Director fail ...again. Really?

Warning: Spoilers
Again, why is the director so afraid of moving the camera into the action at times? I don't understand with having an actor deliver their dialog when they are off camera, but only 8 feet away from the other actor? Was there two directors? I ask because at times it looks like a first year director was behind the camera, and at other times the use of lighting and camera angles was spot on. How about some consistency? Often the tension was lost by not moving the camera into the action. I felt outside the action, and thus could care less what was happening. I also find it highly annoying to watching peoples back when they are delivering a performance for the other actors.

The actors delivered a solid performance in every scene, and the background music was effective in setting mood and building tension. Special effects were much better this episode. Well done!

This story is a diversion from the story we saw in the firs two episodes. It is well written, and builds on the haunted town theme. If the director had used lighting and camera angles correctly this could have easily been the best episode of the series.
