Anybody seen the canal?

The Canal is a 2014 Irish horror film that was directed and written by Ivan Kavanagh. The film had its world premiere on April 18, 2014 at the Tribeca Film Festival, and stars Rupert Evans as a father investigating a horrific murder that took place in his home in the early 1900s.

Film archivist David (Rupert Evans) has been having a rough time lately, as he suspects that his wife Alice (Hannah Hoekstra) has been cheating on him with Alex (Carl Shaaban), one of her work clients. This stress is compounded when David's work partner Claire (Antonia Campbell-Hughes) gives him a reel of to-be-archived footage that shows that his house was the setting for a brutal murder in 1902. Becoming progressively more unsettled and unhinged, David begins to believe that a spectral presence is in his house and ends up following his wife to a nearby canal, where he discovers that she is indeed having an affair with Alex. When Alice goes missing shortly afterwards, David contacts the police- only to become the prime suspect in her disappearance. As the police grow more convinced that David has murdered his wife, he struggles to find proof of his growing suspicion that something otherworldly was instead responsible.

It's a decent flick. The acting isn't bad and the story isn't too predictable. 6.5/10

I only saw the first half hour or so, but i kind of agree. while i still enjoyed it, it wasnt creepy like the first and looked alot more professional as opposed to the grittiness of the original.

Yea Zombie co-opted; they gave him more money if he made it like the new "torture porn" genre shyt that was hot then. Devils Rejects is garbage. Its just mean-spirited and no fun to sit through. They took the funny ass Captain Spaulding and made him lame with no jokes...shyt was a chore to sit through..

Glad this thread is upped..I been watching tons of classics/terrible horror movies and posting in "what have you watched" thread...I'll post here instead...

Today: Street Trash 1987-One of the most glorious B movies ever made...Seriously, if you like cheesy, ridiculous, batshyt crazy horror movies, you will love Street Trash; Blu Ray edition is great. Highlights include: the fake ass Italian mobster, the hobo-centered world where everyone is suffering from a bad type of PTSD, the fat b*stard and the dead girl :damn:and of course, the infamous dikk toss scene :deadrose:
