The Canal
Directed by Ivan Kavanagh
Whilst sorting through film footage of a horrific 1900s murder case, archivist David (Rupert Evans) discovers his family home was the scene of the gruesome crime in question.

Teetering on the brink of insanity, a shattering betrayal sends David over the edge as he finds himself embroiled in a sinister plot. Based on an Irish ghost story, Ivan Kavanagh’s THE CANAL is an effective murder mystery with a compelling supernatural twist. Contains sexual scenes, violence and gore.
A film archivist is haunted by a turn-of-the-century murder in this acclaimed Irish horror.
Cast: Rupert Evans, Antonia Campbell-Hughes, Hannah Hoekstra

absolutely loved the movie and the ending left me speechless
A good thriller/horror film. Well made, well acted. Not a home run but worth the watch if you're the kind of person who likes your genre films with a European flair.
A good movie but very very slow! Not the hugest of plot twists at the end.
I agree it was a little slow but it was still a good film.
Found it a touch slow and boring to be honest, not my preferred choice. But others love it so it can’t be all bad. Horses for courses and all that.
