Reviews

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
asirname I would watch it for the knowledge you can gain and the warnings. However it is odd and more unnerving than need be. Overdoing and dragging out the drama, trying to make cute or clever segway and summaries, repeating scenes and lines over and over. With a little change this could really be my of tea.
Kenyae Kofi When it comes to the stories of other peoples lives in this show all of the deaths have clear and understandable reasons of why they died. Nothing was really curious and unusual. I do not like this show because of the simple explanations but this show tries to make it seem like these deaths have some mysterious issue or deaths. I feel this show should have just been considered for 1000 ways to die rather than anything else. In total this show could get some work done the right way.
ssanchez-94724 I could not agree more with what one reviewer, who said "constantly working in the title of the show at the end of every story was extremely irritating". Seriously. It's so bad that I came here just to review on how obnoxious and irritating this is. What a headache. It's a shame because the show is otherwise quite a great idea.
MartinHafer "Curious and Unusual Deaths" is a creepy Canadian television series that is currently streaming on Netflix. Not surprisingly, it's not a show for the squeamish, as it's all about death. However, in a morbid way it is fascinating and very watchable. Each episode consists of several deaths being described and re-enacted along with experts discussing the unusual deaths. The deaths in each show all have some sort of similarity (such as those about sports in the first episode and do it yourself projects in the third in season two).While I enjoyed the show, the quality of the research seemed iffy at times. Without even trying to find mistakes, I quickly noticed two. In episode 1, the narrator talked about a guy trying to catch kingfish and walleye in the Gulf of Mexico. Well, I live along the Gulf and would LOVE to catch a walleye...but can't because they are freshwater fish and are found no where near the Gulf. Also, episode 3 talks about a strange death in New Carrollton, Maryland---a town I lived near for over 20 years. Yet, oddly, they mispronounced the name at one point and no one seemed to catch it. These things certainly did not ruin the show, but made me wonder why the mistakes weren't caught by someone associated with the show.UPDATE: Since my review, I've seen some more episodes. The fifth one of season two is problematic, as the murder of Rasputin is clearly overstated and filled with myth. Sloppy. And, in the next episode, they repeated a myth about British pilots and carrots. REALLY sloppy!
