When he discovers his mother has died from an overdose, Tyler Crawley (Stephen Chambers) suffers a bout of paranoid schizophrenia, attacking his concerned friends with a knife. After a stint in a mental institution, Tyler tries to get his life back on track with the help of medication, and agrees to spend a weekend with his pals in a remote snowbound cabin in an attempt to patch up their friendship.
Then things start to get really weird
While Tyler is in the woods scattering his mother's ashes, he sees something inexplicable—a translucent box of energy. When he tries to tell his friends about the phenomena, they think he is having a relapse, but after dragging them out to the woods he is able to prove that he is telling the truth. The astounded group enter the box—which gradually grows in length to become a corridor—where they experience a collective consciousness that expands their senses but which also causes madness.
The Corridor is every bit as confusing as it sounds, and with no satisfactory explanation of events, it is bound to irk many viewers. I wasn't all that bothered by the lack of exposition, being used to watching very strange movies that force the viewer to figure things out for themselves, but I was irritated by the dreary pace (nothing much of interest happens for the first half an hour), unlikeable characters and dull dialogue: successfully making it to the end of the film proved a major feat, despite a spot of gnarly violence at the hands of Everett Manette (James Gilbert), whose exposure to the bizarre expanding corridor of supernatural energy results in him becoming a homicidal maniac who garrottes a hunter, scalps one of his friends and crucifies another.
On top of all the stupefying nonsense that supposedly passes for a plot, this film also boasts one of the most ridiculous hairstyles in horror: Matthew Amyotte plays Robert 'Bobcat' Comeau, who is supposedly going bald, but the actor has clearly had the top of his head shaved for the role, leaving a daft wisp of hair flapping about. It looks bloody silly, but is probably the most memorable thing about the whole film.
3.5 out of 10, rounded up to 4 for you guessed it Bobcat's Friar Tuck hair!
