The breach had all the makings of an excellent cult horror feature, but likely will not reach those heights.
A trio of small towners go to explore a house on the other side of a river to get insights into the grisly death of a scientist. What they find gets progressively worse until things all come to a head.
Unfortunately for the film nobody can act, save for Natalie Brown who does the best she can in the thankless role of the scientists estranged wife looking for both her missing husband and their daughter.
I was about to turn the film off until she stepped into it and elevated the film while she was on screen.
The special effects are decent, but they don't save the film from feeling unbearably hokey and melodramatic versus tense and scary.
The writing itself leaves a lot to be desired, I wanted to like this movie, some of the plot was interesting. Occult underlinings, physics, dimensional travel, I feel maybe reading the book would have been a better experience.
The music, is not great to put it kindly, it feels very out of place and far too melodramatic at times, detracting from the film instead of adding to it.
Perhaps Rue Morgues second attempt at a film will be better. Sorry guys, this one's a miss.
5 stars for Natalie Brown and the effects.
