The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Being Human, Season 2 {US version} (2011)

Starring: Sam Huntington, Sam Witwer, Meahgan Rath

Synopsis:
A ghost, a vampire, and a werewolf share an apartment while trying their best to resist their supernatural tenancies and be human.

In Season 2 consists of Sally learning the joys and horrors of possession and reaping souls; Josh finding purebred werewolves, dealing with Nora's desention into the wolf curse, and a old flame returning to his life; and Aiden helping his former love gain control over Boston after she return from a 80 year hiatus in exchange for freedom.

My Take:
In the debut season the North American series followed basically the same path as the UK series. But in season two it has become a show all its own. Which is great because I dont feel like I'm watching the same show with different actors.
Each character went down a dark path this year and each deal with some sort of loss because of their choices. The final couple episodes were really a dark.
I love where the show is heading and will be very excited for its return.

Favorite Episode:
"Dont Fear the Scott" - Josh and new girlfriend Julia decide to have dinner with Aiden & Suren. While Sally tries to block Scott the Reaper out her mind.
The episode is dripped with comedy, awkwardness, and surprises. It's combines everything I enjoy about the show.

Rating: So Good
