Urban Legend

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.

I was a bit hesitant about watching this series at first as I have not had much luck finding decent horror anthologies besides Del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities. By no means am I putting this series in that league. It's not, however I find each story that I watched entertaining enough, and production values and the acting was fairly decent.

I would have of course liked to see them more closely follow the urban legends they seem based off, instead of going a bit 'out there' with them. Which is especially the case of the 2nd one in the series.

However, they are watchable and kept me wanting to see what was happening next.

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.

Very sordid series. The graphic tale was not one I care to view. Blood and a plot for money is so the thing now isn't it? Would love to see original stories Then at the end of the story was lackluster and topped off by a director chat about how he created this hour long piece.

Seems to me it could have been less graphic. It just copied most of the slasher movies from a few decades ago.

It would be nice to see some legends that are real but not explored and a bit more entertaining. Just my thoughts. Watch the next episode and share what you find interesting. This is my first and last gorefest.

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.
