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.
