About John Russell

John Russell is the pen name of a screenwriter with nearly 20 years of professional experience. He wrote Wallflowers under a pen name for the simple fact that he wants to continue writing screenplays. "Hollywood" has a way of unofficially disowning those who write books that provide professional advice to novices. Not a good enough reason? Okay, think hard about your favorite "book-writing-screenplay-experts" and all the movies they've had hit the theaters in recent years. Go ahead and check IMDB. Couldn't find too many, could you? Now you know why John uses a pseudonym

"the Tunnel" Movie Premieres At Screamfest La Saturday October 15, 2011

Blackrock Films announced today that their Australian independent Horror / suspense movie “The Tunnel” will be having its American premier Saturday October 15 at Screamfest LA.

StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-Sep 15, 2011 - Blackrock Films, along with Distracted Media, Zapruders Other Films and DLSHS are pleased to announce the Horror–Suspense movie, “THE TUNNEL” has been an official selection of SCREAMFEST LA 2011, and will have it’s USA PREMIER at the 2011 Screamfest Los Angeles festival October 15 (more info www.screamfestla.com).


The Tunnel directed by Filipino-Australian director, Carlo Ledesma, and produced/written by Enzo Tedeschi and Julian Harvey, is a first rate suspense horror flick.

Blackrock Films, VP Peter Rogier made the announcement today.   “I cant wait for American audiences to sink their teeth into this scary little gem of a movie,  Screamfest LA is the perfect venue for "The Tunnel" to have its American Premiere.

ROLLING STONE says – “The Tunnel is a cunningly crafted exercise in suspense!”

THE TUNNEL is a Suspense-horror film at its finest.

An investigation into a government cover-up leads to a network of abandoned train tunnels deep beneath the heart of Sydney. As a journalist and her crew hunt for the story it quickly becomes clear the story is hunting them.

In 2007 the New South Wales government suddenly scrapped a plan to utilize the water in the disused underground train tunnels beneath Sydney’s St James Train Station.

In 2008, chasing rumors of a government cover-up and urban legends surrounding the sudden back flip, investigative journalist Natasha Warner led a crew of four into the underground labyrinth.

This is the film of their harrowing ordeal. With unprecedented access to the recently declassified tapes they shot in the claustrophobic subway tunnels, as well as a series of candid interviews with the survivors, we come face to face with the terrifying truth.

This never before seen footage takes us deep inside the tunnels bringing the darkness to life and capturing the raw fear that threatens to tear the crew apart, leaving each one of them fighting for their lives.

THE TUNNEL was praised for its suspenseful story telling:

“A skilful web of claustrophobia and dread” – EMPIRE/

“Unnerving and chilling” – URBAN CINEFILE

“WINNER BEST DIRECTOR” - A Night of Horror International Film Festival 2011
