The River 2012

MY THOUGHTS ON THE RIVER:

-WARNING: Spoilers Below-

MAN WHY DID THIS GET CANCELLED? IT WAS SO GOOD?!?! Ugh, I really liked this but as usual shows that I enjoy and actually get immersed into always end up getting cancelled. I'm a big horror fan, especially when it comes to horrors that involve ghosts or anything else on the paranormal spectrum. This was great at providing my spooky needs. The way they filmed this really helped add more tension into the show and made it that little bit more scary.

I'm a big fan of the Paranormal Activity movies so seeing that this show was filmed in a similar way was quite interesting for me and was the main selling point. I've never seen a show before this that was filmed in such a way so I went into this quite intrigued and thankfully it all worked out quite well. In my opinion this show provided everything it needed to and it came off as creepy as they wanted it to. I'm really disappointed that they didn't give it a second season because I really do believe they could have expanded a lot more on this show and it could have brought in a decent amount of numbers, unfortunately they didn't see it that way.

If you're looking for a decent horror show that will give you a few creeps then this is definitely a show worth checking out. The biggest downfall it has is at times it can get quite slow and boring but seeing as it's only one season I feel like it's worth ignoring that and just checking it out. The actors all performed great and the story (from what we know) was pretty good and made good TV. It's a big shame they cancelled this.

Overall rating: 8/10
