The Canal is a psychological horror film that unravels the life of a film archivist named David, whose sanity begins to deteriorate when he comes across a morbid 16mm film reel. The reel contains footage of a gruesome murder that took place in the early 1900s—a chilling discovery that sets off a chain of horrifying events.

As David delves deeper into the history of the murder, he starts to notice eerie parallels between the crime and his personal life. He becomes consumed by paranoia and begins to question the fidelity of his wife, Claire. The haunting images from the film reel infiltrate David's dreams, blurring the lines between reality and madness.

Increasingly isolated and descending into a state of fear, David becomes convinced that a malevolent presence is haunting his home—a canal-side house where he resides with his wife and young son.
