Overall, up until.the 7th episode I was willing to ignore the flaws and holes and felt it was a decent 7 star show. Then the last episode and a half happens and I couldnt handle the stupidity of the writing and flaws.

First the positives: Aesthetic is great, really feels like an apocalyptic world.

Walton Goggims is amazing. As the cowboy and the ghoul, he does an amazing job. His is also the best storyline and I wanted mote.

Ella Purnell also put in a solid performance as Sarah especially when she was playing the innocent woman from the shelter. However the horrible writing in the last 2 episodes even wastes her.

Now for the Bad:

Maximus is a terrible character and the actor who plays him is terrible. Hated him and his storyline.

Cringe Writing. If you can shut your brain off and not think about the plot, it can be quite enjoyable. I was able to do thus for 6 episodes but it was too much. Once you get to the end (last episode is by far the worst) and think about the rest of the series, it is a clown show. None of what happens makes any sense, their plans are stupid. Way too many coincidences and writing conveniences. Its a cast world yet characters continually run into each other. Certain storylines go nowhere.

This show was not horrible but not good wither. A total mixed bag. The Horrific writing ultimately makes it unrecommendable by me. The shame is with a tighter plot and better writing, this could have been great. By the way, I have never played the games.

They should have stopped at the last key. This one was silly and poorly written. The characters are completely unlikeable even the parents who i have always liked as characters and actors. The main character, Dalton was a complete tool, I didn't mind him getting haunted.

The movie was not very scary except for a couple of forced jump scares. Dialogue bordered on cringe throughout. The meeting of Dalton and the girl was cringe - really a housing snafu. Then they act like a married couple the rest of the movie even though they just met. Were the writers even trying?

Also what was the deal with the character Nick. He was totally superfluous to the story and seemed to be there only to mock a segment of men again. It made no sense and stuck out like a sore thumb.

I liked most of the insidious saga up to now. Even the lesser ones were at least decent This is not and I recommend all avoid this wreck. This is the worst horror movie I have seen in the last few years and I have seen a lot.

I am giving this a generous 6 (probably more like a 5.5) because ultimately it was a fun decent horror anthology. My problem is outside of two of the stories with ome being the wrapper story) the shorts do not feel finished satisfactorily as a complete story..

The first atory with the kids at the lake is a great idea but it never comes to anything and is incomplete and nothing is explained. It connects to another story about a crazy family which is the worst of the shorts. It is too predictable and still gives no closure to the koda im the lake story. It feels like that is artificially tacked together.

The story set in Mexico is my favorite. It is a complete atory with lota of scares particularly the claustrophobic kind. It was well done.

I have mixed feelings about the dream short bit i think it is the second best due to the gore. However it was very formulaic and predictable. It had some real stupid characters but overall was decent.

Finally the wrapper story about the alien found in the desert. It was unrealistic situation where an organism like this would end up at a lightly guarded college campus but i will ignore that. I thought the segments were interesting and the final act was cool. However it was kind of ruined by the joke scene at the end with the aerobics.

I almost forgot the technogod segment which is in the middle, It is understandable since this segment is very forgettable. The only good partofnit was the last 5 minutes of body horror. I could have also done without this one and wish they had found a better short

In summary the movie had flaws all over but did enough to keep me entertained. I wouldnt spend money to watch but if you can see for free it is worth a watch if you are into horror or the vhs movies.

.

Season 1 was fun. Episodes were well written and acted and were a good example of horror series. I rate this season a 7 and couldnt wait to see where this series would go.

Season 2 was a srep down and uneven. I would still recommenf most of the shorts.d Overall i would rate this season as a 5.

Season 3 is a total collapse of the.show in quality and pretty much everything. Episodes arent real scary and most episodes are silly. The writing is just awful. I am not sure what the hell happened between season 1 and 3, its like a totally different show. Additionally politics creeped into season 3. I don't remember much lecturing in the first 2 but season 3 hits you over the head with it. It adds to the silliness as real world issues are shoe horned into these shorts. I don't think i will stick around to watch more as this series continues to circle the drain.

I went ahead and watched season 4. It came out in October so I had the halloween spirit and wanted to give this show another chance.

