June 10, 2012My overall impression
First, this show started nearly 30 minutes late – I understand that there was a show in the space before them, but holding the house for a full half an hour is a long time.
The acting was the best it could be considering the material. The actors did what they could with a cliche script, and I was honestly embarrassed for them at times.
This show was all about cheap scare tricks. Loud bangs, flickering lights, thunder sound effects, girls screaming, and putting the audience into complete darkness. Some of which was mildly startling, none of which was at all scary or even interesting. The plot was thin, and the backstory of one character was far more engaging than the story being told on stage. In fact, that backstory probably would have made a much better script.
Also, the show is not an hour – 35 or 40 minutes maybe. (Unless you count the 30 minute wait in the lobby beforehand.) So I thought the price ($12 at the door) was a little steep for something that’s less than an hour. However, considering the uninteresting and cliche nature of the show, the fact that it was short was a redeeming quality.
