claustrophobic feeling to the film. A very real sense of doom spreads upon you as you watch this film, which is both equally disturbing and refreshing given today's standard of horror and suspense films. If you're in the mood to squirm, I highly recommend this movie.

with1land2ts For a small independent thriller this movie really delivers. The filmmakers actually shot most of it underneath New York City and it looks great. I can't even imagine how a studio would try to tackle this story. They would probably have to reconstruct the entire tunnel system underneath the city in some warehouse but this picture is the `real deal' as far as authentic locations and I think that is what struck me as so cool when watching.The basic premise involves a reporter named Susan Pei (played by Sam Tsao). She's trying to earn more on screen time and better assignments, and the discovery of several bodies in an abandoned subway tunnel seems to be the springboard she's looking for. She gets a cameraman named Nick (John-Luke Montias) and a guy who claims to be an expert guide, Tom (James Cox), and she heads into the abandoned tunnels to find a story. She finds a story but soon fiction mixes in with reality as they discover more than they bargained for and find themselves struggling to survive against an unknown tunnel dweller.This movie gradually evolves into a potent, creepy concept, and even though I can't imagine how they did some of the shooting of this film on subway tracks, the filmmakers actually managed to create something fairly stylish and moody by really pushing the extremes of light and shadow. It's a must see for any underground enthusiast and a nice twist at the end makes it a picture worth watching There is more than `scares' coming out of `Mole' but a moral theme I think works at its darkest level. This movie is a great example of independent filmmaking and despite its limitations as a low budget movie it surfaces as quite a movie because of its imaginative style and content.
