Family (02)

Family is that type of horror story that makes you wonder if you are actually watching an horror episode. It isn't that scary, and most of it is absolutely lame. Soundtrack is lame. Acting is lame. special effects are lame. Yet, there's an irony buit with the story and the soundtrack that made it all worth while.

So, first things first, i thought the story was rather original, which is a huge point in favor of the episode. It starts quietly, with the main character adding a new member to the "family" (which by the way, is formed by skeletons of random people he killed). He has some sort of disorder (at least the way i see it), so he talkes to the skeletons as if they were a real family - how weird is that ? Yet, the story isn't that bad, and the finale is amazing (so prepare yourselves for something awesome and quite unexpected).

The soundtrack is kinda lame for my taste, but it builds some sort of irony with the story - i mean, how many of you are familiar with horror stories accompanied by classical music ? Usually we see scary movies with a sountrack mostly composed by metal songs andhard rock, and so on. Another point in favor of the episode.

Overall, Family isn't that bad - it's quite entertaining !
