A weary businessman fights to survive a terrifying, otherworldly creature that can only be seen in the darkness of the tunnels of a late-night Toronto subway train.

SYNOPSIS:

A late-night subway ride becomes a fight for survival in Tunnel, a chilling horror short.

A weary Businessman, desperate to get home to his young daughter, boards a nearly empty train. Exhausted and distracted by guilt over missing bedtime, he barely notices the lone passenger at the far end of the car—a shadowy figure in a trench coat.

As the train plunges into a tunnel, the lights flicker. In the strobe-like darkness, the figure begins to move—unnaturally fast, limbs twisting, face contorting into something inhuman. The Businessman’s unease turns to terror as the creature attacks, its grotesque form shifting and writhing in the sporadic light. Armed only with an emergency hammer, he fights back, each swing more desperate than the last.

The creature is relentless—tentacles lash out, dragging him across the car, its gaping maw hidden beneath layers of slimy skin. Visions of his daughter’s smiling face fuel his will to survive as he battles the monstrosity, narrowly escaping into the next car.

The train emerges into the light, the creature gone. Bloodied and shaken, the Businessman stumbles off at the next station, vowing to return to his daughter. But as the train disappears into the tunnel, a new group of passengers boards—unaware of the horror waiting in the shadows.

Tunnel is a pulse-pounding descent into primal fear, where the darkness holds more than just the unknown—it holds a nightmare.
