everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Absolutely Fantastic
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
The film opens with a ransacked home. Tyler(Stephen Chambers) has a knife and a cut on his cheek. His mother is lying dead in the hallway. Tyler hallucinates, hears voices, and sees images in the fuzz on the TV screen. His friends, who rescue him get attacked in the process.After some time has passed and the credits (accompanied by folk music to give us that homey feel), Tyler and his 4 friends spend some time at a snowy A frame in the woods. The movie moves slow as we hear the mundane conversations used to establish character. Tyler is still struggling but is functional with medication being recently released from a mental health hospital. The guys drink, ride snowmobiles, watch recorded football games as Tyler scatters his mother's ashes.Evan (James Gilbert) likes to smoke and drink. He is bored with the events and is the group's mild antagonist. Tyler has discovered a "corridor" and brings along the guys to verify its existence. The "corridor" looks fluid and it blocks out the weather. The snowmobile doesn't work in it and Tyler must be there for the corridor to appear. The fearless men decide they want to explore.The movie now shifts into weird as clues are dropped as to the nature of the corridor. The film was low budget, but effective. Perhaps it should be categorized as a sci-fi horror thriller, depending on how one views the corridor. The characters could have been written better to make the filler time more interesting. But it is Canadian. If you liked this one, check out "Yellow Brick Road."F-bomb, brief sex, blood, violence, no nudity
Well, definitely liked the way that this movie started out. It had a bit of mystery with a kid psyching out, and with the illusion of a possible crime being committed. But, the film had a lot of slow moments to it, especially right after the first five minutes. It dragged a bit to long at times, and it bored me quickly. Once all of the friends got together out in the country, I felt like the characters were disjointed and acted more like they just met, rather than supposedly being best friends since high school. Fast forward to about the last 30 minutes of the film. This is where it just seemed a bit odd to me, and I didn't particularly like that portion of it. I felt that I knew where they were trying to go with it, but to me, it didn't quite get there. I could definitely identify with the "crazy" character, but again, what was reality and what wasn't? I don't know if parts of the film was supposed to be some sort of reconciliation, or was it mere punishment. I didn't hate the movie, but I didn't quite like it either.
I thought this was a very good movie. Even though the story didn't have a lot of obvious explanations for everything, the effect outweighed the remaining questions I had with the film. It was actually quite believable even though it wasn't that "believeable" if you know what I mean. I think if it was a little longer the corridor may have been better explained and the other scenes would have perhaps knit in better. The extreme violence with the characters was not at all predictable or understandable. This seems to fit with the "crazy" theme the movie was looking for. I believe there is a lot of sub-standard horror stuff out there, even on Netflix, but this one was a very good horror movie.
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.Let's face it, the typical horror-viewing public is a bunch of numbskulls and teenagers who just want to be entertained with some blood-spurting, well-known monster clichés and an occasional boob flash. Take that away from them and they're lost. "THIS ISN'T THAT ONE THING I KNOW! IT'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND I HATE IT!" is a common reaction, and ironically it demonstrates xenophobia pretty well. The part about 5 childhood friends who have grown up into fully grown individuals and realized not only that they have little in common, but that most of them are losers and assholes makes people uneasy even more.The whole film makes the common man uneasy and an inquisitive man excited, and I loved it for that.It deserves a 7 because of it's obviously very limited budget but I gave it an encouraging 8.