Season 4 is a little worse than season 2 bit far better than season 3z. I'd rate this season as a to 4.5. Episodes are pretty uneven but the problem is there aren't really any standouts which season 2 had. Thankfully the politics was toned down but not quite eliminated. There was one episode about the border again and another about white men bad and intolerant. In fact this season continued the heneral trend where for the most part white males are creeps, incompetent, and evil or in most casrs all 3. Again they didnt hit tou over the head with it like season 3 so it was tolerable but still there.

The moralw are messed up in this season too. Human life is treated so badly. In some cases the bad people win and in others family members and friends just die with no one caring about it. I understand its a half hour show but when a kids mom gets turned into a zombie,it should not be played for laughs. The protagonists are often morally wrong yet it is treated well.

Finally, most of the episodes were more comedy than horror. The series has always had some mix of them but there is too much comedy in this season in my opinion. Its better than season 3 but still not good.

Wow, this was bad. First, I liked the first Scare Package. It wasn't perfect but overall was very fun and had some good horror elements. The shorts were inconsistent but pretty fun.

Well thet must have used all their A, B, C, and D material on the first movie. This installment is neither fun nor witty. I had to take a break after the first two shorts because it was so bad.

First, the humor is non existent. The jokes and gags were not funny, I didnt laugh once. The shorts were poorly written, none of them would not even make the first movie. The wrapper story dowsn't go anywhere either.

Finally, it was dusted with wokeness. Not sure if this was supposed to be a dig at how wokeness has come into horror movies (unlikely) or if it was just done because they wanted to send that message (probably). Either way it pulled down the movie further. The first short which is the best (not good, just the best) literally ends in a lecture. Wow just what I'm looking for in a horror parody. There is more sprinkled in after that, including a speech on white privilige in the overarching story. Wow what fun.

In summary, avoid this movie even if you liked the first one like myself. It has none of the fun or charm of the first one and seems like a rushed sequel with no reason to exist.

The concept of the show is good. I like the idea of recreating snack foods and the way it was set up was good.

However the execution of this concept is terrible, Show just feels cheap overall. The hosts ate absolutely horrendous. The man is useless and the woman has the personality of a piece of wood. Why have two hosts this bad?, it would have worked with just the woman She is bad but would have been passable.

The judges are the beat part of the show, they know their stuff and present well. AGAIN WHY DO WE HAVE ANY HOSTS?, the judges could have done it better.

My final critique is the contestants. Most of them seem no better than home chefs and don't even come close to producing something close to the snack or something that would be desirable to eat. Knowing Netflix, they were probably more worried about diversity then finding people who could cook.

Decided to watch this show after hearing how great it was. I like good comedies and had beeen a huge Office fan so i thought I would love it.

Well, let me say I don't understand all the love this show is getting after getting through season 1. The Office is exponentially better than this.

First, the premise and characters are unbelievable. Even in this situation, a football coach would never be hired to be in the premier league. The titular character does not come actoss as a football coach at all. I am pretty good at suspending belief buy this is a tough hurdle to get over.

As got the show, it is not much of a comedy. If I smile twice in an episode, its a miracle. Whats worse, as the season progresses, the jokes get stale. We get it theres differences between America and Britain.

The show is not a total disaster. Some of the characters are interesting and you wish them well. The story is sort of interesting for a bit but gets boring by end of season. It is a decent light hearted drama but it is no Great show. 20 years ago, this show would have been cancelled and not made it to a season. Speaks for thw lavk of good shows around now.

One more nit, the overall story is a ripoff of Slap Shot and Major League. They were all about an owner who was sabotaging their team but the coaches and pkauers rally to defeat them. The only difference is those other movies were actually funny and way better.

This movie started out great. If you had asked me to rate it half way though, i would have rated it in the 8 range. Second half of the movie gets boring and in a few points kind of silly. Its one of those movies too where the ending negates what happened in the movie and makes it frustrating. And as others have said, nothing overtly scary happens (some scary images but it goes no where) so i wouldnt even consider it horror, it is definitely more sci fi.

It is not horrible but barely worth the watch.

Completely unenjoyable trash. I loved the first Wonder Woman but this was an utter disaster. About the only good parts are the first 10 min where WW is a child and the Lynda Carter cameo. None of the rest made sense, villains were awful, action scenes were subpar and infrequent. The movie gets downright silly over the last hour, could barely ride this train wreck out. I don't know how this was the final product, felt like they were trying to flip off their viewers.

Acting and action was great. Plot has some serious holes that you could drive semis through. But if you can set aside plot issues, it is a fun action movie.
