In light of As Above, So Below, the paris catacomb horror movie coming out this summer, I thought it would be rad to get a list of other explorer themed movies going.
Urban Explorer aka The Depraved is a German horror flick where the plot revolves around a group of youngsters exploring under Berlin. When one of them is injured, they come across a creepy guy who has set up a home in the tunnels and SHIT GETS REAL.
This is pretty much a poor man's Wolf Creek in a tunnel. I enjoyed it, but I also enjoyed Chernobyl Diaries and . My tolerance for mediocre horror is quite high.
The Tunnel is an Australian flick about a journalist investigating water supply pollution in storm drains under Sydney. All of a sudden: Monsters! Not amazing, but diverting enough.
The Innkeepers is the story of two employees winding down the clock on their last ever shift at a soon to be mothballed, semi abandoned hotel. Not exactly urbex themed, but you'll wish you could have a snoop around the place, and it's probs the best of the three movies I've mentioned.
Trespass 1992. Two AR firefighters get a lead on treasure/stolen loot hidden in an abandoned east STL building. For anyone who imagines treasure hunting in an abandonment.....
“You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.”
Still bored, Notquitehuman? This music video may not be a film, but it is short and quick. Plus, it's related to abandonments, I think. The music is also catchy:
Posted by BackSeatKiller I caught the last 30 min or so of a movie called, "Catacombs". I guess people are partying in Paris's catacombs and a girl gets lost. Anyone seen it?
I've seen it. It's not bad and it stars P!nk of all people.

Holy S., must be based on the true story we know about here in the forums. One of our members even posted a photo of the girls desiccated remains. I believe it was in Russia somewhere.
this thread appears in one form or another every so often and I always mention this hard-to-find film called "Wavelength" from 1983. It starred Bobby Carradine, Cherie Currie, and Keenan Wynn. The soundtrack was fantastic having been composed by Tangerine Dream. This is one of those rare, low-budget films that was greater than it's parts and didn't ham it up by camping OR taking itself too seriously. Where does the exploration part of it come into it? hehehe... i'll post the link here and let you figure it out. Running time is right around 90 minutes. One last thing, this film was never issued on DVD, so finding a copy is pretty much VHS only. Personally, i taped this film off of my grandparents' Cinemax in early 1984 and still have the tape despite it being almost unwatchable.
Pretty much any movie with a "post apocalyptic" setting fits the bill, for me.
that movies was incredibly depressing. I read the book several years before the film was made and to be honest, the ending felt like McCarthy said, 'meh, i'm bored. fuck it.' and ended it. Very unsatisfactory third act.
