Contents

Plot

Friends on a weekend excursion follow a path into a forest that leads to death and horror.

A group of high school friends reunite years later for a weekend of partying and catching up on old times. Isolated deep in the snow-covered forest, they stumble upon a mysterious corridor of light. Like a drug, the corridor's energy consumes them, driving them to the point of madness. One by one, they turn on each other, taking their evil to the next level. Mayhem leads to murder as they race to outlast each other, and the corridor's supernatural powers.

Cast

Reception

Dread Central said, "The dynamic between the actors, the graphic but controlled violence, and the psychedelic, sci-fi wonderment of The Corridor make it well worth your time." [2]

Horror News said, "While we would like many more questions to be answered, the “lack of” feels ok in this instance to allow for the mystery elements to fully embellish. “The Corridor” is a fantastic thrill ride of horror and science fiction worth seeing." [3]
