They Got TRAPPED In The Middle Of The TUNNEL 😱

Holding your breath through a tunnel is a car-ride game. Rako gives it a sinister rule: breathe in, and something waiting in the darkness takes your place.

The fictional 3D animated Short, "They Got TRAPPED In The Middle Of The TUNNEL 😱", strands a family when their car breaks down underground. Lights extinguish one by one, a countdown appears, and a many-limbed creature lands on the roof. Its nastiest trick isn't its size: a face exactly like younger brother Max's appears at his window, waiting for him to breathe.

The clip collected roughly 3.5 million views since yesterday. Several commenters remember holding their breath through tunnels with their siblings; others follow the premise to its practical problem: what happens if there's traffic? Their proposed solution is considerably simpler than the family's escape attempt: close the tunnel.
