All the low reviews are indeed correct, but I do enjoy watching the videos which often show really bizarre events. The problem as everyone notes is that the so-called experts inject huge amounts of filler in the form of explanations that are obviously not correct. They clearly do this to get by with only a few videos per show. They could simply show the videos a couple of times and then provide the explanation if one is known or state no viable explanation has yet surfaced. If they did that each show would last 5-10 minutes instead of 41 (minus ads). I record the shows and simply watch the videos. I then fast forward to the end of each segment for the explanation (if any) while also skipping commercials. Obviously if the show were really well produced this would not be necessary, but I still watch, so I came up with a 7/10 for the videos I find interesting. Some really are informative and some reveal facts which can be helpful. You can learn things you might not otherwise know, such as certain unsafe activities or places to avoid, or that are so interesting and safe you can add them to your bucket list for a future planned visit or experience.
This is one of those flicks you would not want to pay to see, but for free if you can't sleep one night and there are no commercial interruptions... maybe. Always hard to create horror comedy as this one clearly shows. Even so I was not kicking myself at the end for 1 1/2 hours totally wasted. Don't watch or refuse to watch because of an alleged "gay" angle. There is NO real angle to this, just somewhat tolerable entertainment. Mainly I just found myself enjoying Weaving, though there was nothing noteworthy about her character or performance. Is there anything great or even good in this entire endeavor? Not really, but I still found myself mildly entertained on a sleepless night at 3 am. Can't claim I was totally coherent, but not under the influence of anything other than natural grogginess.
The good reviews are far more entertaining than the flick, but that's not saying much. Everybody is familiar with pretentious individuals who love to wax poetic about something any sensible person would simply recognize as not worth his/her time. These are the types who see deep meaning in human feces smeared on a canvas and will create mindless metaphors for all the ills of society in what is nothing more than crap smeared on a canvas. The people giving this crap flick rave reviews are the same, believing they are perceptive and refined individuals, standing above the simple minded proles who will never appreciate complex thought. They suffer from severe overt lack of self esteem or possibly have a vested interest in the sale of the crap. I always imagine the "artists" and purveyors of such BS laughing their asses off as they head to the bank with the sucker's easy to come by cash. Want to spend what seems like 3 hours feeling stupid?! Watch this to the very end including the credits. Does it explain itself then?! Yes, but the conclusion is still crap. Sequels with more expansive explanations in the offing? Probably, given the mediocrity many in our society today are all to ready to accept as legit entertainment. Real corn maze snoozer. Watch for "Field: The Return" or "Corny Escape III" coming soon.
