Review of The Canal (2014) by Spangle — 06 Dec 2015
The Canal is a super twisted horror film, but is honestly just not that scary. It has a good premise and it executes it well. It manages to be both deeply unsettling and partially scary at times, but really never follows through and elevates itself from being just a pretty good film and decent horror.
It is incredibly well made and has all of the elements to be truly horrifying, but for some reason, it just did not terrify me as it should, though it certainly is creepy. In saying this, the ending and pay-off is fantastic and deeply twisted to the point that it leaves you in shock.
However, the proceeding hour and a half do not create the necessary tension consistently enough for the film as a whole to be more than alright as a whole. In saying this, it is certainly worth a watch and is very much entertaining, but it certainly pulls no punches and the ending is mostly predictable.
