Tricia's husband Daniel 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.' 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. As she begins to link it to other mysterious disappearances, it becomes clear that Daniel's presumed death might be anything but 'natural.' The ancient force at work in the tunnel might have set its sights on Callie and Tricia—and Daniel might be suffering a fate far worse than death in its grasp.

Good horror film, well acted with a few decent scares.

Early look at Flanagan's potential here, very effective given the small budget

Manages to be scary without ever showing you the monster. You will have questions at the end of the movie, and that's the point.

The low budget makes it feel like a documentary making it scarier to watch Well acted too

Early evidence that Mike Flanagan was going to knock it out of the park someday. Suspenseful and engaging.

Flanagan’s low-budget thriller, it’s not a great film but if you are a fan of his work you will like it!

Could stand to lose 10-15 minutes but overall not bad as there are some genuinely creepy moments

I love the plot, every creepy. I also love the writing. Kinda slow, but worth a watch.

Pretty slow and leaves a lot of ambiguity, which isn’t always bad but I did want to know more.

It was an alright movie. It don't make a whole lot of sense.
