I love the short parts concept, it really works well. Was always thinking of Late Bush's song "Experiment 4" from 1986 with a "sound that could kill someone" and its video still banned by the BBC. Nevertheless I really enjoyed this though the ending was a bit of a cop out.

Liked it. Not great but good and a quick binge if you’re looking for something to fill that “Archive81”(podcast) hole in your heart.

Fantastic lovecraftian mini-series. If you enjoyed the ideas in From Beyond or The Music of Erich Zann you'll adore this as much as I did. Instantly knew that I would be left wanting more, which is the perfect way to end a horror story.

If you’re looking for something for a quick binge that’s also 420 compatible then you might enjoy this as much as I did. It’s fun pop culture horror.

Very derivative, open ended ending which was pretty terrible, this one is worth missing.
