This is a British found footage film and, as such, is similar to the template set out by the phenomenally successful 'Blair Witch Project'.
The three characters take time to like. Raz (Parry Glasspool), the sole male, is a cocky, good looking lad who will say inappropriate things for 'a laugh'; Lucy-Jane Quinlan plays Charlie, who spends most of the first half of the film frowning at Raz's antics, and Lydia Orange plays Jess, possibly the 'nicest' of the trio - while their very patient teacher Mark is played by TJ Herbert. He is openly ridiculed by Raz, particularly for his 'four stripe' trainers - a detail that is worth remembering during the closing shots.
It takes too long to get going, but during that time, I warmed to the three youngsters. Raz is a bit of a twit, no question, but he's often genuinely funny, if foolhardy.
The third act is where the scares finally come along, with the kind of stumbling confusion and terror synonymous with the found footage genre. The descent into dark, isolated tunnels is creepy and unsettling, and the final scene serves us with a good twist.
