Unfortunately, the moments in which the film tries to address this complex cauldron of love and resentment end up becoming the worst parts. Thanks to Jacob having dated Meg before Hawkins did, and still harbouring feelings for her, there’s some tension between the two men added into this, it’s clear that there’s still something between Meg and Hawkins too. The team that Hawkins has put together to go looking into this strange death might be the most practical one on paper, but reality says otherwise as he has to deal with his ex, and her jealous ex. Sadly, the film can’t rely on special effects and shock moments to keep the audience entertained, and the rest of the time is filled with the central mystery and interpersonal drama. There are moments when you’ll want to stop looking at the screen thanks to how disgusting events are, yet your eyes are glued to it in awe as you try to figure out how certain things are done. ![]() And it seems like a great deal of time and effort has been given over to these moments, with some truly superb special effects and practical make-up work that is some of the best a smaller budget horror film has managed to achieve. There are moments in this film that, much like with Cutter’s previous work, feel gross, disturbing, and otherworldly, and play on very visceral and primal fears about injury, personal safety, and infection (themes that seem to be pretty consistent in his work).

Hawkins recruits his ex, and local boat charter guide Meg (Emily Alatalo), and coroner Jacob (Wesley French) to travel with him up the river to find the cabin, and see if they can get answers to the gruesome mystery. Hawkins and his team examine the gruesome remains within the boat and come to the conclusion that it belongs to a physicist who’s been working out of a remote cabin further up the river. ![]() ![]() John Hawkins (Allan Hawco), the chief of police for the Lone Crow reservation, is called in to investigate the event, interrupting his plans to pack up and move on from the community. The Breach begins with a family picnic by the river coming to a horrific end as a small canoe floats up to the shore, containing a horror within. And whilst there are some visually spectacular moments throughout The Breach, the rest of the film seems to struggle to keep the viewer’s attention. Having read his novel The Troop, and classing it as one of the most disturbing and disgusting books that I’ve ever read, I knew that The Breach, the film adaptation of his audio drama of the same name, was going to be a film that incorporated body horror and moments designed to amaze the audience. Author Nick Cutter (pen name for Craig Davidson) is known for pretty gross horror in the book community.
