Strange Events

I have no idea what these reviews are talking about. This is a series, with episodes. Over 120 minutes all together, not 77. I had to recheck, in case I was on the wrong page. I'm not. This is a really strangely done series. The acting isn't great, the scripting is weird, and kind of high schoolish. I almost feel like high schoolers would have done a better job. Some of the stories have legitimately no ending. You're left in confusion, which is frustrating. Honestly, the show makes great background noise, but really isn't worth the watch.

This show tries to tell stories in a suspenseful/mysterious vein, but fails miserably.

The scripts are about as suspenseful as a shopping list. Often, they either make no sense or the characters are in situations that simply defy any sort of believability.

The acting is incredibly amateurish; most of the acting performances are just horrible/completely unconvincing.

I usually enjoy these types of programs (anthologies of short stories); Strange Events is clearly a low budget program, but to me, it was simply unwatchable.

But, like shot on a phone, by your friends.

But by your talented and smart friends, who really show promise as filmmakers.

I really enjoyed it, I gave it a 7.

I liked the stories it tells, I enjoy indie horrors because they're fun, often innovative either out of creativity or necessity.

The production values acting and writing?

I told you I liked it, because I did.

For the production values think small town cable commercial, or forklift training video maybe? I can't say they're bad, these people aren't incompetent. But with this budget.

The acting isn't horrible, everyone played their parts, no one was reading off a card or stammering their way through.

I think the writing was pretty good.

It's very indie, very low budget, not "amateurish" and not incompetent. But if that's not your thing you probably shouldn't watch it. But hey, it's on prime, give it a look you can always quit.

This is one of those films where, after watching it I thought. I'd really like to see these guys get to make something with a real budget.

If you look at this movie poster and that movie poster from (The Haunting in Connecticut 2) you will notice both are the same, Did some one make an error, or is this a spoof of that movie,

The Haunting 2 came out much earlier then this movie,

Some of the ideas were pretty good, like actually made you go 'huh.'

Mostly the stories were rushed or meh. A lot of them made no sense at all either in how the characters got there or just 'why' in general. I get the short story idea but if you have absolutely no setup then it's hard to watch some event happen and understand it at all.

Put it on while you do other stuff. It's okay to glance at but dont expect a whole lot.
