Tribeca 2014 - The Trailer For Psychological Horror The Canal Delivers An Nightmarish Imagery Will Leave You Spooked

Next month New York's premier film festival Tribeca Film Festival will kick off and we do love our horrors here and Tribeca like many festivals has it's dedicated horror strand. The festival's Midnight strand one film that stands out for us is Irish director Ivan Kavangh's Psychological Horror The Canal will be debut and we get our look at the trailer.

Whilst we may not get to the festival as we are living here in Blighty the nightmarish imagery  delivers a spooky feeling. It maybe an independent flick but we have an idea this one will get some form of a release in the UK looking at the British /Irish cast.

Starring Rupert Evans (Hellboy) as David and Antonia-Campbell Hughes (Under The Skin, Kelly +Victor) look like any perfectly happy married couple but are they? David is an film Archivist and whilst looking through old footage he unravels the knowledge that the house house he shares with his family was the scene of ghastly century old murder. His wife thinks he's having an affair but as he falls into insanity he believes a dark spirit is causing his troubles threatening everything he loves.

The generics of The Canal may look bog standard however we do love the visual tone of the film looks terrifying  very intense film making this one worthwhile look. No cinema release date but you can check out The Canal at Tribeca Film Festival on 18th April, film co-stars Steve Oram (Sightseers), Hannah Hoesktra.

Synopsis

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.
