I found the screenwriting to be very weak and lacking. By episode 3 I stopped caring about the characters in this series. The comedy aspect was redundant and dragged on and on. Michelle Williams is a very good actress, but the material made so much of this story uninteresting as you wait for the inevitable ending. I felt like this series would have worked better as a 90 minute movie. It would have allowed the story to be much tighter and compact. Eight episodes was way too long and once you lose compassion for the lead character you're essentially just waiting and waiting for the misery to be done.

I was looking forward to seeing this film after it garnered some attention. First off the use of a single camera and horrible lighting ruin this movie right from the jump. It then goes into a tired retread of how not to deal with a human monster. It's fairly comical, but it's certainly not intended. It lumbers on to make a 90 minute film seem like 4 hours as you squint at a poorly lighted screen to try to figure out what's going on. The acting is as wooden as it gets. You feel no sympathy for the victims or the monster, which makes it difficult to care about anything that's happening. The gore is also ruined by the lightning issues. How the director could have sat in the editing room and not realized he has about 13 minutes of usable footage is beyond me. This movie is a straight up hard pass.

I'm unclear about all the high reviews attached to this film. The script was most likely written on a beverage napkin. The actors can't save such a bland and pointless mess of a movie. It drags on and to the blatantly obvious conclusion.
