The Parks family reside in a lighthouse just outside a small town on the Maine coastline. Something horrendous and mysterious happens one night when Katelyn Parks mother is murdered in the basement. Her father is incarcerated for the killing. Twenty years later the town's mayor together with his contractors are planning to re-open the lighthouse to revitalise the town, much to the chagrin of the local priest. Father Hendry will stop at nothing to stop the lighthouse from being re-opened, even inviting the not-so-young anymore Katelyn to return and help him stop the new construction. When strange occurrences start happening around the lighthouse once again, it turns into race to stop the constructors from their task and hopefully put an end to the strange phenomenon. Though it seems there is more going on that meets the eye...

Behind the Wall is a small scale b-movie from 2008 with some surprising faces. Lindy Booth (Nicole from Dawn of the Dead 2004) plays Katelyn, the movies main character and all round good girl. She's looking as lush as she did in Dawn of The Dead i can say thankfully. Her acting ain't too bad either even though her character isn't particularly memorable. Most of the other cast include Canadian actors (it was a Canadian production company that made this) and whilst generally the acting quality is OK, it can be patchy in parts, though never bad enough to ruin the movie.

Little to zero gore, no big shocks sadly. Though the environment is generally quite spooky and adds to the atmosphere of the movie well. It's reminiscent of John Carpenter's The Fog in this regard. There's very few special effects as well, though this does change a little at the end. Don't expect anything too fancy, this movie was made on a supposed budget of $1.2million so you can't expect too much.

The movies pacing is a little on the slow side, though i honestly didn't feel the movie drag out that much, i could easy imagine more excitable viewers would be turned off by this.

Behind the Wall is one of those movies that straggles through mediocrity but at times it can get you engaged. For a b-movie it has above average acting (by and large) and the storyline is cohesive enough for me to warrant recommending it. Though remember, it is slow and it's really not the most exiting of movies either. If in doubt, it's perhaps one to leave for a lonely weekend.

Feel free to leave a comment if you wanna know more or you'd like to share your opinion of the movie/review.
