Strange School Tales (2020)

HORROR GENRE LOVERS, DON'T MISS THIS ANTHOLOGY !! :)

A VERY INTERESTING Anthology of Three miniseries / Specials!

After watching all 3, Now I can say, this Anthology is VERY GOOD at making each concept with a Smooth Blend of Two Genres.

*****
Skeptical to watch this but good that I gave a try.

As a Horror genre lover, I try every type, every concept n all variety of Horrors (even if it's bad, just to pass the time, sometimes, haha) n found this Anthology, Very Different from the usual horrors.

Usually, Horrors movies confine to Horror Genre Only like
Horror Comedy which are good to pass the time without involving many emotions or not sentimental
or Scary horrors with jump scares
or Psychological horror with serious stories, making viewers too, connect emotionally
or Dark themed horror (the characters can't really get out of the situation caused by the Entity n marks an painful or scary impression on viewers too :( )

So, Out of all my Horror genre watching experience, this Anthology is UNIQUE n refreshing to watch.

They have a Blend of Two Genres - Horror with either Crime Mystery or Police drama.

Don't miss to give a try! Especially Horror genre lovers who love to watch every type n a variety of Horror concepts.

*****
Will mention the Highlights about each story in this anthology here.

For detailed reviews of each miniseries, check out My Reviews in those respective drama pages.

***** THE ANTHOLOGY STORIES:
First two are unique but the third is lil disappointing.

Though these are Special / Miniseries, these are like 2 hour long Movies, which can be binge watched in one go!

1) "8 years"

A Good Mix of Horror + Police Crime Drama.

High School setting.

The Vengeful Ghost killings are mistook (atleast by the police detective) as Serial Killer's killings😂 n an extensive police investigation is carried out accordingly.

Not Very Scary!
Well Written n Well Executed.
Suspense is well maintained.
The Twists in the plot are Good.

***
2) "Child who wouldn't come"

My favourite in this anthology.

A Perfect Blend of Horror + Crime Suspense Mystery (Killer / Stalker)

High School setting.

Very Spooky n Eerie but VERY INTERESTING to watch!

The Mystery track is More Creepy n Scary than the Horror track , haha.

Dark themed horror track gives chills to the spine n so, psychologically Scary.

The stalker scenes are very creepy which makes one to freak out.
While, there are lot of Scary Jump Scares for Horror genre lovers :)

The Mystery n Suspense are well maintained.
Well Written n Well Executed.

Student Roll number 11 is a freak with spooky smiles :o

That 180 degree turn of the first 3 episodes' Killer/Stalker Mystery Thriller into a complete Horror in 4th ep, is a good surprise (can be guessed to some extent), very smooth, written very intelligently and very well directed.

***
3) "Karma"

A Mix of Crime Mystery Thriller + Horror.
(More of a Thriller than a Horror)

Plot is Very Good n Very Interesting but Execution n Everything has gone wrong.

The least interesting one in this Anthology, While the other two are Very Good, Unique n refreshing to watch & so expected the same level from this.
Highly Disappointed!

Not a High School setting but a haunted house setting with high school students and teachers involved.

This is A SAD STORY OF STRUGGLE TO SURVIVE IN THIS WORLD OF COMPETITION N SELFISHNESS! :(

Funny! The Ghost has a Cameo appearance in its own horror movie !? 😂
U can actually see the real ghost haunting for just 4 mins in ep 4, what!? :o

Check out the detailed review of this miniseries for more info on what is good n bad about this. What I liked, What I didn't like n What I found funny.

*****
Opening instrumental theme is Good.
Suits well to the horror mood n vibe of the drama.

***** RATINGS:
"8 years" - GOOD, 8.5 /10

"Child who wouldn't come" - VERY GOOD, 9 /10

"Karma" - God, Ghost has a Cameo in its own horror😂, 7 /10

Overall for the Anthology, 8.5 /10 .

I really Liked 1st miniseries n Admire 2nd one in this Anthology and was shocked to see the third one to be very bad n not upto the level of the other two.
