The idea of short horror stories is intriguing, but the direction, editing and unfortunately also the script feel like a first semester's film school project: they worked with ambition, but without craftsmanship. While the acting is completely ok, the stories don't give you anything. After the first five minutes you regularly think "yes, that might be quite exciting", but then you quickly realize that the rhythm of the stories is just not right, that the editor only has a vague idea of how to create suspense and that the director is simply unable to shape the sloppy script into a coherent whole. There are thousands of horror stories in literature that are only a few pages long, but whose stories leave an impression you will remember years later. That's not the case in any episode here. The whole first season reminded me very much of first film school projects that stood under the motto "learning by failing". Then we sat down and analyzed why everything didn't work out as it was supposed to. We can only hope that this concept will also be applied here and that the second season will be better.

The sentences and stories didn't even match up. It was .....a sentence....a story with nothing to do with the subject. I only gave it a 4 because the acting was very good. The special effects were good too. But the stories were bad. This must have been produced by someone with no horror show experience at all.

I tried going into this with allow expectations, the title "two sentence horror stories" was either going to be bad or okay. It erred toward bad. The acting wasn't very good, the storylines were often not well developed, and the sentences didn't always fit the story. While a few of the stories had a definite creep factor, the majority weren't very scary.

Six episodes in and what the hell is going on with the audio Read some meanderings from the producer about trying to make it seem ominous or some crap. Nope just makes it impossible to hear what people are saying and annoying as hell - when you have a constant base drone sound going on it just becomes really irritating and sounds like some cheap home school production. You keep asking yourself am I supposed to be hearing what is going on? Takes you completely out of the story

You can tell from the get-go that the show has a low budget; the acting is poor and the effects aren't great. The two sentence story concept is fun but it isn't really executed well. It's not the worst show out there, but Goosebumps is better.

Some episodes are good though- I would recommend Tutorial, Instinct, and Hide.

There may not be a whole lotta time to build on the villain, but you have to give the audience something, other than a bag and a bad guy. The acting was not bad, but the script was horrible and the plot lacked.

Two Sentence Horror (2019) I've always been a sucker for anthologies. So when I saw this series, which was inspired by the viral Reddit two sentence horror stories we've grown to love, I just couldn't help but feel giddy about it. It features characters who are about to experience a spine-chilling twist in their daily routine. The great thing about Two Sentence Horror is that it has adapted to the digital age and has adjusted to what's currently relevant and relatable to the majority of its potential audience.

It proves the point that despite the advances that we have when in comes to technology, our anxieties and fears will still be as primal as it has always been. It's not as great as Black Mirror nor The Twilight Zone, but it's quite enjoyable. Sure, the audio could've been a little better but for a series with a limited budget, they did just fine. Maybe I'm a little biased since I've been a longtime follower of Reddit's r/twosentencehorror, but let's face it, the level of creativity needed to reimagine classic stories isn't something you can simply brush off.
