The Breach is the second film by Rodrigo Gudiño, founder and president of Rue Morgue magazine. Back in 2012, Gudiño made his filmmaking debut with The Last Will and Testament of Rosalind Leigh: a quietly haunting meditation on family ties and Catholic guilt that follows a grieving son as he is stalked by a shadowy presence lurking in the labyrinth home that once belonged to his recently deceased mother. It has taken a full decade for Gudiño to make his sophomore feature, a Lovecraftian police procedural that offers plenty to enjoy – but never quite lives up to its predecessor. Our Culture reviews the film here as part of its selection from the 2022 Fantasia International Film Festival.

10. Fantasia 2022 Review: What to Do With the Dead Kaiju? (2022)
