Strange Events

If you look at this movie poster and that movie poster from (The Haunting in Connecticut 2) you will notice both are the same, Did some one make an error, or is this a spoof of that movie,

The Haunting 2 came out much earlier then this movie,

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.

Several short movies presented as strange events in an original way..some stories are good and some are not so good but can be interesting

But, like shot on a phone, by your friends.

But by your talented and smart friends, who really show promise as filmmakers.

I really enjoyed it, I gave it a 7.

I liked the stories it tells, I enjoy indie horrors because they're fun, often innovative either out of creativity or necessity.

The production values acting and writing?

I told you I liked it, because I did.

For the production values think small town cable commercial, or forklift training video maybe? I can't say they're bad, these people aren't incompetent. But with this budget.

The acting isn't horrible, everyone played their parts, no one was reading off a card or stammering their way through.

I think the writing was pretty good.

It's very indie, very low budget, not "amateurish" and not incompetent. But if that's not your thing you probably shouldn't watch it. But hey, it's on prime, give it a look you can always quit.

This is one of those films where, after watching it I thought. I'd really like to see these guys get to make something with a real budget.

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