Death Tunnel follows five sexy college girls as they tempt death by spending the night in an abandoned sanatorium, as a college sorority initiation.

In Death Tunnel, five beautiful girls find themselves trapped in the terror of a sorority initiation prank gone-awry when they spend the night in the infamous sanatorium and uncover the structure’s gruesome history and five unrelenting ghosts.
