Review of 50 States of Fright

The short form format doesn't do the show any favors because it becomes much too predictable. The whole urban legend/why it has to be a specific state is a gimmick, and it's even less prescent in season 2. But the overall production quality was good, some decent actors here and there as well though in general pretty iffy acting. But the directing and production design looked good too, gore as well. Being short episodes they had to resort to jump scares, now a jumps care done well with a strong buildup and not using cheap loud sounds is fine, but no the case here. Most of the audio is lowered so the scares blow your ears out.

Overall I liked the Scared Stiff story, Grey Cloud Island and Almost There the most. The worst story here being Red Rum imo. Bad kills, bad acting and loads of cringe.

I mean.. If you enjoy horror and want to watch some horror shorts..this would fit the bill. But I didn't really do much for me.
