Twisted tales mostly suck, what about Two Twisted?

OK, going to have a rant because i got rejected from two twisted.

Firstly I watched the re-run of the first series; twisted tales, which they were saying was being brought back by popular demand but it was on at 1.30am on saturday night so go figure.

I submitted a short script of mine for the proposed new series. This same script had been doing the rounds via my agent in the States for a new series called new masters of horror but they didn't take it in the end; i think the whole series over there will be written by the new masters of horror i.e. sam raimi or clive barker etc.

Anyway I watched twisted tales and they sucked: Big Time! All but one out of the four i saw was complete shit.

There was one featuring Bruce Spence and it was pretty cool, mainly due to the awesome acting by Bruce. The other three were soooo bad. Script, Direction, everything. Couldn't believe it. One wasn't even anywhere near a horror/thriller or even had a twist worth standing up for.

My question is; will the second series suck as much as the episodes i saw of the first?
God I hope not. They apparentkly went through 3000 scripts so they better get something good on the reel. Mind you, in the first series they used the same crew for all the files. And you could tell. Now nothing against the crew as they were obviously very capable dudes. But you can't really use the same cinematographer for all of them and exoect them to look visually different. Not with the obviuos time constraints.

So what if you are using a different director, allow them to use their own cameraman and you'd get a better result.

That's my tweo cents. And if even one of them sucks I'll scream because of course my script rocked.
