My heart dropped when they said, “Take a look.” I never saw that coming. That was scary! The screen on the camcorder when something is already off was eerie. The change of colors and sounds was great.

This episode was perhaps too performative to truly instill terror. However, the images do become unsettling at times. In any case, it occasionally feels more like a parody than a scene of suspense and fear.
