MY REVIEW

BINGE-WORTHY tv horror. No, it's not the greatest thing in the world. No, it
s not going to win an Emmy. But, the story is decent, the casting is average and the gore is above board.

What I DID LIKE about this movie:

• Violent. Not for kids. This was perfect. Just not a great dinner-time watch!
• It was definitely a fun watch. For those of us who enjoy trying to figure out the "real killer" behind the masked ones. This was an enjoyable task over 8 episodes. It was a little obvious close to the middle, but it was good. I guessed wrong for the first half!

What I DID NOT LIKE about this movie:

• Katie McGrath is Irish and it was pretty obviojs
• It's B-level, Canadian Horror TV. Enough Said.

MY REVIEW

My most favorite theater companion is the one who called me on a Sunday morning and said.. Hey, I've got an extra ticket to go see Jekyll and Hyde, wanna go? Basically, Lisa is awesome and I love to hang out with her and I jumped at the chance. Put on my fancy outfit and headed to meet her at the Sandler Center for the Performing Arts in Town Center.

What a spectacular show! This was pretty amazing to watch, I had no idea who the main guy was, (American Idol guy) because I really don't watch  it, but man was his voice something else!

What I DID LIKE about this movie:

• DIRECTION- Generally the direction was pretty good. There were a few things that were not quote to my liking, but they were not of real consequence.
• COSTUME DESIGN- This felt like a retelling in a Victorian- Steam Punk
• SET DESIGN- Local set artistry felt pretty spot on. I have to give credit to small theaters when they have to change set so quickly. The multi-use sets and wheels were perfect.

What I DID NOT LIKE about this movie:

• COMPOSITION- The only that felt a little off was the music styling of loud rock music as the main theme. It was not exactly what I thought I would hear. Don't get me wrong, it was interesting, but unexpected and not quite right for me. It felt disjointed to the setting for me.
