Urban Legend

Very sordid series. The graphic tale was not one I care to view. Blood and a plot for money is so the thing now isn't it? Would love to see original stories Then at the end of the story was lackluster and topped off by a director chat about how he created this hour long piece.

Seems to me it could have been less graphic. It just copied most of the slasher movies from a few decades ago.

It would be nice to see some legends that are real but not explored and a bit more entertaining. Just my thoughts. Watch the next episode and share what you find interesting. This is my first and last gorefest.

I don't understand the low ratings and bad reviews in here as I found this tv series quite entertaining. I don't expect to watch a psychological horror movie from Eli Roth and won't expect too much escalating horror due to the limited lenth of a TV episode (about 50 mins). And I also don't expect to watch every episode with brand new and unique ideas, it is becasue this project is about turning some urban legends we've heard before into TV graphic horror, probably with a little new idea and a twist, but these new ideas and twists won't be deviated far from the original urban legends, same situation in "American horror stories" as well. If you like Eli Roth's movie, bloody horror and jump scare stuffs, you would enjoyed this TV series.

I've always loved horror, whether it's your typical gore kind of horror, creepy horror, disturbing horror, or psychological horror. Horror has a broad range in its meaning for me in the sense that I view them from a "it can happen in real life" perspective.

Jumping into this series was enjoyable and I love mini horror shorts, anthologies that tell individual stories like visual book chapters. This started strong and keeps your attention throughout each episode, and the filmmaker discussion at the end of each anthology adds a perfect touch to the entire series. This is especially because I love taking deeper dives into how films are created, how a thought behind a project, a creature, a story becomes a film; and becomes bigger than what it began as.

Telling stories in artistic form, especially in filmmaking is amazing and I'm always here for it. I hope this series continues because you come to appreciate it for what it is.

You will enjoy it.

This is an anthology horror series produced by Eli Roth. Each episode is supposed to be an urban legend and ends with a section where Eli chats with the newly discovered filmmaker. That chat is the least compelling part of every episode. I do appreciate Eli giving these people some facetime, but they usually have nothing interesting to say. The actors tend to be newbies which gives an interesting vibe. This is not a big production. At its core, this show has an indie horror feel. For the first season, episode 5 is good. The others are mostly simplistic and a bit boring. I don't know if there are more seasons to come.

The plot holes are SO annoying. In. Every. Single. Episode. You could drive an ocean liner through the many plot holes! Sad thing is they aren't hard to fix but there's just no care or concern to do so on the part of any of the directors as evidenced in Roth's sit down and chat with them. Roth's insistence that each and every particular urban legend is the most well known and widespread gets tiresome and phony since I've lived a lot longer than he has and never heard of half of theses and the one I heard the most isn't even done or mentioned. The acting wasn't all bad (depends on the episode). The show is worth a watch and INFINITELY better than Two Sentence Horror Stories.
