I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Well, definitely liked the way that this movie started out. It had a bit of mystery with a kid psyching out, and with the illusion of a possible crime being committed. But, the film had a lot of slow moments to it, especially right after the first five minutes. It dragged a bit to long at times, and it bored me quickly. Once all of the friends got together out in the country, I felt like the characters were disjointed and acted more like they just met, rather than supposedly being best friends since high school. Fast forward to about the last 30 minutes of the film. This is where it just seemed a bit odd to me, and I didn't particularly like that portion of it. I felt that I knew where they were trying to go with it, but to me, it didn't quite get there. I could definitely identify with the "crazy" character, but again, what was reality and what wasn't? I don't know if parts of the film was supposed to be some sort of reconciliation, or was it mere punishment. I didn't hate the movie, but I didn't quite like it either.

The Corridor is a great film. The main elements that stand out are the writing/relationships, the main concept of the corridor and the acting. It doesn't feel like most grind-em-up horror films. It is thoughtful, and written so well that it feels like a well constructed dramatic story told through the eyes of the horror genre, and the result is that it is truly frightening. Trolls who don't like this film, I think, aren't viewers who really love to think while watching a film, and get involved with the character's, immersed in the story, and would rather pick apart special effects, etc. and because of that, they are truly missing a thoughtful, engaging film and story.The relationships between the main five character's was wonderful. While watching I felt as if I knew friends in my life who were relate able or like the character's and therefore when they began losing their minds and being hurt, I really didn't want these character's to die. This is because the dialogue is witty and intelligent and the character's are well formed. Most horror films I watch, I don't care if they die, but this was not the case in The Corridor and I think that is because of the writing of these character's being so specific,unique and thought out that they really felt like three dimensional living people rather than two dimensional character's I tend to find in most horror films. It was great seeing the men come back together, all caring about each other, but seeing their personal hold ups with each other, jealousies, and their own insecurities, which have held them back from making a whole transformation from 'boys-to-men'. It makes it really suck when for example Tyler thinks he's losing his mind again. I became attached to the character's and therefore was upset and frightened when they were hurt.The actual 'corridor' itself is an amazing idea, and I like it's subtlety within the film. One of my favorite things about the film is when they first discover the 'corridor' and they all have unique reactions to it. I just really loved the concept of the corridor, but my favorite part about it was that it could take over the world, and that was really fun, fascinating and frightening. It felt if the corridor hit a big city, the world could end. Loved that.The acting is awesome in this film, these guys make you really care about them and make you want them to continue to be friends, or mend friendships. Really sold me on everything they did. I would recommend this film to anyone, kudo's to all involved!

I thought this was a very good movie. Even though the story didn't have a lot of obvious explanations for everything, the effect outweighed the remaining questions I had with the film. It was actually quite believable even though it wasn't that "believeable" if you know what I mean. I think if it was a little longer the corridor may have been better explained and the other scenes would have perhaps knit in better. The extreme violence with the characters was not at all predictable or understandable. This seems to fit with the "crazy" theme the movie was looking for. I believe there is a lot of sub-standard horror stuff out there, even on Netflix, but this one was a very good horror movie.

The plot: A group of friends come upon a mysterious corridor in the woods that has strange effects on them.I don't understand why The Corridor has so many rave reviews. For one thing, the score is really rather low (4.5 or so) and the majority of comments are negative. And, yet, there's a long string of reviews calling it awesome, voted as being extremely helpful. It's basically a slow-paced pastiche of Stephen King stories. I don't understand how anyone could call this fresh, different, or original, if they've ever read a single Stephen King book. It strongly reminded me of Dreamcatcher and Tommyknockers, but there's elements of others, as well.There are many things wrong with this movie, but the biggest is that it's boring for the first half. When it starts getting more interesting, it's derivative. Its like they randomly threw in plot elements of all their favorite Stephen King novels, without any real attempt at cohesion or making sense. Some of the scenes did work, but many of them just annoyed me. The characters were generally unlikable and annoying, which just made the whole experience that much worse.I guess you might like this movie if you're big into low budget, Canadian horror movies. I usually am, but this one really didn't do much for me.
