Plot
College students Raz, Charlie and Jess are about to start work on their end of year Media Studies project... unaware of a malevolent force lurking deep below their sleepy town. A recent wave of apparent Cyberbullying and the disappearance of two local girls lead the group to an abandoned army barracks situated deep in the forests that surround the college. What they find there is a terrifying labyrinth of tunnels from which there seems no escape... and a dark figure hell bent on tormenting them. Hunted, frightened and lost, Raz, Charlie and Jess must now escape the barracks or suffer the unspeakable fate that awaits them.

Reception
Paul Mount of Starburst rated it 7/10 stars and called it a "a brisk, no-nonsense effort" that puts an English spin on found footage. Mount concludes that the film is "a cut above the rest", partially thanks to its twist ending. Matt Boiselle of Dread Central rated it 2/5 stars and wrote that it is simplistic and boring, though he said it has several creepy scenes in the middle. Nicholas Olsen of HorrorNews.Net called it "an effective horror film" that makes the most of its locations.
