I just finished watching director, writer, editor Tom Lewis' new
film The Channel. This is a film about a girl named Cassie who survives an auto
accident and ends up being pursued by a negative entity. She also starts seeing
spirits, including her friend who died in the car accident. We follow her as
she deals with her doctors and psychiatrist who figure she has a mental
condition and her parish priest and his young associate who start to suspect
something demonic is threatening Cassie's life.
Director Tom Lewis uses his modest budget very well, depending
on creative camera work and the use of colored lighting and shadow to create a
creepy mood. He also uses digital and practical FX sparingly and to the
greatest affect. This is truly a well made horror film and I hope to see a lot
more from this wonderful director.
