Wow, this was a terrible episode. I hated the kids and wanted them to die. I don't watch Supernatural to see annoying people make home movies. And I would like to point out, that like many found footage movies, there are moments that are not plausible as found footage, like when camera angles change. When Sam and Dean came to the kids' house, there were angles that made no sense! I appreciate that Supernatural likes to throw in weird episodes now and then, but this was a big miss. I actually am writing this review as the episode is on because it can't hold my attention... and I am binge watching the show. This is the first episode that compelled me to write a review, and not for good reasons.

This movie it terrible! Yes, the effects are better then those in the original film, but that is the ONLY thing that is better. And I thought some of the effects were still pretty bad (particularly some of the stuff with the scorpions). The original story, the one in the original movie I mean, was very good… it was dated… but rather then just updating it, they changed almost everything. Sam Worthington really didn't seem right as Perseus… he seemed more like a Marine who somehow wound up in ancient times. And I hated that Perseus knew he was the son of Zeus all along… like he was the freakin' chosen one or something. And enough with the reluctant whinny hero. I liked it better when he was just a common guy (as far as he knew) who had to become extraordinary to save the woman he loved. The Gods are boring, and their shinny armor looks cheesy. I thought the Medusa part was actually pretty cool, but that was about all I liked. I didn't like that they took Calibos who, in the original film was the son of a lesser god who felt wronged by Perseus because he was once Andromeda's suitor, and they made him a two dimensional creature that just wants vengeance. And what is the deal with Hades giving him powers? Lame. Perhaps the lamest addition were the glowing blue-eyed desert dwellers. Io was a stupid character. I did like the cameo by Bubo, the owl. Don't be fooled by the preview, which makes it look pretty good... don't wast your money on this one.
