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!

The title of the series basically explains how it works. PewDiePie is put through situations which involve certain tasks and will usually have some sort of scare tactic with it. I was only able to see one full episode, but from that one episode, I knew just how the rest would be. This is like that TV Show you see Ads for that looks interesting. So you watch one episode, say you thought it was entertaining, then never watch it again. They could've taken this a different way, but instead it's just 20 minutes of pewdiepie in different scenarios getting freaked out and him screaming in both English and Swedish. If you're a hardcore pewdiepie fan, and don't have netflix or any other streaming service, then go for spending $10 a month to watch these. If you have netflix, hulu, or any other streaming service, stick to those. I thought this was okay. If I had to, I'd watch another one. But to be honest, it could've been better.

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.

When my friend Hewyn told me to watch this I didn't have much hope for it, but I have to say I was positively gobsmacked when I watched it. There is nothing better than a heckin fun time with Felix and I worship him everyday of my life now. I have shaved my pubes to make it look like his beard but it freaks out my gf and she won't give me blowey joey.

This series is a cinematic masterpiece and pretty much the reason why God hasn't just killed us off. The camera angles are orgasmic and always do justice to pewdiepie's beautiful features. I have never witnessed such grace on the small screen and it was well worth the £999.999 a day to watch it. Great odea by YouTube to make people pay for something they'll just stream for free except nobody will because it's garbage.

10/10

It's sold as a scary show, but it fails when it comes to acting, script writing and almost everything it was supposed to be. "A Scary Show". There are cameras and people everywhere while Felix pretends to be alone and confused. He screams at what seems to be low budget monsters. Sadly it's not even funny.

They make it to looks like he doesn't know what comes next, but nothing fits with it leaving us with nothing but disappointment.

That said, If Felix do something like that again but as the director, I'd watch it. He's the best entertainer youtube ever had. Any of his videos are better than this.
