After episode 10 I decided to just watch the last three & review in a chunk, not to waste more time on this.<br /><br />The show could have worked if it didn't take itself so seriously; there was something fun about watching a menagerie of stereotypes being knocked off. The illogical character actions & additional nonsense that was tossed in to confuse people was maddening; very little made sense & I couldn't suspend disbelief any longer. But I'll keep my venting for that final review.Casual Debrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08098608670682517783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163165929158089008.post-43517086922425681362012-05-23T12:43:12.785-04:002012-05-23T12:43:12.785-04:00This was utter dreck.

I threw in the towel around espidoe three or four when one of the female characters was dispatched in a typically misogynistic and cruel manner and no one missed her. No one asked where she was, no one went looking for her. Not one person! I hate murder movies and slasher flicks where the characters cease to have any humanity and turn the into writer's puppets. It was all so contrived.<br /><br />To satisfy my curiosity I went trolling the internet looking for discussion groups and fan sites to find out what others thought of this. I also was wondering if I was right about my guess as to the killer. Apart from the usual gorehounds who watch these movies to revel in bloodshed, brutal and cruel murder methods, most of the brief reviews and opinions I read were of the same consensus - utter disappointment. They pretty much hated the ending which included a moronic "twist" by introducing a ... Oops, better not spoil it. But I have to say I pegged the killer with ease. It was obvious who the writers had chosen from the get-go. The "twist" was only added to mess up the story and confuse the viewers when the cast dwindled to about three or four people.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163165929158089008.post-56107989864079634452012-05-22T10:19:49.778-04:002012-05-22T10:19:49.778-04:00Yes, great hopes were held out for this series...t...Yes, great hopes were held out for this series...the cast alone was cause for some optimism...but, alas...Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.com
