That was an excellent one.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
View MoreYes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
View MoreI 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.
View MoreI always knew Zak was egotistical, but this show takes the case. After his "butler" checks the peep hole after someone knocks, they must walk down a long, dimly lily hallway where Zak is sitting on his "throne" and doesn't stand when a person enters, not even if it's a woman. Zak's Ghost Adventures is a ten compared to this show, but that's another review. It's just a cheesy show, with a slow moving butler, an interview room that looks like it came off of the set of a vampire movie and a gaudy hearse as his official museum car. He needs to bring his ego down a few notches and infuse the show with some authentic investigating. I was really expecting A LOT more from Bagans and am truly disappointed.
View MoreRemember when the Travel Channel was taken seriously? Remember when the network took pride in what it broadcast? Remember the beautiful andinspiring programs?This is not one of those.As unintentional COMEDY this program is brilliant! At first I thought Iwas watching a delightful parody of every off the wall "reality show" ever produced. I was especially taken with Zak Bagans' take on the smarmy snake oil salesman who gets his guests to say and do incredibly stupid things - just for their moment on national TV. Then, sadly, I realized that this was "serious"... well as serious any any program of this type could be.I cannot believe people actually can sit through this stuff. Not only is it total HOKUM, it is mind numbingly boring. Nothing significant actually happens. Nothing exciting actually happens. Nothing scary actually happens. They just breathlessly recount rumors and legends and unimportant stuff.The Host, if you can call him that, is a colorful character called Zak Bagans. Never heard of this "expert"? Well, he was in a Lumber Liquidators commercial. And he is planning on putting in a museum in downtown Las Vegas... "full of the haunted and cursed objects he has been collecting through the years".If you want to watch Trailer Trash spin colorful stories, watch Jerry Springer reruns instead. The production values on that show are much higher, and they throw pies.
View MoreSadly I was very annoyed with this series It so dramatic and its just and just plain Disney its not the objects or the stories its the way they present the show over dramatic , unrealistic and very childish and a bit of a joke to be honest. If this show is supposed to represent the most haunted objects in History or the world it really bad that I feel like I am watching another cheap quick scare cheesy show. There is a real Museum that holds real famous objects in side of Ed and Lorraine Warren's: The Occult Museum. If you ever watch Lorraine Warren the most famous Demonologists talk about these objects of possession you can hear that she is not over dramatic she is very straight to the point and very honest and very respectful.Sadly the presenter Zak does not have these qualities but rather sounds like a child playing with a toy. I feel like he has a little understanding of what he is doing. It really does not inspire confidence and does not for fill my expectations. I understand that this show may go far but only for the reasons of the fan base with the previous shows. This is a waste of time for people who have a serious interest for the Occult and the history of these objects. I really do hope they make some changes to the show because this could be a hit with out the dramatics. rating 4/10. unsure emoticon .Apology's for any bad Gramma.
View MoreFantastically eerie premiere episode. I'm really digging this paranormal Pawn Stars format. Creepy objects with creepy history in a creepy location. What more could you ask for. I had heard about Robert the doll, but didn't know that it inspired Chucky, which of course was one of the most disturbing horror films for children of the 80's. And the haunted museum looks great. Such a bizarre place. I wonder how all of the objects hold up under close examination. I'm looking forward to next week's episode and I'm looking forward to checking out the museum itself the next time I'm in Vegas. I hear it's located near downtown Vegas, the old part of town, which is also a really bizarre place!
