I think the main problem with the whole series is that it feels like a kid trying to tell you a scary story, but they notice youre not really scared at all so they just start listing over the top "scary things" to get that reaction out of you. Theres not really much of a plot or deeper meaning, its just shock value

the worst part? this actually has a neat setup. a killer who paints his victims and leaves them behind. the amount of careful planning that the killer would have to do combined with the police's inability to find them actually makes for an interesting story. but ofc they just decided to make it all shock value.

[@sock4118]

Its sad too, because the art is also legitimately good, but its context is so distasteful and lame that I cannot fully enjoy it. this could have been legitimately good if the creator wasn't a creep that thinks edginess is a good replacement for story.

[@Ninjat126]

"Serial killer who views themselves as an artist" is a fairly common thing in fiction, but a lot of the time it's a "killing is my art form" thing. THIS series has visual art, the "paintings," that the audience actually gets to see (and judge). There's a lot of potential there! Is the art beautiful despite the awful subject matter? Is the art horrifying, but the artist thinks it's beautiful? Is the artist making horrifying art with the -intention- to horrify their audience? If the painting is meant to capture the act of murder, why not take photos or shoot a snuff film instead? If the murder is done for the sake of the art, what's driving that kind of obsession? You could do a lot with that setup.

[@lexyshannon9428]

Yeah no thats what turned it off for me, too. At first I was like "what an interesting premise! I wonder what we'll learn about the killer's motivations through these horrible murders" and then it was just like NOPE! MORE MURDER!! ACTUALLY, TWO MURDERERS WITH MORE MURDERS ON TOP.

I think using csa and pedophilia in horror is something that can be done in horror effectively. This guy just doesnt do it right. You dont really hate the murderer when this revelation is revealed, you start to hate the author. Using csa as a shock factor and not in a way that effectively shows the horrors of child abuse is cruel and disgusting

[@emojellyace8]

This. This topics are really heavy to discuss in terms of horror. And just thinking about the idea of it is sick. So using these sensitive topics for shock value is just triggering and disrespectful at this point especially if it's not done "right" in terms of horror story telling. This analog horror has lots of potential. But the child murders (killing in general) was just too much and without the actual story it wouldn't make any sense making the audiences more turned off.

[@iamjackspyramidshapedhelmet]

Alice: Madness Returns is one example of it done effectively I think. Everything is implied which is more than enough to trigger an uncomfortable response in most people. The Dollhouse level is pure nightmare fuel, and it manages to be that way because of implications alone.

[@akarun45]

Children under the house handles this really well, because it's less for the shock factor and more to add to the tragedy of the victims.

A possibility supernatural serial killer committing unspeakable acts, leaving disturbing artwork as a calling card, and stumping the police is a good idea; it just needs to be packaged right. You could do so much with it: actual police reports, public safety announcements, news broadcasts, even handheld camera footage of someone encountering the killer. You don’t even need strong central characters; Local58 and Gemini Home Entertainment don’t really have any, and they’re possibly the best analog horror series to date. The problem with UrbanSpook is that it’s samey. There’s only so many times you can hear that the killer butchered someone in a gruesome way and left behind a disturbing painting before it gets repetitive. The real strength of analog horror as a genre is that it allows for inventive storytelling, and UrbanSPOOK isn’t taking advantage of that.

Analog horror shouldn’t have so much detail, it’s supposed to be disturbing, uncomfortable not down-right horrible & freakish

[@helios2664]

That’s why it’s so bad in general now, it allows you to be inventive. But a little creativity is too hard so it just devolved into tropes.

[@WeaverOfStars]

Thats honestly what pisses me off about The Painter. The idea of a serial killer that leaves disturbing artwork after they left the scene is a genuinely creepy and decent idea. It reminds of some some small real life examples of that in real life cases like how a couple SKs were found to have some artwork stashed away of their victims. Supposedly the Black Doodler that was never caught was a serial killer that artistically depicted his victims. The idea is a interesting one and could work but UrbanSlug did not focus on doing anything with a artistic serial killer evading the police, no instead he just focused on going into disturbing graphic detail in text on the deaths over and over again which got samey and monotonous really quickly even if you ignore the more controversial SA elements. I actually think not having much displayed text at all and what happened to the victims and just having the images being attached to a heavily censored police report would of sold the concept enough along with PSAs and maybe some camera footage. Your brain would fill the gaps in that something really awful happened to these people just by seeing the art alone of the aftermath. Also like, have a detective or a survivor that doesn't die in 5 seconds after they are introduced. I am not that big of a fan of Mandela Catalogue but at the very least the overarching story has some actual characters and not just a dispenser of horror in the killers and no characters to be seen.

