The Breach - Das Tor zur Hölle

I had never heard about this 2022 movie titled "The Breach" from writers Nick Cutter and Ian Weir prior to sitting down to watch it. But I have to admit that I was initially drawn in by the movie's cover right away when I stumbled upon it by random chance here in 2024. Suffice it to say, that with it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen and an interesting cover, of course I opted to sit down and watch what director Rodrigo Gudiño had to offer.

The storyline in "The Breach" had potential, I will say that much. However, writers Nick Cutter and Ian Weir just never really tapped fully into the potential readily available within the concept of the story. A shame really, because "The Breach" could have been so much more than what director Rodrigo Gudiño managed to deliver.

I was not familiar with any of the cast members in the movie. And that is something that I actually do enjoy when I sit down to watch a movie. And I will say that the cast ensemble in "The Breach" were good, and the actors and actresses put on good performances throughout the course of the movie.

Now, something that I really enjoyed about "The Breach" were the special effects. There were some nice special effects in the movie, and that definitely helped to make up for an otherwise bland script and storyline.

While I did manage to sit through the entire movie, I can honestly say that it is not a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time. It just simply was a bit too mundane, bland and without much of anything thrilling or scary for the audience to enjoy.

My rating of "The Breach" lands on a generous four out of ten stars.
