Scream: The TV Series (TV Series) Village of the Damned (2016) User Reviews

The teeny boppers fall out, again.

It's another episode I'd have to class as a bit of a mixed bag. The ending is great, all you could ask for it a slasher series, it's visual, exciting, and has a few surprises.

One of the drawbacks of a slasher series is exposed here though, as the format is long drawn out in comparison to a ninety minute film, they don't have the luxury of being able to bump off the regulars, as there'd be no suspense and no character play, so instead they focus on story.

The story here was a little teen drama for my liking, all that high school angst, the relationship stuff was pretty boring I thought.

A beauty pageant in the middle of a serial killer hunt? I'm not sure anyone would be that moronic. Good on Brooke for highlighting it.

Ok, but a great ending, 7/10.

Another Great Chapter

Actual critic here, and I have to say this is not one of the best episodes of the season but it is a pretty good episode, and I give a 10 out 10 because it was clever writing and Audrey wasted a lot of the tea by accident to Emma, can't wait for the next episode though. It really just brings out a lot of character and the next chapter for scream. So we see Brooke getting drunk, while getting drunk she is also spilling the truth about Lakewood into a whole murder city, its dark secrets. Audrey notices that Emma heard the tape about Piper and the killings, Ouch and also it's getting harder and harder to decide who is the killer, as the point of now the killer can be anybody. In my words the killer isn't the obvious nor is the people we see, or is it.

There is more teen drama than horror.

To recap after last week's brutally thrilling episode, the towns annual fair is happening with the killer on the loose, and Emma learns more of Keiran and Eli. The first problem (well, reason this episode was average at best), is that all of the action that happens happens right at the very end of the episode. Like the episode information stated, "The killer forces Emma through deadly games during the Lakewood carnival" it wildly inaccurate for two reasons: There is ONE 'game' right at the end that lasts for ONE minute. Typical scream - it never lives up to the hype it creates Scream TV gives this week another underwhelming episode, that is filled as far as it can be with horror clichés that miss out the horror. I had high hopes for this season, that maybe there would be a murder every week, and gripping story lines that were as original as the movies. No, I was wrong. As far as the acting is concerned, it is great. Flawless. But that doesn't make up for the series' downwards spiral into a bloodless teen drama.

Snooze fest

This episode desperately lacked good slasher action but didn't make up for with anything else. Plot progression has slowed to a crawl.
