Outcast Audience Reviews

Alicia I love this movie so much
Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
coolliegal4 The directing is terrible. Everything is just dull and dark all the time. It's all talk about depressing things and there's no humor in this to take away from the repetitiveness. Horror needs to be fun as well but this second season is such a drag that I'm canceling my Cinemax subscription because I only put it back on for this show but it isn't needed anymore.
gollieandspot This was a desperation "What do we watch now?" choice and we are hooked. Watching two and three episodes a night and I'm going to be mad that I burned through it that quickly! It does drag in spots and we have found ourselves saying at the end of an episode, "Well, that one didn't tell us anything." However, well worth watching and I am never moving to THAT town. Good acting although the Kyle character could use a little more depth but I suspect that is coming. What I like about the Walking Dead is not part of this series...watching the destruction of society and how people cope with it. The zombies aren't the important part of that show to me and becoming one is totally random. It will be interesting to see how the possessed people are chosen and I do hope we find that out. The town does seem a little blase about the whole goings-on!
ditziie I'm a huge horror fan, so I was really looking forward to seeing this, and it definitely didn't disappoint. The story moves at a good pace and quickly pulls you in as you start to learn about the characters, who are really well played. There's just the right amount of vagueness to build up the suspense and mystery without being confusing. Overall I really love the show so far, there are some really creepy moments which is pretty rare in the horror TV genre, and to me this show really stands out as unique, original, and interesting. In a lot of horror movies/shows the characters are cheesy and very underdeveloped but that isn't the case with Outcast. I quickly started to develop feelings for them, like Kyles adopted sister who seems really sweet and caring but also good at dishing out tough love when it's needed, with just the right amount of quirkiness. Her husband on the other hand, seems kind of selfish and a bit cold with his attitude towards her brother, but he doesn't really seem like a jerk so I don't really know which direction it will go with him as I continue to watch.I'm only 2 episodes in so far, so I'm sure there will be even more to love about this show before I make it through the season, but I can already tell it is going to be one of my favorites, such as AHS and Salem. It's got plenty of weird, creepy moments, without being too dark the way American Horror Story can sometimes be (although for me, I don't think there's such thing as 'too dark', but I know for some, it's tends to go to far sometimes..) so I feel like most people will like it.
shamrock_d the hero in the story weren't so dumb saying and doing inexplicable things. Once in a blue moon he gets smart and then the very next moment we find him doing something or going somewhere that any viewer can see from the way the script is written he's going to fall into a trap or something bad.Along with this, there are the inexplicably long walks through darkness where any normal person would turn on the lights and the extended lingering on certain objects, scenes or eyeballs that contribute little or nothing to the plot and story line except perhaps to add lots of padding to what little happens in that one episode. I saw and felt no horror with all this lingering on particular scenes --- just boredom and frustration.It makes one think that the scriptwriters are deliberately adding all these unnecessary --- not even bits and pieces --- but huge unrelated chunks to milk as much as they can out of the script. Season one could have have been half a season but it's been stretched like adding sugar and water to orange juice. The same goes for the pacing and content of the show --- just too many unnecessary parts that could have been dispensed with.It took patience for me to reach around episode 6 before I started getting some sense of who's who or what's what and where the story might be going. By that time, I thought my patience had finally paid off and when things started getting interesting, the stretching started again.By the end of the season, we don't even know if it's something demonic, alien or maybe even a mix of both.It seems this is a trend among quite a number of TV series where we have people doing and saying things that have little or nothing to do with the story line nor giving relevant insight into the personalities of the characters other than to waste time. Outcast looks to have outdone the other series in this aspect.My thought at the close of the season finale was I didn't want to come back for season 2 for more of the same. If the show continues with these over-stretched tendencies without substance, I doubt very much it will last long.The show still shows promise if it can become tighter and more to the point. They can keep the mystery but the pacing needs improvement.One more thing: the finale of season one ends with another inexplicably badly thought out act especially since it was explained earlier that wherever the hero may go he will be attracted to like a point of light in the dark. I saw right away what was going to happen the very moment the last scene started.
