Short summary

Cold, Dark, Damp. Deep in the depths of a disused Victorian tunnel network something is waiting, desperate, alone. James (James Kenneth Davenport) and Harry (Johnny Ostle) are exploring an old Victorian Tunnel network under their city that was used as an air raid bunker during the war. Harry is convinced that they are being followed; James is more focused on going further into the tunnels to notice. Despite Harry's protests they continue, ever deeper into the darkness.

During production James Kenneth Davenport actually played the role of "Charles" the monster's hand in one scene.

During production the oxygen levels in the tunnel dropped so low at times to 18% that the crew and actors started to become paranoid and see and hear things that didn't exist.

The tunnel location has apparently been investigated by a paranormal investigation society who picked up "interesting" readings. They picked up an underground mist on photos that wasn't always visible to the naked eye. A chilling phenomena that the crew encountered also.

    I absolutely loved the location work in Outsiders, it had was a really interesting urban explorer vibe to it. I watched this first time on a cinema screen and the sound scape and score just blew me away.

    There are a few holes in this short film but I think the interesting take on the generic elements of the horror genre is brilliant. For once we see men being tormented and chased as opposed to the tired concept of screaming women.

    Its one of them films were you watch it and are blown away by the incredible sound mix and the location that you are presented with that you don't really pay much attention to exactly what is being told. On second viewing I picked up a lot more interesting hints towards the characters and the story and really understood the meaning behind the film. It really isn't as you would expect.

    I think these filmmakers have a very bright future ahead of them, and I expect to see some brilliant results on their next project.
