Synopsis

For the first time in UK film history a thriller/horror/comedy feature filmed in one continuous 80 minute shot! The last performance of a pantomime is held at an old, isolated Victorian theater in provincial England. The show's run has been a disaster, attracting only a handful of locals. The final wrap party afterwards turns out even worse and some of the cast and crew decide to slip away for their own private session in the theater's creepy basement. Amongst the group are the enviable pantomime leads and real-life lovers Clarice and Nathan, currently not speaking, the womanizing director Derrick and the thirty-something, obscure stage assistant Janet. As their private bash kicks off Derrick disappears, only to be found with his throat savagely slashed. When they discover that they're locked in the killing continues. Paranoia grows. No one can be trusted. Featuring Shaun Williamson (BBC EastEnders, The Invention of Lying, Ricky Gervais' Extras, BBC Scoop) and Lois Winstone (daughter of Ray Winstone, When Evil Calls, Beyond the Rave). "Britain's first one-take movie is in that sense an extraordinary success and a must see for fans of independent cinema." Richard Hawes -- Made in Kent

The Canal

Horror

Sitting in an empty theater, a film archivist watches the grainy footage that will be his undoing. David and his wife are perfectly happy—or so he believes. When he finds out the home he shares with his wife and son was the scene of a ghastly turn-of-the-century murder, David dismisses it as ancient history. That is, until the sinister history ripples into the present and casts a shadow over life as he knows it. And when a looming secret shatters his marriage, David can't help but suspect the dark spirits of the house are somehow involved. In his drive to unveil the shadows hidden in the walls, David begins to descend into insanity, threatening the lives of everyone around him.
Through ghastly imagery and a chilling score, Ivan Kavanagh’s The Canal is an Irish ghost story that will leave you with a fear of the dark and a dripping chill down your spine long after the film's conclusion.
