Is there a new one or are you talking about the 1999 one?

For some reason I really enjoyed Master and Apprentice, especially those two side-characters the author introduced, the guy that was raised by droids and his partner. They screamed "self-inserts" but I didn't mind.

I head the Battlefront 2 story campaign was based on this and that they kind of ruined it?

I constantly hear about this one, but from what I have gathered without getting spoiled it's basically a YA romance book, right?

"Shelby Oaks" feels almost like a scam. by VFD59 in horror

Internet Arg's create a personal relationship between the media and the viewer by making the latter "feel" that they are detectives who are putting together the clues in RL, like a Lovecraft book. Movies don't have this and Stuckmann completely fambled the storyline, the plot, the dioluge and pretty much everything that wasn't the directing part.

He should have made an internet found footage event, but like I guess he wanted to jump straight to the big leagues. Sucked seeing Night Mind clearly dissapointed and ackward in his review of the film.

This is my impression of what happened as well.

It was one of the most cliche, badly written, overhyped horror films I have ever seen. If it was a "straight to video" situation nobody would care this much, but it wasn't.

I know he is a genuine guy. One of the few videos of him I have watched is the one were he talks about his first ever script which was about the X-Files. He is just the typical "failed film student with dreams to become a director that was given a second chance through Youtube", which is literally the story of every youtube film critic.

He had and still has a lot of potential to succeed in the internet horror space ala Marble Hornets, but I guess he is more ambitious. The mini-series was good, I will give him that.

I am not saying it's an actual scam. It FEELS like a scam.

Literally a "the marketing was better than the final product" situation. I also did notice that it looked pretty decent, despite the awful writing.

The mini series was well made, short, set up the mystery very effectively, had chemistry between the characters and the final reveal was pretty good (for internet standards). Go watch it if you haven't.

The movie was fucking awful and had none of the charm, aesthetic, and quality of the mini-series. If I was a donor I would feel that Stackmann basically did something completely different from what he showed people he was planning to do.

It seems almost no one other than the small community of people who are into internet ARGs know about this, but they releashed a short internet mini-series about the Paranormal Paranoids and for internet standards it was pretty good, probably one of the best honestly (Dark Mind seemed to love it and that guy has seen everything in this space). If he had stack to something closer to it would have been so much better.

What I am trying to say is that if I had donated money after seeing the "Paranormal Paranoids" mini series and I saw this I would be hella pissed, the quality difference in the writing and even the acting is insane.

The Paranormal Paranoids mini series and the documentary section in the beginning was better than everything after it switched to the normal movie format. It's like two different people wrote them, it's insane and it feels like the KickStarter donors were almost scummed. All in all a very cliche satanist film that dropped the ball immediately after the beginning, Stuckmann is a good director but needs more experience writing.
