Scare PewDiePie

"Scare PewDiePie" honestly showed a lot of potential as a horror series, but mostly felt like a misfire.

The lead personality PewDiePie has strong stage presence and charisma, which makes it easy for the viewers to appreciate him. Even then, he still remains very human onscreen, which makes him relatable as a person. Every time he has to solve a challenge or overcome a scary obstacle, it is hard not to root for the man. He truly carried the series.

The guests like Markiplier and MatPat are well-utilized as well, which is a bonus.

However, the flaws of the show are more from the quality and game design overall.

First and foremost, the fear factor is very hit-or-miss. Some of the "horror houses" or "escape room" locations, like the alien spaceship, haunted hotel, and spooky arcade, are AWESOME, while others look like they came straight out of a low-budget carnival, which makes the tone of the show very inconsistent. At times, the escape rooms are very amateur-looking, and other times, they are professional-looking. The same can be said for the horror actors, who are either very convincing as scary threats, or are like Trick-or-Treating toddlers trying to jumpscare an adult.

The game design is poor. PewDiePie is not given much consequences for making mistakes, and is given too many tries despite the fact that he is a gamer who should understand horror games well by that point. The line between "horror house" and "escape room" is blurred for better and for worse, but mostly for worse. Having more thought-provoking puzzles rather than straightforward puzzles would have benefited the enjoyability of the series, and gave PewDiePie true challenges to overcome.

Overall, this series has potential, and still deserves a BroFist for the effort!

PewDiePie is the most subscribed YouTuber of all time, but that doesn't mean that everything he makes is flawless. Although many people in the world like his content(I do honestly). But this mess of a show has gone way too far.The ENTIRE SHOW is just screaming and cursing for comedic effect, but it doesn't work. I paid to see this show, and I thought it would be ACTUALLY good since I enjoy watching PewDiePie. I really don't recommend this atrocity and it's best to skip it. I guess YouTube Red movies like "Lazer Team" and "Unicorn Island" were actually OK, so please, even if you are a fan of PewDiePie, you probably won't like the show.

I will only say, yes, it is fun to watch but its not way more fun then PewDiePies normal gameplaying videos. I wont say review anything stupid like storyline because that is not important here so I will only talk about the production. I actually liked the first episode til I saw that in some cases, there wasn't even a roof in the "sceneries" he went into. It was a studio which I get, yes, even though it wouldn't be hard to fit a warehouse with these things which they, kind off do later on the show, I get the fact that it might be in a studio but still, with that good sceneries, they could've made it feel better. But small things like this make you watch the show, not with a mind thinking "wow, thats so authentic" and neither thinking "this is soooo fake" but rather find yourself wondering how authentic it is, watching the show thinking "hmm, was this a genuine reaction, it seemed that way, is he still convinced its real or has he realized the "show" has started because that reaction felt fake?" or "Does he now this act is real or fake". I give it a 6 because it is fun nonetheless but has a lot of room for development. Maybe season 2?

It isn't something you should go out of your way to watch but it was still an enjoyable experience.

Felix is decent, but the production itself really lacks. It feels a bit like scare tactics only not as good.. in fact I'm pretty sure I spotted a few people in it who were also in Scare Tactics. If you have youtube red then it might be worth it just to pass the time on a boring day but otherwise I would avoid it and just was his other videos.

The only things I did enjoy a little bit is when they had guest on to help Felix out.

I will also say that some of this stuff is obviously scripted, there is a portion where they have Felix talking to himself over the sound system and he responds.. there's no way it could be a "reality" show if you have pre-scripted/pre-recorded moments talking with yourself.
