Though I've been hearing rumblings of Evan Kelly's The Corridor for some time now there has been precious little to judge the Canadian mind-bender on. The official website has been - and remains - sparse, but the eagle eyed Captain Awesome has just come across a trailer on YouTube that entirely delivers on the promise of what I'd heard earlier. Here's the official synopsis:
You know that old saying that we only use a tenth of our brain power? Well Kelly here takes that idea and says what happens if we open up the rest? Awesome, right? Well, only if we assume people are all goodness and light. Then it would be awesome. But if we're kind of assholes? Or a bit neurotic? Or insecure? Or harboring hidden anger? And we amplify that up by a factor of ten? Well then the results may not be so pretty ... check the trailer below.The Corridor is a horror-thriller about male-bonding and miscommunication -- The Big Chill slammed into The Evil Dead.
Tyler Crawley needs his friends, now more than ever. Recovering from mental stress in the wake of his mom's death, Tyler has been counting on a weekend with the guys to bring him back to normal. For Tyler's sake his old buddies rally themselves, though the "glue" which keeps them together has weakened with the passing of recent years -- a natural enough occurrence.
But with the introduction of a single unnatural occurance -- the corridor itself -- the knots in these male bonds will come loose with a terrifying speed. Both a fantastical passageway to somewhere and a passageway into the mind of the male animal, the corridor will lead Tyler and his friends to the very edge of sanity and beyond...
The Corridor is a grown-up character piece which also delivers the ferocious genre goods.