[@clinton8421]

What’s worse is that, because this guy did it, the story is now just gonna be this. You can’t copyright the idea of a serial killer leaving art of their victims behind, but good luck producing an analogue horror along these lines without starting some controversy.

[@pmester228]

So, in a horror series, the actual spooks is the first thing to fail. When I watched Mandela catalogue, I wasn't scared, I was mildly intrigued by a potential DEEPEST LORE. Gabriel's trollface was also more funny than scary. If you strip away the scares from Vita Carnis, you are left with the story of a slow alien invasion and the details of said invasion's ecology, which is still intriguing. If you strip away the shock value from urban spook, you are left with hobo serial killer and his police insider friend going around murdering people and painting it.

But I think the good thing about analogue horror reaching its saturation point is now people are going to have to go the extra mile than just flashing us scary digitally deformed faces with a VHS filter and inject some more creativity to the medium. Like the horror is mostly left to implication but I really like the premise of the Angel Hare series, actually doing sth productive with the old Christian Cartoons premise than just scary faces.

[@dusk4974]

Extreme discomfort can be horrific. But there's an art form to it, a skill and respect. Of which, Urban has neither. Good uncomfortable horror is that unsettling feeling of "oh damn, this killer is serious and isn't found yet. And he doesn't discriminate anyone: men, women, and teens, it's all fair game. He just stabs and dips and taunts the cops. That's...twisted." Urban's is bad.

[@Rei-Evergreen]

The way the series is written and layed out strikes me as very similar to how a lot of Creepypasta stories were written, with the excessive gore and incompetent police, down to the shock value content.

The late Rodger Ebert had a great line in his review of The Human Centipede which comes to mind whenever I see over the top horror series that have no qualities besides shock. "I am required to award stars to movies I review. This time, I refuse to do it. The star rating system is unsuited to this film. [...] It is what it is and occupies a world where the stars don't shine." There are things that could be mined and refined from works like this, but unfortunately the creator has the same curiosity of the medium like a knock-off Doug Walker.

The biggest issue with how UrbanSpook portrays CSA (outside of just directly making merchandise off of his CSA character) is that it adds to the very rampant problem in rape/CSA horror, that being that by using it for just shock value rather than to tell a story or a narrative, it paints rape/SA/CSA, which are two very real travesties that can lead to years upon years of trauma and pain, if not literally suicide, as though it is just a fictional concept. By essentially not taking matters such as rape, SA and CSA seriously and only adding it in to be like “LOOK! This female character in my horror story got RAPED! Isn’t that just so SCARRRYYYY!?!?!?!”, it paints that these real, legitimate crimes that happen to real life people are just fictionalized ideas that only exist to make people go “Wow, that’s really fucked up and spooky” and nothing else, rather than being able to sit down and think about how SA is actually horrifying and why you should sympathize with the victim because of their experience. This is also why it sucks that absolutely none of the characters in the story are written with any depth, and every character is basically just a NPC waiting to be made into some grossly graphic corpse. TL;DR: The reason it’s bad to only include rape/SA/CSA in your narrative if it’s only to shock the viewer is because it gives off the notion that you, as well as your audience, only view rape/SA/CSA as fictionalized concepts that can be used to disturb the audience and make you seem “hardcore” when all you’re actually doing is being super fucking disrespectful.

How would I improve it? They seldom or even *never* find the body. All they find is a person is missing, there are signs of struggle, some blood and other subtler clues at their house, but the person is nowhere to be found. Then they find the painting, and it's *very* telling in contents and title (that can still leave some details blank and up to the imagination to fill) I'm not a writing expert, but I think My version would make the watcher go: *A person is missing* "That can't be good" *Their house is empty, but there are some things in it that hint at something bad having happened* "Ok, I Know something bad has happened, but what exactly?" *The painting is found, and it's telling, with a title that confirms the suspicions* "....Oh....Oh NO..."

Here's a question: Considering that these tapes would have been recorded between 2001 and 2007, why are they even tapes at all and not DVDs? While VHS tapes were technically still in use until 2008, the use of dvds started surpassing them as early as 2000. It makes sense for a series taking place in the late 70s to early 90s to use VHS, it was what was around and popular, but as made clear by the phone number in the first video this supposedly takes place between 2001-2007, when VHS tapes were declining in use and dying off. Call it a nitpick but I just think it adds on to the overall sloppiness of the project.

@@braydentobin5150 I think the choice of it being on VHS is because that, although DVD is more widespread, I imagine that this police department is very small and is maybe a bit underfunded. Probably a good reason why there hasn't been a proper open investigation and more crackdowns in the area. They simply just don't have the amount of manpower. Although, it's weird that this case hasn't gone nationwide and alerted the attention of state authorities. I mean these two killers have already killed 38 people, and this is only the start of the series. I like urbanspook's content, but this is beginning to turn a bit unrealistic.
