Killer Legends

The two presenters here are certainly no Louis Theroux. Do you remember the really annoying guy that would try scare others with creepy campfire stories on school camps? Well he is back and this is his documentary. For such interesting subject matter, it's testament to the incompetence of the filmmakers that they somehow manage to balls it up so badly.

It comes across highly exploitative and cheap in nature, with the presenters far too often the center of the film, instead of the subject matter itself. It features 4 'very American' urban legends. It would have been better off split into mini episodes as part of a Netflix series hosted by someone like David Farrier - because it doesn't quite work as a documentary.

Just ends up being two amateurs pointing at trees in the dark. It tries too hard to be scary, with not only on-site nighttime footage, but cut-shots of horror movies loosely based on the urban legends. The documentary didn't even come to much of a conclusion on the subject of urban legends.

Don't watch if you have a fear of clowns - though that segment was by far the most interesting part.
