Two Sentence Horror Stories

Thy turned season 3 into a pre teen Teeny Bop after school bad drama. Damn shame because season 2 was actually pretty good.

I tried going into this with allow expectations, the title "two sentence horror stories" was either going to be bad or okay. It erred toward bad. The acting wasn't very good, the storylines were often not well developed, and the sentences didn't always fit the story. While a few of the stories had a definite creep factor, the majority weren't very scary.

Six episodes in and what the hell is going on with the audio Read some meanderings from the producer about trying to make it seem ominous or some crap. Nope just makes it impossible to hear what people are saying and annoying as hell - when you have a constant base drone sound going on it just becomes really irritating and sounds like some cheap home school production. You keep asking yourself am I supposed to be hearing what is going on? Takes you completely out of the story

The idea of short horror stories is intriguing, but the direction, editing and unfortunately also the script feel like a first semester's film school project: they worked with ambition, but without craftsmanship. While the acting is completely ok, the stories don't give you anything. After the first five minutes you regularly think "yes, that might be quite exciting", but then you quickly realize that the rhythm of the stories is just not right, that the editor only has a vague idea of how to create suspense and that the director is simply unable to shape the sloppy script into a coherent whole. There are thousands of horror stories in literature that are only a few pages long, but whose stories leave an impression you will remember years later. That's not the case in any episode here. The whole first season reminded me very much of first film school projects that stood under the motto "learning by failing". Then we sat down and analyzed why everything didn't work out as it was supposed to. We can only hope that this concept will also be applied here and that the second season will be better.

You can tell from the get-go that the show has a low budget; the acting is poor and the effects aren't great. The two sentence story concept is fun but it isn't really executed well. It's not the worst show out there, but Goosebumps is better.

Some episodes are good though- I would recommend Tutorial, Instinct, and Hide.
