A Screening Night for The Corridor

Film lovers will get to see an edge-of-your seat thriller on Wednesday, Feb. 23 at 7 p.m. as Film Nova Scotia and Empire Theatres host a free public screening of the feature film, The Corridor, at the Oxford Theatre.

The feature film, produced by Craig Cameron and Mike Masters, directed by Evan Kelly and written by Josh MacDonald, is being described as Big Chill meets The Evil Dead.

When five best friends go for a male-bonding weekend in the woods to reconnect as their ever changing lives pull them in different directions, they quickly realize the weekend is going to end much differently than anticipated. Discovering a special corridor through the woods, the weekend becomes the staging ground for some mind-bending occurrences that results in questions of sanity, masculinity, and violence.

Premiering at the 2010 Atlantic Film Festival, The Corridor received four-and-a-half stars for the chilling, sci-fi thriller that delivers more than your average something-in-the-dark horror flick. Reviewers from the Atlantic Film Festival called The Corridor "smart, scary and engrossing,... clearly one of 2010's true breakout features."

Screening Nights are held four times a year allowing local audiences to see homegrown film productions and enable local filmmakers to promote their work.
