Stories that go nowhere / cliffhangers
12 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
As the title suggests - these episodes are pretty much stories that go nowhere or that end abruptly and we're left with no explanation at all of what something was happening.

Some episodes that are worth watching are (in my opinion): Tunnel, Hanging balloons, Tomb town and maybe Layers.

But even these episodes give no explanation at all of why the paranormal stuff was happening.

I suppose Layers is kind of giving us an explanation: their father disturbed an ancient grave and now the curse was transmitted to his family.. but what led to the existence of layered people? How did that happen? Did they cut an ancient sacred tree and now they were cursed to live their lives like a tree trunk? We don't know.

It feels like the idea for a movie or for an episode that was just a phrase was put that into 10 minutes of animation.

Intruder presents a teenager and his friends that see him from another dimension burring his friends in his backyard.

And basically that's it.. we don't know why he killed his friends in the other dimension, we don't know how he travels from one dimension to another, and most importantly we don't know what is he going to do forward regarding this. At the end they just seem pensive of this and burry back their corpses from the other dimension. What??

In Mold a young man lends his brand new house to his former teacher to live in for a few months while he's away and when he comes back the house is a mess. There's mold everywhere that in the end engulfs everything, even him. At some point we're told that the teacher's baby looked like it was made of mold. Ok... How did that even happen? Were they mold people from the start? Were they cursed? Was the house cursed? We don't know. It's just mold that grows and grows.

They seem like 10 - 20 min fast forward stories.

I don't know.. it's a shame honestly. I really thought they were nice ideas, but the execution was just so disappointing.
