The Demon Song - 8/10

Yo? YO??? What do you mean yo?

The Demon song starts off as an extremely atmospheric horror but the answers to the mysteries in part 2 don't quite live up to the set up and feel fairly rushed. Would love to see this writer do a four parter.

Positives

The past future: This takes place in 2020, for 1 and dodo this is a future setting. Somehow they succeed in making our modern day feel really alien, loved this element.

AtmosphereIn part 1 there is SUCH a good atmosphere due to the creepy demon song lurking in the background of every scene. I never normally notice sound design, but this was stellar.

Negatives

Conclusions:  The creature being an other dimensional being is literally the plot to the story right before this right?? but unfortunately not given time to go into the depth of the miniaturist.

Bye bye vibes: Part 1 almost entirely relies on vibes, which I'm not against at all when done well. They just kinda leave when it comes time to explain what is happening and suddenly I am a lot less invested.
