Absentia (2011)

Absentia

Tricia had been alone for 7 years since her husband Daniel disappeared. with the pressure accumulating for years, Tricia finally decided to declare Daniel dead. Tricia went through Daniel's stuff, trying to move on with her life, but it was then that she started seeing frightening shadows of Daniel. her younger sister Callie who happened to come to live with her during these moments, were attracted to an ominous tunnel near the neighborhood. she started seeing missing persons that appeared years after they were gone, badly abused and emotionally distorted.

with little horror presented, the film was very successful suspense wise. the tension and claustrophobic atmosphere were perfectly delivered, giving us the pressure just by watching it. at first glance it seemed like some serial killer's doing, however as the focus slowly transferred to the tunnel, it got a little alien like, which was a far more alluring idea.
