About
If you like psychological horror mysteries and haunted-house unease, The Canal may be your kind of slow burn with dread and doubt; Not for you if you want straightforward answers or fast thrills like Nocebo or Watcher.
Pros: creepy psychological tension; strong lead performance; oppressive eerie mood | Cons: slow pacing; confusing ambiguity; uneven connection
