Strange Events

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.

At least two of these shorts I'd seen in another anthology.

If you've seen the movie VHS and enjoyed it there is a chance you'll like this. This film sort of reminds me of YouTube horror shorts, some are good some are not. Essentially there are a few short weird and inexplicable things happening to people in different places and different dates. For this to be on such a low budget and with mediocre acting some of the creepy parts are done rather well, I give credit to the director because the camera angles upped the scares. I liked that each story was short and to the point so whether you enjoyed it or not there wasn't much time spent on it. I do believe this is worth a watch and because I was perturbed and it kept my interest In going to give it a solid 6.

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.

I watched 20 minutes and had to turn off. The concepts are interesting but the application fails hard. An over-reliance on jump scares and harsh musical instrumentation mixed with bad acting and completely unbelievable actions-reactions from the characters was too much for me to handle.

The production values are good, but that's like praising the plates, knives and forks while eating a crap sandwich.

It seems all the good script writers and actors have retreated to their underground bunkers during Corona.

C'mon Gal, tell us again, were all in this together!
