Manthast Absolutely amazing
DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
djayme7 Unwatchable due to a robotic sounding narrator. it could have been interesting.
kenthembree-588-769152 At 13:00, the narrator claims the the phrase "saved by the bell" is attributed to a coffin gimmick of the time. It widely known as a reference to a losing boxer not being counted out because the end of the round came before the referee's decision. That is enough said, but I have to keep typing to meet the minimum character requirement.
Syo Kennex Lore is a show I saw on Amazon, and fell in love with the moment I saw the cover art. It promised to look spooky, and to give me a little bit of a thrill. I immediately settled down with some popcorn and binged through the six episodes straight away. I wasn't disappointed at all.Lore is a show that brings together the past, with recent teachings, to bring us a small scare fest of a television show. Unknowing of what this show was about at all, I was hesitant to watch, not sure what the first episode would bring. I somewhat nervous, but when it began with a horrible story of a woman buried alive in her coffin, I was hooked almost immediately. The first thing I want to say is the re-enactments in the show were horrible. They felt very rough acted, and although the actors did well, they felt quite cringey. Although childlike, I feel like the drawn animations at the start of the first episode would have done a little better throughout the episodes rather than brash re- enactments. It felt like prime time television on the crime channels, and that wasn't what I wanted from something this… spooky.Other than this, everything else was absolutely amazing. I found Lore to be a wonderful learning experience, that gave me information that although not really valuable in the field of marine biology, might help me win a pub quiz or two. Learning things of any kind is one of my favourite things, so this was absolutely wonderful for me. I felt creeped out quite a bit, as I said, the actors did really well.I'm hoping there will be more than just the six episodes released in late 2017. This is wonderful and I would adore to see more from this.
Joseph Godfrey I was reading the reviews and found it bizarre how people were attacking the narrator Aaron Mahnke's voice. This is the only time I've ever heard his voice and I didn't find anything unpleasant about it. The guy has a hit podcast using this same voice - which doesn't add up with reviews of people not liking his voice. I really didn't put any thought behind the talking. I just listened and watched the stories.I've never listened to the 'Lore Podcast', but I'm certainly going to. This is a wonderful idea, it plays out very well and held my interest (which isn't easy). I will mention that I preferred the first three episodes, but the last three I already knew too much about. I'd like to have more obscure tales; I don't know how easy that would be, but I think it's necessary for this format.My favorite episode was the 3rd one called 'Black Stockings'. I think Ireland has our most famous folklore, but I'd probably look for folk tales originating in countries that Americans have very little knowledge of. There's unheard of myths & legends from places such as Africa that most people have never heard of. There's also several unique tales within the Middle East. Japan has a gigantic collection of legends, although they've become popularized through films. Maybe consider folklore from places that haven't culturally melded with the United States?Great job so far. Looking forward to more.
