#The Canal

[erdogan-nevra]

Event: Pizza Making

Location: The Canal, Camden

Date: July 20th, 2024

"Miss, you're not supposed to be,"

Nevra looked up at one of the helpers weaving between the tables and tables of people attempting to make pizza. She'd noted the girl 10 minutes ago, even in the bordering on drunk state she was already in. It wasn't her fault they kept passing out glasses of wine.

"The egg goes in the flour, doesn't it? How am I not doing this right?" She looked down at the slab in front of her. When she saw...well she wasn't quite sure what she was looking at. They'd given her a bowl of flour, some eggs, and said to kneed them together until they made a dough. Only problem was, kneed wasn't a word Nevra was familiar with. Bits of egg clung to the table still and half of the flour was now powdered across the front of her dress.

Where was Ayaz when you needed him?

The helper grimaced at her and wiped away the mess, placing yet another bowl of flour and eggs in front of the assassin. She mimicked how to work the ingredients together but gave up when Nevra picked up her fourth glass of wine, walking off to help someone less inebriated.

"Well excuse me for having a good time." She was smart enough to say it under her breath but perhaps not quiet enough as she saw a shadow fall over her workspace. Nev looked up at the person now standing across from her. "Do you understand how to do this?"

THE CANAL (2014)

Slow burn Irish horror with a twist you can see a mile away. Probably would have served this better to be a short instead of a full length film but someone had to make a buck somewhere. 

⭐⭐⭐

(Trigger Warning Graphic Childbirth, Child Death)

Husband and wife move into a house near a canal (The Canal), and raise their kid there. One day when the husband, David, is archiving a film he finds out a murder happened in his home which is unsettling (a husband killed his wife)! David begins to believe his wife is cheating on him which she very much is, he catches her in the act and his first thought is to bludgeon the guy to death. David is able to avoid doing this but is plagued with some special visitors when he is next to The Canal. The next day his cheating wife doesn’t show up back home… Dun dun dun! “People always suspect the husband… because it’s always the husband. Every fucking time.”

They find her body in The Canal! It appears that her heel snapped and she fell in and drowned. David continues to learn more dark history about The Canal. A dark figure is also coming up a lot in his footage and in his life, David is rather haunted. He is so convinced that the bad man is coming for him that he sends his son away but then sees the dark figure over video chat! The nanny is scared and wants to leave but isn’t sure what to do. She gets attacked by an unknown force in the night and David locks her and the kid in the closet so she totally thinks David attacked her so she’s gone.

David attempts to capture the thing on film and even puts powder on his floors so that he will see the footprints left behind by whomever is in his home! The cops find a hammer with his fingerprints on it but his wife didn’t die via hammer so I don’t know that it’s fair that he’s in any trouble other than for littering. David follows the path that he found when he opened up the wall and he follows the tunnel behind his house that leads to The Canal.

He finds some creepy stuff there and his coworker tries to talk some sense into him but he just ends up feeding her to The Canal Creature. Oh, but suddenly David remembers it was him all along who killed his wife and coworker, woops! But The Canal demons made him do it and then they dragged him down with them into the depths. I guess the dad became one of the demons too because he encourages Billy to kill himself so that he can be with his parents again.

I went to the canal path. About a week until the foliage hits its peak but it’s already wonderful to walk there in the sun and wind.

You’ve really gotta hand it to Brennan because Bobby Dawn had what, 3 lines between the end of this ep and the preview?

And EVERYONE wants this motherfucker dead already.

You know you’ve mastered the Southern Evangelist voice when just a single sentence makes me feel like nails are dragging down the chalkboard of my soul.
