Urban Legend

It was a good concept but there are so many urban legends they could have done. Unless they are making a season 2. Which I hope they do bad or good its still a fun watch. Some of these are 100x better than season 3 of creepshow even some of season 2 of creepshows were bad. It was weird though how eli had interviews with directors in first couple episodes then nothing till episode 8. Here's my opinion on the season.

The best episodes were... the choking doberman.

The red room.

The scuba diver.

Episodes just ok.... the bite the white dress the creep in the walls

the worst episodes the harvest the haunted shower.

The plot holes are SO annoying. In. Every. Single. Episode. You could drive an ocean liner through the many plot holes! Sad thing is they aren't hard to fix but there's just no care or concern to do so on the part of any of the directors as evidenced in Roth's sit down and chat with them. Roth's insistence that each and every particular urban legend is the most well known and widespread gets tiresome and phony since I've lived a lot longer than he has and never heard of half of theses and the one I heard the most isn't even done or mentioned. The acting wasn't all bad (depends on the episode). The show is worth a watch and INFINITELY better than Two Sentence Horror Stories.

This is an anthology horror series produced by Eli Roth. Each episode is supposed to be an urban legend and ends with a section where Eli chats with the newly discovered filmmaker. That chat is the least compelling part of every episode. I do appreciate Eli giving these people some facetime, but they usually have nothing interesting to say. The actors tend to be newbies which gives an interesting vibe. This is not a big production. At its core, this show has an indie horror feel. For the first season, episode 5 is good. The others are mostly simplistic and a bit boring. I don't know if there are more seasons to come.

I was not impressed. Most of the episodes were just simply boring. There was maybe 2 episodes that were a bit better in atmosphere and story, but that wasn't nearly enough to carry the dead weight of the rest of the show.

The acting was not good but not horrible, mostly just weird. Stories had very little content which made them boring and felt prolonged. Production was clearly pretty cheap but not terrible.

Most of the episodes didn't really seem to me like an urban legends and those that did, were told very differently from the original - they added a lot of nonsense and boring stuff to fill the 40 something minutes.

I don't know why they haven't cancelled this show already.

Not exactly sure when Eli Roth signed some big contract with the travel channel or when the Travel Channel became paranormal and horror based as it is now. Either way this series is off to a promising start with some solid horror based subject matter. While a lot of it reminiscent to certain things we've seen before spliced with urban legend topics, it's executed passably and is rather enticing at times. There are a lot of scenes that have been taken from other movies but at this point it's hard not to have familiarity in 2022. I do like the Eli Roth interview with the Director at the end of each episode as it gives a nice aspect. I will definitely continue to see what other topics they touch on which is more than I can say for most series.
