Hometown Legends Episode 8 Reacciones
This episode felt really disjointed to me. I was having trouble even figuring out what the point of the story was well into the episode. However, the mythology of this episode was interesting. At least the ghosts have a reason to be doing what they're doing. It's not just another 'ghost out for revenge on the person who killed her' type of story. On the other hand, this episode really is rife with cheesy effects and distracting music. The horror elements are comical rather than scary (and not in an entertaining way).
The director-writer team is the same as the one for episode 2, which was my least favorite until I watched this episode. I thought the writing was weaker in episode 2, but it may be the directing that causes problems in this one. Either way, I guess I'm not a fan of this particular director-writer team. The acting in this episode felt like some of the weakest as well, but it may be in part because I was confused or just completely checked out about what was happening to the characters a lot of the time. Which I guess would be a directing issue. You can't expect me to care about weeping characters when I have no idea why they're crying, because the story hasn't gotten there yet.
Anyway, not a great episode. I don't mind too much because it's only an hour, but there are much stronger episodes in this series than this one.
