Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Marc Singer's feted 2000 doc about a Manhattan subterranean community has lost none of its power since its debut.
Fresh: This is the world discovered and illuminated by gonzo documentarian Marc Singer, who spent a good part of two years living with and chronicling the lives of a half-dozen tunnel dwellers for his remarkable first film, Dark Days
Fresh: Moving and memorable.
Fresh: A fascinating, beautifully photographed portrait of a vanished community: a group of homeless people who built a shanty town in the train tunnels beneath Penn Station.
Customer Reviews
Outstanding isn't a strong enough word for this film…try epic instead.
This has been one of my favorite films ever since it's release many years ago…very glad to see it up on iTunes!
I'd be pretty shocked if anyone who watches this film doesn't walk away experiencing some level of awe. It's unlike anything else.
The portraits and stories of the people who inhabited this subterranean world are so uniquely fascinating and moving and are 100% honored through the documentary process.
There is a rhythm of charged discovery throughout the film that makes it almost impossible to lose interest or feel manipulated by the filmmakers agenda. Instead, you feel inspired, mind-blown and utterly riveted. You come away in possession of a lost gem of hidden history.
Please do yourself a favor and watch this film!
