‘The Corridor’ Gets A New Poster And Release Date!

CorridorLand22312 The Corridor Gets A New Poster And Release Date!

IFC Midnight will release Evan Kelly’s Canadian thriller The Corridor on March 30th. A piece about male-bonding and miscommunication described as “The Big Chill slammed into The Evil Dead.” Stephen Chambers, James Gilbert, David Patrick Flemming, Matthew Amyotte, and Glen Matthews all star.

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 occurrence — 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…

Is it me or does the film look kind of like Dreamcatcher? But perhaps a better version of it? Agree? Disagree?
