totally disagree. i didn't like it at all. although you can't judge a horror anthology by one story.

thats the whole thing tho, each is like its own movie so you can hate the first 10 and then find #11 to be amazing

I thought... hmmm. It wasn't really good. But again, almost frustratingly... it wasn't 'that' bad. The characters were not interesting, the music score for the episode was cliched and unimpressive (just like every horror movie today- copy everyone else's score), the villain was not cool (that vampire hopping on the boards was so stupid), some of the dialogue was just plain stupid, and the story fell flat.
Something specific really bothered me - first, they establish that the girls are basically immigrants from "Romania" who talk in sort of old-English. But, the "busty" sister (a rip-off, undoubtedly, of Ginger from Ginger Snaps) is seducing the guys and talking like a Playboy Playmate, even though she's supposed to not be of our time and watch any TV. Who came along and started words like "sexy" in front of her? Where'd she pick up the cliched femme-fatale behavior? She talked too much and gave herself away.
But some of the parts of the episode were okay. I particularly liked the sisters constantly swinging the axes. Just out of nowhere, one of them has an ax and their swinging it. It looks good on camera. I especially loved that short moment after she hits Lemon in the head and drops the ax and I think the speed slows down and it hits the cabin floor so slowly and kind of echoes. That was a cool little moment. And the story was almost interesting for a while... until they got toward the end and it was people hiding in a cabin hiding from a monster. What was the point, really?
We'll have to see what happens next week.

i did think it was a little bit of a letdown to find out the thing was a vampire, i was hoping for something more sinister, when she first sewed the guys mouth up that really got my atttention and i thought we were gonna be in for a real mean spirited episode, but like i said overall it was good enough, and since each one is gonnna be completely diff there is really no reason to not watch them all
also laz you looked into it to much

when she first sewed the guys mouth up that really got my atttention I thought when that happened, this was going to be an episode about witchcraft. In literature / myth / legend / folklore, witches sewed up people's mouths. like i said overall it was good enough Good enough for what? since each one is gonnna be completely diff there is really no reason to not watch them all Unless the power goes out during one of the airings, I'll watch them all as well, no matter how bad future episodes might be. laz you looked into it to much T, we've already been over this. It's finished. We've already come to the conclusion that you don't like hearing what I have to say, so you tell me things that are not true to discourage me from saying them. Wake up, I'm not changing for you because you're not smart enough to understand these things and think of them yourself. You should be used to this by now.

good enough for what it was, a short little movie on network cable

i was talking about the whole sedcing thing, #1 who the fuck cares and #2 its really not as absurd as you make it out to be, its female nature, havent you even seen a nature show where a bird opens its wings to show its colors to get a male, its female nature to be as sexy as you can to get what you want
and about the dialogue, music camera angles and all that crap, its not about being smart, i just simply dont care

it was pretty predictable. that was one of the things i loved so much about masters: it wasn't predictable (most of the time). But not a whole lot more can be said about the series until we see it next week.

i was talking about the whole seducing thing, #1 who the fuck cares Um... it's a piece of film. So, a film fan cares. You're talking to a film fan and you keep giving people the impression you're a film fan as well. So, I care, you should care, and fans of films care too. and #2 its really not as absurd as you make it out to be, its female nature, havent you even seen a nature show where a bird opens its wings to show its colors to get a male, its female nature to be as sexy as you can to get what you want So you're saying a female human being has the same mental, emotional, psychological maturity and intelligence as a bird? and about the dialogue, music camera angles and all that crap, its not about being smart, i just simply dont care Well then, don't reply to my posts. Mmmkay? If you don't care, you shouldn't have a problem with what I say. And if you do have a problem with what I say... Guess what : I just simply don't care. Get it?

no im giving an example that you can be as smart as a human or as dumb as a bird but a female still knows how to flaunt what she has to get something
Well then, don't reply to my posts. Mmmkay?
If you don't care, you shouldn't have a problem with what I say. And if you do have a problem with what I say... Guess what : I just simply don't care.
Get it?
i only did because you implied that it made you smarter because you care about those things, dont say dumb things, we have went over this numerous times

