Channel Zero

I personally enjoyed all 4 seasons. My favorite season of course is the first season but that doesn't take away from the following seasons. This is one of the few shows that still manage to scare me. I'm a big horror fan and stumbled upon the show a few years back. The scary parts aren't cliche or cheap. The filming allows for build up and "keeping you on the edge of your seat". Also plot twists are refreshing and unexpected. There are some plot holes but still a solid show. The makeup and costume is great, really scary! Overall really recommend the Channel Zero.

Well, I have watched season one and season two. Out of those I would only recommend to watch the latter.

Season 1 Candle Cove: The plot isn´t bad and the acting is okay...but the characters are dull and lifeless. They all lack in personality, and I don´t think there´s anything likeable about any of them. I also think the dialouge is very poorly developed, and unfortunately this distracts plenty from what is actually happening in the series. Maybe Candle Cove would have been better off with a different lead actor, because honestly, he´s kind of a bore.

Season 2 No End House:I liked this one much better. The plot is fascinating and psychologic. The actors are all doing a good job, and you get to know the characters better than the ones in Candle Cove. All in all, I think this season is well made, although it can be a bit over the top-dramatic sometimes. I definetely recommend wathing this season.

There aren't too many horror series so I was pleased to find this on HBO. Absolutely loved seasons one and two, especially two. The atmosphere is super creepy and I liked the slow pace. Camera work and lighting, set design etc are very good, as well as the understated acting. The whole package is pretty unique and much more "serious" than for example American Horror Story (atleast the seasons I've seen).

But then season three turned me off completely. Seemed to be geared more towards gore and disgusting visuals. The story is somewhat interesting as well as some scenes are pretty effective, but I had to turn my head away too many times to enjoy the season 3 as a whole. Too bad, looking forward to seeing season 4.

This is an anthology horror series on Syfy and lasted four seasons. Each season is six hour-long episodes dealing with one story. It's a horror series of slow-burning, visually inventive, and hauntingly creepy stories.

First season Candle Cove. In 1988 Iron Hill, Ohio, young Mike lost his identical twin Eddie as the last of five murdered kids. The four other bodies were found without their teeth. The case remains unsolved. Mike Painter (Paul Schneider) becomes a famous child psychiatrist and is haunted by nightmares. He reconnects with his mother Marla Painter (Fiona Shaw) back home. His childhood friend Gary Yolen has been elected sheriff. Gary and his wife Jessica are concerned about their girl Katie. She and other kids are obsessing over an old unseen children's TV show called Candle Cove as before. There is a slow burn going on in the show. It's a struggle to watch week to week but it works much better as a binge. There are shockingly cool horror visuals and ideas.

Second season No-End House. Best friends Margot Sleator (Amy Forsyth) and Jules Koja (Aisha Dee) join J.D. and Dylan on a haunted house tour. It's a popular exhibit named The No-End House in the suburbs at a dead end street with six strange rooms. The group goes in with others and has mind-bending experiences. Margot and Jules stagger out alone. After they leave, they experience ususal happenings in the real world. Margot's dead father (John Carroll Lynch) comes back to life. I'm happy that the characters know that it's not the real world. Margot's dad is the only non-real character that I'm interested in. It's a rather slow burn. The kids do a lot of walking in the empty suburban streets. There are some interesting ideas but it needs more tension. In that sense, it is very much like the first season.

Third season Butcher's Block. There's a stairway to nowhere. Alice is new to the city leaving behind her mother after a troubling incident. Her disturbed sister Zoe shows up. Her new job is to evict people from a rundown neighborhood called the Butcher's Block. It was the home to an old slaughter house run by Joseph Peach (Rutger Hauer).

Fourth season The Dream Door. Newlyweds Jillian and Tom move into their house. They and their friend Jason find a mysterious door suddenly appear in the basement. Jillian finds a disturbing figure from her childhood.

I enjoyed this show and look forward to seeing how they build upon it. I like the format of 6 episodes although it seems a little stretched out for this story.

I grew up a big fan of shows like The Twilight Zone, Tales From the Dark Side, Outer Limits and Tales from the Crypt so shows like this intrigue me.

I thought the atmosphere of the show was excellent and also the slow building tension. The show definitely makes you uncomfortable. Only drawback was it was a little too slow at times and you were waiting for something to happen. Acting was decent though and direction was great. I like the effects they used as well on a small budget. Cheers and I look forward to hopefully great things as the show continues.
