A little too much thrown at you right away. They strayed from the typical horror approaches of (1) lots of slowly built tension, and (2) the sudden gotcha moments. They could have done better with more tension. They threw too many elements at you right away without any buildup - creepy mom & daughter, latex man, switching maid, burn man, twins, Columbine classmate, sleepwalking ala Amityville Horror, devil impregnation ala Rosemary's Baby, killer baby ghost in the basement, etc.

Damn. They covered all that in one Episode? How long was the episoide? I have it recorded so I'm sure I'll get to it at some point.
