Urban Legend

I don't understand the low ratings and bad reviews in here as I found this tv series quite entertaining. I don't expect to watch a psychological horror movie from Eli Roth and won't expect too much escalating horror due to the limited lenth of a TV episode (about 50 mins). And I also don't expect to watch every episode with brand new and unique ideas, it is becasue this project is about turning some urban legends we've heard before into TV graphic horror, probably with a little new idea and a twist, but these new ideas and twists won't be deviated far from the original urban legends, same situation in "American horror stories" as well. If you like Eli Roth's movie, bloody horror and jump scare stuffs, you would enjoyed this TV series.

Very sordid series. The graphic tale was not one I care to view. Blood and a plot for money is so the thing now isn't it? Would love to see original stories Then at the end of the story was lackluster and topped off by a director chat about how he created this hour long piece.

Seems to me it could have been less graphic. It just copied most of the slasher movies from a few decades ago.

It would be nice to see some legends that are real but not explored and a bit more entertaining. Just my thoughts. Watch the next episode and share what you find interesting. This is my first and last gorefest.

I was not impressed. Most of the episodes were just simply boring. There was maybe 2 episodes that were a bit better in atmosphere and story, but that wasn't nearly enough to carry the dead weight of the rest of the show.

The acting was not good but not horrible, mostly just weird. Stories had very little content which made them boring and felt prolonged. Production was clearly pretty cheap but not terrible.

Most of the episodes didn't really seem to me like an urban legends and those that did, were told very differently from the original - they added a lot of nonsense and boring stuff to fill the 40 something minutes.

I don't know why they haven't cancelled this show already.

The plot holes are SO annoying. In. Every. Single. Episode. You could drive an ocean liner through the many plot holes! Sad thing is they aren't hard to fix but there's just no care or concern to do so on the part of any of the directors as evidenced in Roth's sit down and chat with them. Roth's insistence that each and every particular urban legend is the most well known and widespread gets tiresome and phony since I've lived a lot longer than he has and never heard of half of theses and the one I heard the most isn't even done or mentioned. The acting wasn't all bad (depends on the episode). The show is worth a watch and INFINITELY better than Two Sentence Horror Stories.

It was a good concept but there are so many urban legends they could have done. Unless they are making a season 2. Which I hope they do bad or good its still a fun watch. Some of these are 100x better than season 3 of creepshow even some of season 2 of creepshows were bad. It was weird though how eli had interviews with directors in first couple episodes then nothing till episode 8. Here's my opinion on the season.

The best episodes were... the choking doberman.

The red room.

The scuba diver.

Episodes just ok.... the bite the white dress the creep in the walls

the worst episodes the harvest the haunted shower.
