Featured review
Technically proficient but lacks narrative
Channel 7 is an analog horror series with the episodes centering around the titular Channel 7 tv station in the 80's and 90's with all entries being snippets taken from the channels programming where various strange happenings occur.
The episodes are mostly very well made with the faux vhs quality video and emergency broadcasts mostly very well done.
The problem lies with the narrative, either there isn't one or the creators made it so vague that it's almost impossible to follow. Some of the entries are creepy and do have a standalone narrative but these series work best when there's an overarching story being told but there just ins't one here to make the series interesting.
A lot of the videos have text flash on the screen for a micro-second and hidden messages portrayed in ways like morse code or binary code but all this does is make the viewer have to do more work for little reward.
The creators really needed to come up with some kind of a plot first and then base the episodes around this. There are various theories available on youtube but really it shouldn't be this difficult to get some kind of a plot from the episodes.
I give the creators credit for their technical proficiency but huge work is needed on narrative writing.
