What I liked
I got to keep the glow sticks.
What I didn't like
What can’t be?
There needed to be a connection between the build-up and the show itself. If you’re going to include a phone number in “special” playbills, use it somehow in the show.
If you’re going to define fear, then the show needs to be genuinely scary, not a rehash of a million teen slasher films.
My overall impression
The build-up had pretty much NOTHING to do with the actual show. After signing a waiver and filling out a survey, we were expecting some sort of immersive theater. What we got was a very traditional staged play with “interactivity” in the form of voting with glow sticks every 10 minutes. Why the waiver when all we were doing was sitting in a theater seat? Why a survey when none of the results were used in the scripted show?
Then the show itself was boring, trite, insipid, and unoriginal. Teenagers lost in the woods with cannibal hillbillies. Really? This is the best you can do to instill “fear” into an audience in 2018? And what did the college classroom lecture wrap-around bring to the table? This production made no sense.
