Same thing as the 2021 series. They just made it into a movie. I watched the preview on Prime's "new releases" and then looked at the date given as 2024. I knew I'd seen this before and it was good, to be honest. But how can you claim this is new when the only thing that's changed is the format? There's all these reviews praising the new indie film but it ain't new. At best it's a recycled film, at worst a rerun.

The crazy part is this version got a better rating than the series. I really did enjoy the series but this is just plain lazy. What a shame. I was hoping it was new material. I'll wait.

The idea is great, if you like shows like Supernatural, Dead Boy Detectives, Lockwood etc. The acting isn't top notch, but considering it was a load of actors who don't have a lot of top level screen time to their names I thought it was passable. The production level was definitely low level, and that brought to light the other flaws.

I really would have liked more episodes to see how they would work this concept beyond the confines of the tin can subway which served as the central location for the five episodes they did have. A bigger production company might be able to make this a really enjoyable show for the masses.
