Close, but no cigar. (Spoilers, probably)


This could have easily been a five (as expected; no more, no less) or higher, it just needed to be put together a little more. This is kind of sad, because this one tried. The actors tried (and honestly, everyone overall was just great in that respect), and the direction was really well-done overall. The two biggest problems are that the story just wasn't all that it could be. I think the viewers want a few more answers than they were given. Really, to get a more fleshed-out story, I would have been fine with watching an extra twenty-ish minutes. There are too many characters with threads hanging everywhere; the BFF shrink is DESPERATELY in need of more. Way more. And pick who is crazy and who isn't; if they're both crazy, why? How? Is there something truly paranormal going on, or is it all the looney Andrea Yates-style landlady?

WHY AM I SUPPOSED TO GIVE A D4MN ABOUT CLAUDIA??? Who is Claudia??? And Annika. And Frank. And Mary Lincoln's 'ex'. Who are they, and why should I care?

So ultimately, it comes down to the story. It just needed a little more. Okay...a lot more.
