8- Mother's Day

Juvenile sexuality is back in full swing with the first half of this fairly lame episode, which plays more like an 80's teen comedy than anything resembling horror. A new kid in town has people invade his house and throw a party, which he has to keep under control or face the wrath of his stepfather. Parents suck, man! Yawn.

The second half is about a radio DJ who accidentally causes a homicide by being insensitive. The ethical issues presented raise it above the mess that makes up the first half, but it's still a pretty tedious and repetitive series of nightmares where she's haunted by her actions.

The standard-issue bad acting and writing really cripple this episode because it keeps the characters from being realistic or involving despite the compelling story. Many lines are delivered like the characters don't understand what they're saying. It's called rehearsals, people. They're not expensive.
