With all the negative reviews of this show I found it important to point out a few things. For one this is a show that is made from cult horror directors/writers and its on nbc. Two most of the directors where not happy with that fact that they had to choose from a small selection of scripts and didn't have a lot of time to prepare for their episodes. On the other hand its the only network TV horror show on this summer and props to nbc for that. Spooked and Community are the two bright spots in the series thus far, in sickness and health and new years day where not very good. All the other episodes were very watchable for horror fans. Im not going to give this show a rating cause its not important. Look in it in this theory i rather have a bad football team in my city(cleveland) then none at all. All over I was disappointed with this series but ill give nbc and mick and his crew credit for trying to bring the show to network TV.

Feels like a pg-13 mix between Vacancy and The Devils Rejects

With that beings said its pretty good overall. This isn't going to be graded high by actual horror fans, but the average moviegoer will like it. Acting was above average for a horror film, Vilonce was low, most of the horror came from suspense. Horror came from mostly sounds and music and cheap thrills. (pg-13 jump out scenes really)Kind of has a court TV feel to it when the movie opens. I looked over at my brother when I saw where the movie was going, and said this may actually be good. The suspense at first is a bit scary but it never goes anywhere,and it gets old fast. Ending was weak, Cheap tag-lines near the end that could have been left to one's imagination. Cool for a pre-summer horror movie but wont be remembered through the year as a whole or years to come.
