SLIGHT SPOILERS
Eh... I just watched The Damned Thing last night. During a wind & rain storm at that. One might say it's the perfect setting. For me, the episode wasn't all that great. Throwaway, I wouldn't bother purchusing a DVD copy myself.
The acting was weak in a lot of places, and pieces of the dialogue just stuck out like a sore thumb. The gore was really great, and there was a lot of it. The hammer-to-the-head scene made me cringe a little, mainly the scrapping noises the backside made. No complaints in that department. What really bothered me though was the ending. First, WTF at showing the "monster" formed out of oil. Just completely retarded without even acting as a comedic factor. The whole compus thing at the very end, with a direct cut to credits afterwards also had me WTF???'ing outloud. It didn't click with me. I didn't understand it. I'm assuming it caught up to them, but why the hell did the compus freak out? I dunno. I'm not even a fan of this type of "break-down" horror in the first place (or movies where the monster is shown when they don't have the budget to do it properly), so perhaps those who are might like it better. I can't see anyone liking the ending though. Serious throughout, and then WHAM. Something just idiotic pops up, literally, from the ground.
6/10 for me. Average.
The preview for next week looks a LOT better.
Fun, comedic, grimm & gross, T&A-filled with a good cast.
Here's hoping for a better installment.
