NOT SCARY

I would have been a bit happier if my tickets were $40 each. But being a huge fan of scary things, we paid the $75 for good seats. Wish so much we had gone out for drinks and dinner instead. Was not scary at all. More humour than fear. Loud things to make you jump, but not scary. Very disappointing!!

NICE TRY, BUT WRONG APPROACH.

CONS: Story was cliched. Performers were over scripted and unconvincing. Dialogue was contrived. Monologues were long and drawn out. Unimaginative directing resulted in stock performances. Scares were few and far between and were mostly obnoxiously shocking rather than genuinely scary. Suspense and dark moments with simple yet creative scares were greatly lacking. PROS: Sets were clever & lighting was creative at times. The few moments of suspense & subtle scares were effective but could have done with way more. (ie. sudden appearances from the dark). OVERALL: Not great at all in my opinion. Between my group of four, we concocted dozens of simple ideas and a much more interactive use of actors and scares placed within the audience that would of increased the scare factor ten fold. A more creative and less theatrical approach would have gone a long way. We were hoping for an 'experience', but we got lame thrills, loud noises and too much 'acting' instead.

MEDIOCRE AT BEST

I had anticipated an amazing event as purchased for a birthday gift for a friend. By far the most disappointing show in my history of theatre attendance. The odd special effect and accompanying sound gave a start - momentarily. Some clever set design. All in all a great waste of travel time to Toronto and expense of tickets. I have always been a great fan of Mirvish productions. This performance was not up to standard.

REALLY DISAPPOINTED

When you watch the video clip from the London production, and you hear people are afraid to go home etc. you get really excited and have high expectations. Not only is the show not scary, it's actually boring...at time scenes drag on and you think, ok...it's leading up to something great. No it's really not. This is not a good show at all. If anything there are some funny parts, but definitely nothing scary. They could have done more than they did but overall....would not recommend at all.

REALLY REALLY TERRIBLE

we went to the April 2 show. I usually scare very easily but my husband loves scary things (movies, Halloween, horror nights at Wonderland). The show had potential with the idea of a professor giving a presentation on paranormal activity. However, the script was so incredibly weak, the acting was juvenile, and the stunts amateurish. It was truly one of the worst productions we have seen, and shocking that it's a Mirvish show. Would absolutely not recommend this show to anyone. A waste of a night and good money
