The Unofficial Science of Home Alone (2022)
The sweet spot of both unfunny and dull
The premise had me interested, and then within 5 minutes it was clear that this would be a very dull affair. I love Guz and James, both very talented comedians, however in this programme that had nothing funny to say. Much of the time is taken up with them showing how the traps in home alone would cause catastrophic injuries (this is not news to anyone who has seen the film).
The show is interspersed with some sections with Alex Brooker going round Hollywood meeting one of the cast and a stuntman. All three comedians seem completely wasted in this show, that is neither funny or educational. It was like an overcooked turkey dry and disappointing. Please Sky don't bother with any more of these shows.
The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021)
A waste of a cast
I enjoyed the first, the 2nd was okay and this was awful. The story could only be described as dull, with the characters lumbering through a poorly contrived series of events. Even the jumpscares are telegraphed and are not effective. This was a mess, I am baffled at the high score on IMDB as it certainly does not deserve anyone's attention.
