So it took us to get to episode 7, to finally get some action in this series. This series was dragging itself into the depths, since the good start from the first episode. You can see my original review for this show, for my thoughts up to this point.
But anyway.... This show is still plagued by a tired story, overdone plot devices, unrealistic situations, and characters making some of the dumbest decisions you'll ever see(even by horror movie standards). I'll list a few of them.... SO HERE WE GO!!!
1. "Free Love Hippie House". Yes...the 'FLHH', probably the most idiotic thing in this show. Why on this green Earth, would you have a place, where you can sex all you want, do drugs freely, basically live by no rules, and be a part of a multi-aged Fraternity/Sorority House.... IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS!!!??? I have no problem with people living like this, under normal circumstances. By all means...live your life. But to live like this, in a place where the life and death stakes, couldn't be any higher? It's just ridiculous.
****And how is a teenage girl allowed to live in a place like this?*****
Yeah...let's get a bunch of high, drunk, and sex crazed people, in one big house, and let's see who does something stupid that gets everybody killed. In reality, a place like this would be run more like a bunker, or a foxhole, with people hunkered down to ensure survival. Especially with so many lives on the line.
And you have the big, tough Matriarch of the house, who fronts like she runs a tight ship. But of course she lets all of the these shenanigans go on right under her nose. And she even encourages this reckless behavior. But she does have to prove how tough she is, and punch out a man(this is a must nowadays). You know...the young man the idiot offended can't punch the guy...but the tough lady can. Yeah...okay(sigh).
2. "Boy Loves Monster". Yes...I'm not making this up. We have some nerd, who obviously doesn't get enough love and attention in the 'FLHH', so he falls in love with one of the monsters. This man is so in love with this lady monster, that he leaves wovely wittle flowers for her every night(I'm not joking). And in return...the lady monster shows up every night to the locked window, tells the nerd how much she loves him, and begs him to open the window for her. And of course she promises NOT TO KILL EVERYBODY IN THE HOUSE(sigh). And you don't have to be a rocket scientists to figure out what happens next. YES...the love starved nerd opens the window and lets her in. Of course she kills him, lets the other monsters in, and the feeding frenzy begins.
Seriously...the writers couldn't have come up with a more clever way to get the monsters into the house? There is horror movie stupidity, then there's this. This entire scenario was so bad...it was funny.
3. These monsters have to be some of the slowest creations I've seen in while. I agree that they do have a creepy design when they show their true forms, but their pace just isn't threatening. And when they're not slowly walking after you, they're just standing their smiling at you with a dumb, goofy grin full of sharp teeth. You go from actually feeling a small sense of dread, to bursting out laughing. How they would manage to catch anybody that's not trapped in a confined space, is beyond me?
4. The main family of the show, well.....they're just digging a big hole in their basement. Yep....that about sums that up. While their 15 year old daughter is living in 'FLHH'(eye roll).
Good to finally see some action, but that small bit of action, is not enough to keep carrying this klunker. This show is just too heavy handed on the excessive talking, bad writing, and and silly actions by the characters.
