Down the Drain: The Missed Opportunities of Manhole
The cat and mouse game between a serial killer and his prey is nothing new in the horror and thriller genre. This film offers an creative take on this common trope; using the sewers as a lair and the manholes as a means for the killer to snatch his victims. Creating horror out of something most people walk by everyday is an effective way to capture the viewer's attention and plant a seed of uneasiness from the start.
This initial tension lingers throughout the story as suspense is continuously built through the claustrophobic feeling induced by the underground setting and deadly pursuit through what feels like an endless labyrinth.
Despite an intriguing premise and thrilling chase sequences, Manhole's narrative is ultimately unsatisfying due to several unresolved plot points that leave the viewer with more questions than answers.
Overall: 2.5/5
Quality: 2/5
Enjoyment: 3/5
