I really enjoyed watching Evil. I binge watched it shortly after the series ended. I didn't know a lot about it before watching. I'd only seen one short clip of it before, but I was definitely intrigued. I'm a huge horror fan and while I'm not currently religious, I've always been fascinated by religion and the occult. I'm always finding new ways to learn more about those sorts of things. Evil had the potential to be a great show, but it fell short. It got less "scary" / creepy and suspenseful as the show went on. It got more explicit with the profanity and sexual content instead. The comedic relief was good most of the time, but other times just plain corny. There were some pretty big plot holes every season and I can see how that might be irritating to some viewers. I tend to be a pretty critical viewer, but I was able to look passed it for the most part. If you can accept it and just enjoy it for what it is, Evil is worth watching. It's fun and quirky while also going pretty dark at times. I enjoyed the more thought-provoking scenes about morality, manipulation, spirituality, and realism. Don't expect a lot of those though. It's just not that kind of show. Most of the acting was believable and the cast had pretty good chemistry with each other. I liked the different dynamics and complex relationships the characters had. That's the main thing that grounded the show and made it relatable. The ending of the series was anticlimactic in my opinion. It's a cliff hanger but not the good kind. You can expect more unexplained plot holes. Overall, Evil is entertaining though. I would have kept watching if the series continued.

Not bad for a low budget horror flick. Cobweb is a typical, somewhat predictable thriller. It's entertaining though. It held my attention the whole time and the actors who played the 3 main characters (Peter and his parents) were all really good and believable. The ending scene was a bit lackluster and nonsensical in my opinion, but other than that, I enjoyed this movie. It's creepy and maintains an element of suspense despite the fact that I figured out the plot twist before it was revealed. The cheesy special effects towards the end were a bit off putting, almost comical really, but that's to be expected in these sort of b rate horror movies. If you're a horror fan like I am and you've seen the worst of the worst, you won't hate this. If you're hoping for something truly scary or disturbing, you'll be very disappointed. Overall, Cobweb is just average. Mediocrity is not always a bad thing. Sometimes, I appreciate an easy fun watch like this one. It's giving Goosebumps / The Haunting Hour but with a few curse words and a bit more violence / gore lol.

I'm a horror lover and I'm especially a zombie fanatic, so I've seen just about every zombie show and movie at this point. I'm sure this makes me more critical when it comes to films in this genre. I also watch Korean films and series pretty often. Train To Busan was not bad, but in my opinion, it's not a must-see either. It's a decent zombie flick that attempts to tug at your heartstrings. It failed to do that for me, but I did really like a few of the characters. The actors all had great chemistry with each other. I also liked that we see the zombie virus affect animals in this movie. We don't see that enough in the zombie genre. As for things I did not like about Train To Busan, the first thing that comes to mind is how highly unrealistic most of it was (not including the obvious fact that zombies are not real). The characters' reactions were ridiculous at times. They made a pregnant woman do some nearly impossible things swiftly and silently. What they accomplished in "2 minutes" in the tunnels would have to have been more like 5 - 10 minutes at least. Unless I'm watching something in the high fantasy genre, I find it distracting when multiple things are way too far fetched. Also, why was the zombies' eyesight so poor but they can run fast, climb, and hear very well??? We don't get any kind of explanation for the virus other than a couple of vague mentions of a power plant or something contaminating a river, but it really made no sense. I would rather there be no explanation than a poorly written / executed one. Some scenes drag on for way too long to the point where it's just annoying and a waste of time. I didn't completely hate the ending, but it was lackluster at best. Some of the acting in this movie was actually really good and believable while others not so much. Overall, Train To Busan showed promise but was pretty anticlimactic in my opinion. It's entertaining enough, but could have easily been improved.
