There was one in Body Double (1984) and I think some other movie I saw used this same one. No surprise that weird stuff tends to happen in these quasi caves.
This is one of those low budget horror movies that, for all it's amateurish faults, is ten times more interesting than a slick, colorless netflix instant (well okay, they're all instant now) offering. A woman's husband goes missing and her ex-junkie sister comes to live with her and help her move on. She's doing pretty good, practicing meditation to come down and even manages to get knocked up. It wouldn't be much of a story though if her life were to persist in this manner, so some more dark and dramatic stuff happens.
Absentia taps in to the "horror as possible metaphor for something else" thing and does it well. Mental Illness? drug abuse? Who even knows. I'd like to think that whoever wrote this looked at the tunnel thing and was like "there is something weird and not quite right about that" and the story progressed from there, but that's probably not what happened at all.
4.5 /5
also the cover is one of those ones like from that thread
I remember watching this when it came out - I rented it at Hastings, in fact, when we still had a Hastings and renting movies was still a thing. I thought it was a great low budget psychological horror.

Nowhere to Hide (2021) / Bianzhong kuang xi(2021)
https://youtu.be/udV93L7B7Q8?si=Gj3T-HhSUOy0fL4c
Somewhere in China, a pair of poacher catch, well, something.... On his way to deliver the goods, one of the poachers hears a news story over the radio about an escaped lab animal... He arrives at a hotel where a pair of bumbling exterminators fog for rats, thus clearing out all of the guests, only to learn they're at the wrong hotel...
Meanwhile, the poacher delivers the ferret like creature to a buyer, only to discover it's turned into a baby dragon that can turn invisible... It turns out, the buyer runs parties for gangsters who like to eat exotic endangered animals....
The dragon escapes & starts eating the party goers....
A comedy from China, most of the jokes are sub-par to a Little Rascals movie....
Still, it's able to get a few giggles outa me....
In Mandarin with English subtitles...

Can agree. I feel of the six movies so far, part 4 was the worst, but it wasn'tbad either. Part 7 he's bacj, not alive, but apparently the killers are making use of AI and modern technology to screw with the new victims and Neve Campbell and Courtney Cox.
It's my favorite horror series overall.