im giving an example that you can be as smart as a human or as dumb as a bird but a female still knows how to flaunt what she has to get something Okay, first of all, well like I said the episode was not very good. So for me, that is not good enough. Now, with that, second of all - this episode could at least be somewhat accurate. These sisters are not only Romanian immigrants with different customs than Americans, but they are supposed to have different accents when speaking and these girls didn't have those, but also- remember- they clearly said that they don't have TV and don't know modern slang and lingo, nor modern behaviors. She was talking like a girl on an American teen TV show. Her behavior wasn't right, her accent wasn't right, nothing was right. And even if you can forgive that... what did she do anyway? Throw a guy in a pit and hit another guy with an ax handle. So, nothing happened anyway. The show wasn't anything new or inventive. So AT LEAST they could have gotten the cultural / technical details right. Whether you care or not. i only did because you implied that it made you smarter because you care about those things, dont say dumb things, we have went over this numerous times Well you're the one who keeps saying "smarter." Not me. So, you wish I were acting like I was better than everyone else. In reality, it's just you who I'm better than. And you know why? Because you keep turning this into a competition. If you do that, you'll never do anything right. Let me tell you how so you will finally stop doing this - you keep complaining about how well I see these movies. Stop. It's that simple. Don't tell me you can't control yourself. If you don't like what I'm saying - accept it. If you don't like the way I watch these movies - deal with it. Get it yet?

you are so warped its not even funny, you are the one who turns everything into a competition and always brings up who is smarter, when it comes to watching a movie no1 is smarter, you just like to complain and bitch about every little thing, you have a complaint about every single movie, id say its about time you just stop watching horror because you dont seem to enjoy anything, i dont let little dumb crap bother me, was that episode great?? no was it good for a premiere on a network cable station?? it was certainly good enough for that, had i spent money on it i would have felt let down, but i was able to enjoy it for what it was
what you really need to do is stop being so insecure tho, you are not smarter then anyone here, you do not see more then anyone here, and your opinion isnt more important then any1 elses here, i know you like to think all that is true, but its not, not at all

you are so warped its not even funny You wish. What you actually mean is that I don't accept your lies and bullshit and twisting of the truth. you are the one who turns everything into a competition No, I'm the one who ends it. You keep it going. You keep putting logs on the fire. You keep the insults up, because you want to fight with people. If it wasn't me, you would find somebody else. when it comes to watching a movie no1 is smarter That's what you say, I've never said that. you just like to complain and bitch about every little thing Incorrect again. And if you are correct about this and I'm wrong - prove it. you have a complaint about every single movie Oh really? Did I "complain" about The Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Squirm? Think back, there's a lot of other movies I haven't "complain"ed about. I'd say its about time you just stop watching horror because you dont seem to enjoy anything You know my theory on this. Do I have to repeat it again? Because if I do, that would indicate that you have a listening problem. what you really need to do is stop being so insecure tho Look who's telling me I'm insecure - the guy who freaks out whenever a black person says something he doesn't like. Anytime a black person has a problem, you say all black people complain about everything. Listen to yourself, T. You really like to label people, twist things, and attack people. You have a real problem. And I'm not going to take a person like you seriously until you wise up. you are not smarter then anyone here Hey - like I always say and you never seem to pay attention to - it's a case by case basis. You're the one who keeps saying that I say I'm smarter than other people. I've never said that. you do not see more then anyone here I see more than you. You prove that every time we argue. your opinion isnt more important then any1 elses here I never said my opinion was more important than anyone else's. If I thought it was, I would say that everyone should eat only the food that I eat. Everyone should listen to only the music I like to hear. Everyone should be a homosexual. Have I ever said that? You have no case against me. You've got nothing on me. You're never going to prove anything until you shut up and start thinking about what's been said here. You never take the time to think. You shut your mind down and you just react. That's not smart. So, maybe I am smarter than you. Because I've actually thought this out. It's a great character asset - being able to think things out. You should try it sometime. It might do you a world of good.

doesn't sound too interesting but i'll watch it anyway. i can just download the torrent from isohunt. if you ever miss an episode of a show you like you can just type in the name of the show there and you'll be able to find a torrent for the episode.

That's exactly what I think. I liked Eric too in the episode. I didn't even think he was such a bad guy. I mean, he seemed to have mended his ways after being fired as a cop. Plus, when he was a cop, he saved that kid. So, right away I had to agree that his torture methods were okay. That's what these crime-TV shows make us do. We have to agree with the torture if it saves someone. Which is exactly why I hate Dramas. But I don't know what they could have done to make it more horror oriented. I'm also going to say I think this episode is worse than The Sacrifice, because it was much more cliched than The Sacrifice. At least during Sac, my mind was thinking about what's going to happen next. The twists at least made my brain go. Spooked had more style, but it was so much more cliched. As for next week's episode... I don't think I'm going to watch it at all. Not because of the first 2 episodes. But because it's clearly going to be all action and no horror. I might start watching the first few minutes and then just skip out when the story gives out.
