I will forever be grateful for this series because it introduced me to horror. This is a fun alien, flesh monster body cosmic horror. Each video keeps getting beter and beter and by the end the format changes from typical analog horror format to "live action" moving animations. The videos have aged a bit watching them now but there's a certain charm to the 80s jazz and easy going lore dumps that are made by an independent artist. Putting the story together was one of the fun parts of watching this series. Compared to other analog horror from the same period I defiantly think gemini is one of my favorites and has a lot going for it. The lore seems really thought out and the visuals defiantly feed your cosmic horror fantasies. VERY EPIC.

This analog horror definitely isn't as good as I thought it'd be. It has a good concept, with woodcrawlers, deep root disease, and the Iris is especially cool. It's just executed poorly. My main problem with the series is it's nearly impossible to understand. I watched some episodes, such as Games for Kids and Old Bones, and it's very difficult to figure out what's going on. I'm not going to watch 2 3-hour Wendigoon videos to figure out what happened either. Old Bones is especially confusing. I like Arthur's journal, but there's a bunch of images flashing across the screen with little to no explanation. Good idea, decent execution.

I watched this along with two other movies deemed to be 'analog' horror, the other two being Local 58 and The Mandela Catalog. I enjoyed all three, but out of the three this one was my favorite as it was the longest of the bunch and it told such a creepy and insane story! Told in the form of videos that were at times instructional, at times advertisements and also simply informative.

The story is told in different ways each episode. Each episode sort of had its own theme to it. The first starts out as a video looking at wildlife, before getting totally creepy. The gist of this series is that there is something called 'woodcrawlers' that can take over a person, there also seems to be something horrific among the stars as well. Very good imagery within this thing as it does seem to have a budget behind it.

So many of the episodes were good, the last two though have some really disturbing and scary images. I salute the maker or makers of this series. They managed to create a strange threat and what seems to be an impending doom!

So, I did enjoy this one the most of the three I watched fully. I tried to watch the Walton Files, but that one did not work for me as it combined animation with live action in a way that kind of took me out of the mood. This one was just so entertaining and every episode gives you a different take on the terror that is apparently spreading rapidly through the world!
