The Corridor

First of all, "The Corridor" is a fantastic movie. It intertwines a Lovecraftian horror, a fear of an unfathomable alien entity and an analysis of the psyche of a common man, which actually scares the fore-mentioned even more.

First off, once I realized the opening music was by the Great Lake Swimmers, I realized I was watching a Canadian flick and very keen. Overall I was not disappointed.

I'll be brief on this one... first 20 minutes is 15 minutes too long the rest of the film although not original was well put together and watchable up until the last 15 minutes where the plot got too far fetched and clumsy and surreal for the sake of being too clever for it's own good.

Five young men (not teenagers) get together for a retreat in the woods. It's in snow country, and there is a lot of snow.

The plot: A group of friends come upon a mysterious corridor in the woods that has strange effects on them.I don't understand why The Corridor has so many rave reviews.

A group of high school friends reunite years later for a weekend of partying and catching up on old times. Isolated deep in the snow covered forest, they stumble upon a mysterious corridor of light.

What would happen if the switch that keeps us from bludgeoning the next passerby we encounter on the street was turned off and we reverted to a more feral existence albeit still convinced we were of a rational mind? In Evan Kelly's The Corridor, 5 friends encounter an entity, a something?

The Good: With the exception of one actor, the acting was generally believable. The cinematography was decent overall.

This movie was amazing. I thought all the actors gave very strong performances.
