Urban Legend

I was a bit hesitant about watching this series at first as I have not had much luck finding decent horror anthologies besides Del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities. By no means am I putting this series in that league. It's not, however I find each story that I watched entertaining enough, and production values and the acting was fairly decent.

I would have of course liked to see them more closely follow the urban legends they seem based off, instead of going a bit 'out there' with them. Which is especially the case of the 2nd one in the series.

However, they are watchable and kept me wanting to see what was happening next.

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.

This series was disappointing. Each ending left me wanting more. Many of the stories had decent build-ups but the payoffs just felt non-existent or lacking. None of the episodes left a lasting impression.

Repeat for character count

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.

I've always loved horror, whether it's your typical gore kind of horror, creepy horror, disturbing horror, or psychological horror. Horror has a broad range in its meaning for me in the sense that I view them from a "it can happen in real life" perspective.

Jumping into this series was enjoyable and I love mini horror shorts, anthologies that tell individual stories like visual book chapters. This started strong and keeps your attention throughout each episode, and the filmmaker discussion at the end of each anthology adds a perfect touch to the entire series. This is especially because I love taking deeper dives into how films are created, how a thought behind a project, a creature, a story becomes a film; and becomes bigger than what it began as.

Telling stories in artistic form, especially in filmmaking is amazing and I'm always here for it. I hope this series continues because you come to appreciate it for what it is.

You will enjoy it.
