Review: The Breach (2022)
By William Pattison
For Horror Bob’s Blog…
This time I got a thriller/ Lovecraftian horror for you…
Based on the novel by Nick Cutter (The Troop) and screenplay
written by Cutter and Ian Weir, THE BREACH tells the story of John Hawkins,
counting down his last days as Chief of Police in the tiny town of Lone Crow
nestled deep in the desolate woods of Northern Ontario. But when a mangled body
with uncanny wounds washes up on the shores of the Porcupine River, he's pulled
into a horrific mystery that defies comprehension.
This film is an interest mystery with touches of body horror
and creature fun. It has some good atmosphere along with some good practical FX.The
skinless things the people turn onto look great. As well as a nice touch of the
good ole Lovecraftian creepiness. The only downside to this film is it is a
slow burn which can be an issue for Gen Xers. I mean after all they need immediate
gratification and this film takes it’s
time. This isn’t a problem for me but youngsters might have an issue
with the pace and all the complex dialogue.
Still, I have to say I enjoyed it. It’s nothing fantastic, but it was an interesting
ride and I give it my recommendation.
You can find this film on Tubi TV…
