[Kirk Langstrom]

Surprisingly good! Interesting twist at the end.

Me too. Coupled with me just visiting Universal Halloween Horror Nights, and going through the Exorcist house, this was a good watch. Much better than I was expecting.

 

[Dave McFly]

some of the possession effects were creepy as hell like the close up of that boy's eye with an extra pupil/iris area etc.

 

[Marvolo]

That scene in the attic was genuinely creepy. Ill keep tuning in. Hopefully it stays good and isnt canceled or ****ed up by Fox.

This was something originally I was gonna pass on and wasn't sure about. But I love the original film and am a huge horror fan, so finally watched the pilot tonight. And I gotta say I really enjoyed this a lot.

 

[Sithborg]

It has my interest. It will be interesting to see how they stretch this out a full season. But the little boy's exorcism and attic scene were pretty creepy. Definitely made the classic head turn something I do not want to see.

I also love the call back to the original film that they had.

 

[Broseph44]

Sith are you talking about the callback to the original film when he was researching online and came across the article?

 

[Sithborg]

Yes.

 

[Broseph44]

Yeah I liked that little nod.

 

[Broseph44]

And that attic scene was really creepy and nicely done. So was that little twist didn't see that coming.

 

[Primal Slayer]

This episode was soooo much better then the pilot. Really enjoyed it.

 

[squeekness]

Me, too. Though I am not a fan of watching people puke.

 

[Sithborg]

Yay, pea soup! Though the bugs, CGI they may be, really creeped me out. Definitely enjoying, but I am still curious to see how this works out as a series beyond one season.

 

[S. Grundy]

Go the anthology route?

 

[squeekness]

That would be fine by me.

 

[Sawyer]

They definitely upped the creep factor in episode 2, IMO. The beginning with the younger daughter and the voice was

Is this show something you folks would recommend checking out?

 

[Sawyer]

Yeah, it's not bad.

Of course, how she is visualizing the demon in her head and her interactions with him is also quite creepy.

 

[Great Cthulhu]

I just watched the first episode last night, the attic scene was definitely unsettling. I'll be tuning in for the rest of the series.

 

[Marvolo]

That one scene. Y'all know which one:

 

[Great Cthulhu]

I was visiting adamthewoo YouTube channel and stumbled upon this, pretty neat.

Considering this is a "taking place in the same universe" kind of thing, rather than a blatant remake, they gotta get Linda Blair in there. Wouldn't hurt the ratings to do it sooner rather than later either.

 

[Great Cthulhu]

That would be great if they could get her involved with this new series. I wonder if she still acts, or has she retired?
