And the worms crawl in, and the worms crawl out

Did anyone catch this last night?  It's a horror series on ABC produced by the creator of Paranormal Activity.  Last night was the two-hour premiere, and I thought it was so-so until about the 1:20 mark.  That's when the got to a giant tree covered in old, rotting baby dolls.  My eyes have seen way too many old creepy baby dolls this week.  From then on I was pretty hooked, and I'll be watching again next week, albeit with caution.  The show has some issues and the acting seems a little flat so far, but if they can top the baby doll tree of Hell I think I'll like this one.

Yeah, I saw it.  Not sure what to make of it yet.  The monkey was cool and the doll tree would have had me running far, far away.  Being there are only six episodes left this season, I hope it doesn't pull any punches and gets scarier with each episode.

I don't like the fact that Joe Anderson (Lincoln Cole) doesn't know if he wants to be American, English or Australian given the poor accent work that he's been doing.  He's actually from England (thanks IMDB) but you'll never know watching this.

I thought he did pretty well playing a German in The Ruins, but his American accent is definitely lacking.
