taylor-c-p-olson The Corridor is a great film. The main elements that stand out are the writing/relationships, the main concept of the corridor and the acting. It doesn't feel like most grind-em-up horror films. It is thoughtful, and written so well that it feels like a well constructed dramatic story told through the eyes of the horror genre, and the result is that it is truly frightening. Trolls who don't like this film, I think, aren't viewers who really love to think while watching a film, and get involved with the character's, immersed in the story, and would rather pick apart special effects, etc. and because of that, they are truly missing a thoughtful, engaging film and story.The relationships between the main five character's was wonderful. While watching I felt as if I knew friends in my life who were relate able or like the character's and therefore when they began losing their minds and being hurt, I really didn't want these character's to die. This is because the dialogue is witty and intelligent and the character's are well formed. Most horror films I watch, I don't care if they die, but this was not the case in The Corridor and I think that is because of the writing of these character's being so specific,unique and thought out that they really felt like three dimensional living people rather than two dimensional character's I tend to find in most horror films. It was great seeing the men come back together, all caring about each other, but seeing their personal hold ups with each other, jealousies, and their own insecurities, which have held them back from making a whole transformation from 'boys-to-men'. It makes it really suck when for example Tyler thinks he's losing his mind again. I became attached to the character's and therefore was upset and frightened when they were hurt.The actual 'corridor' itself is an amazing idea, and I like it's subtlety within the film. One of my favorite things about the film is when they first discover the 'corridor' and they all have unique reactions to it. I just really loved the concept of the corridor, but my favorite part about it was that it could take over the world, and that was really fun, fascinating and frightening. It felt if the corridor hit a big city, the world could end. Loved that.The acting is awesome in this film, these guys make you really care about them and make you want them to continue to be friends, or mend friendships. Really sold me on everything they did. I would recommend this film to anyone, kudo's to all involved!

danwzen 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.

suburbandit The Good: With the exception of one actor, the acting was generally believable. The cinematography was decent overall.The Bad: A dragging 30-minute exposition that could have been accomplished in 5 minutes or less. This is a movie not a novel; don't dialog us to death. As time went on I felt my interest in the characters decrease exponentially which, I imagine, stood in opposition to the director's intent. Ultimately, however, it's difficult to tell exactly what the director was going for. Regardless, the exposition never took me anywhere emotionally, and that left me with a "who cares" feeling that persisted throughout the majority of the movie.Character believability also had issues. Without giving too much away, I thought the characters' reactions to the corridor seemed unrealistic. However, I fault the script more than the actors for this. Arguably, though, their reactions could be attributed to the affects of the corridor itself, which would be consistent with the "plot." Nonetheless, it made for awkward viewing and I found myself silently begging the director, "get to the point." Additionally, there are episodes of violence in this movie that were unpalatable. Mind you, I'm a horror fan and can tolerate a fair share of gore. It would be incorrect to call the violence "gratuitous," because I think the violence was necessary for the director to get where he wanted to go. The problem was, the place he went was not fun, exciting, new, or even that interesting.The Ugly: The "hair" and makeup. I mean, wow. It's not often makeup has a hand in sinking a movie, but when you see the bald character in the beginning of the movie you will understand my point. It was so bad I think it skewed my impression of his acting ability. I've read others comment about the special effects. I didn't expect much in this area so it wasn't as big of a deal for me. If you're a stickler for good special effects, you might find yourself frustrated.Overall this movie felt like a bumbled attempt to stitch Dreamcatcher and Donnie Darko together and call it "art" under the guise of a psychological thriller. The thing about psychological thrillers, however, is that you have to get the viewer psychologically invested. This is where The Corridor failed.

Harold Boss I can't think of the last time I saw anything this bizarre. The script must surely have been written by a genuine schizophrenic - parts of it are too idiosyncratic to be anything other than autobiographical and other parts of it are too strange to have any meaning beyond the context to the author's own delusions. There must be an endless number of scripts out there that are equally weird, produced daily by schizophrenics in mental hospitals all over the world. Here is one however, that someone decided to straight up make into a movie. I mean I don't know that this was the case but that's certainly what it appears to be.There are however some genuinely scary moments amongst the bad acting and contrived scenes. For example - when the mother starts doing sign language on a loop on the video. The best bits of this movie (and they were very few) reminded me of "the Atrocity Exhibition". Check it out if you like unmitigated weirdness.
