South of Hell: Caçadores de Demônios

Watching the show brought me south to hell for sure ...

I forced myself through episode 1, which was hard enough.

The introduction was without love and very clumsy, not giving room for charakter development. It just felt like the intro of a cheap 90s series. Like a cheap combination of Buffy and Supernatural.

After episode 2 i stopped trying to give the show a chance.

The actors can surely do better, but with scripts like this there is not much room.

In summary: Poorly written show with poor special effects, cheaply produced. The cast that has potential, that's the only reason why i give 3 stars instead of 1.

Tedious Melodrama with some demonic serving on top. It has the back and fort circular tragic nonsense copy pasted from the pulp series Supernatural. Except it tries to be the dark and profound version of that forgettable pleasure, forgoing any humour or light pop corn moments the series might have had.

No monsters, no lore: a single multi layered tragedy that doesn't captivate.

It tries to be a dark and sinister crawl, gives up on that around episode 4 and then bashes your brain pan in with repetitive junk.

You'd best skip this one.

The accents are laughable, borderline bad, forced and inconsistent. The acting is not so great. This is probably due to the writing. I'm into just the second episode. The special effects are good enough to make you almost gag at times - for example when Annabel eats. I love Annabel's eyes. The way they portray the characters possessed is slightly different.

At this point, however, I am starting to root for Annabel and the demons.

And what is up with the mild mannered, cool and collective, sometimes strong arms, persistent priest? Is he really a Catholic priest, priest or just some guy pretending to be one?

I was a bit excited to hear of this. It could be a nice addition to all the horror and fantasy I usually watch.

I hate to say that it is dead inside. Bad grime and cheap fun lenses. The special effects are horrible. I read that somebody said that they just need a bigger budget, but I'm afraid that that's not it. You can build more suspense with less budget. What I saw was cheesy and bad choices in grime.

Even if they can look better with more budget, they have to work on the chemistry between the actors. There was none. They were saying lines and not reacting to one and other. The storyline.. was there a storyline? I got the feeling they all just sat around for thing to just happen.

I'm not recommending this show to anyone, unless you like cheesy hallmark series and like to be naughty for once, and not be damaged inside.

The whole season was so boring plus the demon thing doesn't suit well. Although you can watch it if you want a timepass series.
