Review of Curon

Curon (2020)
6/10
It winds up just a shallow lake
11 June 2020
A concept about changeling/doppelganger is pretty awesome if you could write a good story about it. Curon tried but unfortunately it just fell short my expectation.

Good thing about this series is *again* the concept. A changeling. It is, of course, terrifying and they tried to bring it to screen. But Curon is lack of thrill, shallow character development (even wasted character development in the end). I can say, it is poor written. The number of episode is also baffling, it feels too short but on other hand, it feel too long. If it was a 90-minutes movie or it is downright horror, maybe it could end up better.

The main casts are just lack of exploration. It feels like it just an ordinary teen that just trying to unlock some mystery with their angst and drama. Nothing less, nothing more. Nothing's going on them, even when you wish there's something come out from the water for them, it didn't. That is my failed expectation.

The best part of this series is maybe The Lucas' sequence. It's fairly good act, and good thrill too. His sequence alone could make you understand what the film is about.
