Season 1, Episode 13
3/10
Worst of the bunch!

Warning: Spoilers
I'll keep this brief.

This entry into an already poor collection is the worst of the bunch. This episode failed on every front: cinematography, writing, acting, dialogue, score and once again, and especially, the writing. The scenario and one of the main "scares" is clearly ripped off from a cult horror film that any fan will immediately recognize. The plot is just a series of gaping holes strung together. I spent nearly the entire thing saying "what?" to myself and trying to figure out if it was made to be intentionally terrible and waiting for the punch line. It never came. I could sit here and list all of the ridiculous holes and sloppy mistakes (like barricading a door from the wrong side, yet somehow the barricade keeps the thing trapped in the room) but there isn't enough room here. Although, the effects look good. That's why it gets a 3 instead of a 1. Even if they spent the whole budget on em, that's no excuse. The biggest problem is the writing. Truly sloppy and amateurish. Don't waste your time.

On the other hand, if you wanna see what a truly awful waste of time looks like...
