My reaction
Synopsis: a couple special effects guys and their cohorts test whether various urban legends are possible
How I saw it: online (streaming from Netflix), over the past few days
Concept: Great.
Story: Bad.
Characters: Good.
Dialog: Indifferent.
Pacing: Great.
Cinematography: Indifferent.
Special effects/design: Good.
Acting: Bad.
Music: Indifferent.
Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good). There are some nice explosions in this set, but some of the excuses for making them are getting silly. "Can you surf a wave caused by dynamite?" Who cares?
Objective Rating: 2.5/4 (Okay).
