    Spooky and Delightful

    Such a strong pilot episode and I am already hooked. The setting is erie and chilling and all the words you can associate with thrillers. I am probably the worst person to watch spooky stuff like this with cause I sit there and yell, "No! Nope! Don't do that!" at the screen like they can hear me. This episode passed that test with flying colors.

    Music and acting are both spine-tingling and freak me out in the best way. So so excited for more!

    This is really creepy

    I am glad they used a lot of fairly unknown actors, though there is one i Dig ;-)

    This episode put my teeth on edge, it has a really dark atmosphere and you really have no idea what to expect.

    I do have a feeling where this might be going, but let's see!

    There is one Trivia point about someone in a red jacket. And when i rewatched it, it just put my neck hairs right up. Possibly there happened a lot more, just out of view.

    Promising start and not for the feint of heart.

    Great pilot

    It was not a good idea for me to start this series late at night in bed. Need to pause this for tomorrow then its daylight.. goosebumbs all over my body.. Im usually not get easily scared by horrormovies but this has something.

    Perfect start..

    Creepy, a bit exotic, the type of horror that doesn't rely on scarry jumps, the story here really matters.

    I like the atmosphere, I hope the events would escalate with more in the next few episodes, seems to be a promising start..

    Very promising start!

    Keeps you guessing and sets up a thrilling mystery that strikes a great balance between scary and WTF? Like the writing and acting, the idea about restoring 'lost videotapes' that hold secrets is great, the remote location Dan has to work from adds to the eeriness. I just hope the series can keep up the pace and thrill.
