Excellent, a Must See

An absolute waste of money

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

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.

Tedious Melodrama with some demonic serving on top. It has the back and fort circular tragic nonsense copy pasted from the pulp series Supernatural. Except it tries to be the dark and profound version of that forgettable pleasure, forgoing any humour or light pop corn moments the series might have had. No monsters, no lore: a single multi layered tragedy that doesn't captivate. It tries to be a dark and sinister crawl, gives up on that around episode 4 and then bashes your brain pan in with repetitive junk. You'd best skip this one.

Listen up people, Suvari may be the Heather Graham for some of you but she is NOT wonder woman and that is what you would have to be to save this absolutely idiotic TV series which will not and should never have itself get a second season. Any person who actually likes this stuff needs to get out of their house and quickly run in front of the next bus just to make sure you are actually still alive. The plot, the acting, the cheap and I mean very cheap SFX are all combined into a vehicle for ads which would be more entertaining than this krap. When will the American production companies start to realize that this sort of stuff is seen by those democraphic that have no real buying power so any company advertising with this show will highly likely have very little return. An adolescent with a mental disorder would likely be able to sit thru it without throwing up, maybe?! The brother to the Suvari character in this show is as convincing as ?????? I just can not find an analogy that summarizes how bad he is. Nough said.

South of Hell could be a real winner with an increased production budget. The storyline is interesting and the show could easily become as big a hit as Supernatural. It's a shame WEtv didn't see the possibilities for the 1st season. I will give WEtv credit for stepping out and taking a chance on a non cookie cutter TV show. Maybe, next seasons production budget will allow the director to carry the show to greater heights. With so many shows of the past that went in a different direction only to later become SyFy icons, like "Firefly" but were killed off before the people had a chance to become fans. South of Hell looks to be a pop-icon in the making, we can only hope WEtv can have the foresighted vision and give the SyFy fans the warm up time they always need.

It's fairly rare I anticipate a film or a series that perfectly fails in all areas. You gather together a recognizable producer (Jason Blum), director (Eli Roth) and lead star (Mena Suvari) solely on a WEtv budget and you get something no one cared about creating. The shame in this is that the plot device has a fairly decent idea; A possessed woman that uses her inner demon powers to hunt, destroy/exorcise other demons. Sure it's basically recycled material, but I had assumed the South Carolina backdrop would have added a nice touch."CHEAP" is the easiest word for this series. It feels cheap right out of the gate with the poor editing cuts, bland voice-over and unremarkable dialogue. You present a southern dialect and yet there isn't a single success in faking the easiest accent in the US. I've heard Northerners confuse southern pronunciations with one another; South Carolina & a thick Cajun Louisiana are distinct to the common ear, but Mena Suvari refused any attempt at authenticity. Her character sounds like she's from Rhode Island. That's just lazy.You could hope that the series would be another "so bad it's good" premise. Maybe inject a little humor into this hopeless flush down the genre toilet, but the whole series was dumped out all-at-once on Black Friday. It forced me to consider, "WEtv must have wanted to get rid of this as quickly as possible." ... as no second season is expected.
