Chambers

You have to accept quite a mixture of supernatural and also biblical ideas in order to be able to go along with the movie. If your mind gets triggered every time a ghost-like entity takes some action on screen then you will most likely not be happy here, I can recommend 'tabula rasa' for you, it's also not a shining monument of a TV-series, but it is better than Chambers.

Ok, let's say we go along with all the new-age philosophy of the series. Is it then good?

The first 5 episodes bored me a bit, not because there is nothing happening, but because they re-use a lot of clichés from other horror movies. The series looks like something we have seen again and again.

But this changes by the end of episode 5, where a normal horror movie would have simply put a stop. It then develops more into a thriller. A good one, for a while. But episodes 9 and especially 10 were a total let-down.

The start of episode 10 is badly executed - it is something I have waited for the whole time to see, a stand-off between two characters and it is done in the most uninspired way I could imagine.

The end resolves the main plot and leaves a number of cliffhangers, just to be able to make a second series.

One more thing that bothers me a bit is that the series wants to be for teens, twens and older people as well - which would be ok, but it tries to deliver something for every age group and that just leads to a number of scenes where I feel embarrassed by watching them.

In summare:

• bad: new-age spirtual nonsens
• very bad: beginning of episode 10
• bad: most likely should have been a pure teen-series, but tries to be more
• very good: how it all changed in episode 5
• good: acting
• good: one doesn't know which character is good/bad for a long time

So all in all I give it 6 stars, just to be fair, but it has a strong tendency towards 5.

I went in expecting more after reading the IMDb comments...got to say it was a tad disappointing. I don't regret watching it, but I've seen better. Worth a watch if you're bored.

Watchable but without fireworks. Very slow, heavy to watch. Only one thing I like about it is camera and Arizona climate. Except that, movie actually is boring, another strange Netflix series. In my opinion they spending too much money for poor production.

At episode 7 of the show I decided to look up about the actors and director that worked on it. I was interested how such a show was put together. It had been a bit since I have been invested in a show as this. The acting is not great at times mostly with Sasha's boyfriend but all in all I feel that it's pretty good especially for a lot of these actors first roles or major roles. The show has great pacing, great shot composition, interesting visuals and A story that's mystery keeps me watching. I would absolutely give this show a chance. A lot of garbage is on Netflix I honestly don't see how this is getting negative reviews when far worse shows get glowing. This show has a lot going for it and I look to the season 1 conclusion.

So first of all: the actors. Yes Uma, you did good, but what's up with the twenty-year old highschoolers? The unkle? The crazy attic-lady? Wow- how people think this is good acting escapes me. I had to burst out laughing at a couple of scenes and lines.

Production value? It feels like they ran out of money after the first episode and only had money for a simple red filter that they needed to use in every "scary" scene.

The plot is the dollar shop knock-off version of "Hereditary" (which I loved), and was trying hard to be something that it is not. I will grant the three stars because I did finish it and it was a fascinating waste of Netflix money to watch in a "what are they even doing" kind of way.
