DeeEll1 Honestly, I'm not sure why anyone gave this movie any sort of positive review. The only reason I've given it more than 1 star was for the acting of the actor who plays "Ev" (curly hair). Not even going to bother looking up his name. Okay, this movie is REALLY not good, you guys. It COULD have been good, but the story had far too many unexplained nonsense going on. One reviewer suggested that we DO learn about what the Corridor really is... yeah, no. No, you don't. And you'll want to prove me wrong by finding the lines in the movie--and by quoting them directly--that actually explain what's really going on. Oh, wait, there aren't any. They SUGGEST some garbage that never really makes sense, and there is literally NO NO NO upshot to any of this. I can't imagine why anyone would suggest that this movie is "mind blowing" or otherwise makes you think--no, sorry, it does not. It forced me to wrack my brain to figure out what the crap was going on (and not in the good way), but otherwise... it had no insights into human existence, mental disease, friendship, loneliness, meaningless, etc. If you think this movie was "mind blowing, whoa, man!!!!" then you're clearly uneducated. You probably also think that The Matrix is life-altering--and you've clearly never taken a basic Philosophy 101 class in college either. Seriously, there are a MILLION other b-horror flicks to watch that are actually "diamonds in the rough," hidden gems worth your time. Oh my god, this is NOT one of them. So angry with you positive reviewers; you need to stop reviewing things IMMEDIATELY.
Nash Knight 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.
Matt Kracht 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. For one thing, the score is really rather low (4.5 or so) and the majority of comments are negative. And, yet, there's a long string of reviews calling it awesome, voted as being extremely helpful. It's basically a slow-paced pastiche of Stephen King stories. I don't understand how anyone could call this fresh, different, or original, if they've ever read a single Stephen King book. It strongly reminded me of Dreamcatcher and Tommyknockers, but there's elements of others, as well.There are many things wrong with this movie, but the biggest is that it's boring for the first half. When it starts getting more interesting, it's derivative. Its like they randomly threw in plot elements of all their favorite Stephen King novels, without any real attempt at cohesion or making sense. Some of the scenes did work, but many of them just annoyed me. The characters were generally unlikable and annoying, which just made the whole experience that much worse.I guess you might like this movie if you're big into low budget, Canadian horror movies. I usually am, but this one really didn't do much for me.
DataDream This is hands down one of the most inventive, creative and disturbing films I have seen in a very long time. It is in the same instant beautiful and repulsive. This film is an indescribable masterpiece -and I don't say that lightly.Don't miss out on this one if you are a Horror, Thriller or SciFi fan.It is truly rare these days to find a film that encompasses completely original ideas, so when a film such as The Corridor comes along it is a true surprise and refreshing blessing.All I can say to the Cast and Crew is...Thank You for something truly original!
