The Canal

A Feature Film

Cinema Archivist David Williams lives with his wife, Alice, and their 6-year-old son. All seems well until David begins to suspect that Alice is cheating on him. His anxiety is then compounded by a bizarre coincidence at work: he learns that his home was the site of a brutal series of murders by an occultist named William Jackson, who slew his wife for being unfaithful and drowned both of their children in the nearby canal.

As David’s suspicions grow, a shadowy figure of a man, who resembles Jackson, starts to appear to him and David becomes convinced that this “evil supernatural presence” that inhabits his house, never ever wants him or his family to leave.
