Reviews

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant
Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
jbrbsmom I LOVE watching the talent on this show. This show has evolved through the years to be MORE about the art and has started showing the positive sides of competition.In the first few seasons, there was some negative interactions and pettiness and I thought that was sort of classless. NOW, they highlight teamwork and positive interactions and it really has become MUCH BETTER of a show.The contestants are USUALLY depicted in a positive light and are so super talented it really is exciting to watch what they will create each episode. My KIDS like to watch it as well, another reason I am glad that the interactions tend to be on the positive side and highlight the ART and what can be accomplished when people work TOGETHER.Of course, there is always the human nature element and there can be some unlikable qualities about a few of the contestants and it is a competition show: again, the artistic abilities of the people tend to be displayed more than petty quarrels which really make THIS show stand above others in its class.Personally, I am tired of watching people dispute and be cruel and petty...leave that to Big Brother and Survivor. I am all about talent and art and THAT is what makes this show so great. And that is what makes the contestants so GREAT. You really LIKE them and ROOT for them and WANT them ALL to win, so the whole show gives off this amazingly POSITIVE vibe and I am SO PROUD for the producers for maintaining it as such.KEEP this show going...most creative beautifully done talented show out there! It will hook you if you are a fan of artwork or just good talented people in general.
icyharris-539-169904 Why do their creations looked 10X better than the makeup jobs of half the shows on their channel, SyFy. Ever since I started watching this show, I am more observant on modern makeup jobs. To me, Star Wars set the standard, dispensing with bad masks and obviously zippered costumes. For these contestants, considering the time and budget they have, create some convincing creatures that match or even rival those special effects. What I hate though, which is a similar beef I have with "Project Runway" and "American Idol" is that they want the artists to be diverse when you can tell some of them are more comfortable with a particular genre- and I'm sure they will be just as successful as people that are more versatile. Like some are better at kiddie movie type makeup, some for horror movies, some for lightweight fantasy fare, some for comedies, and some for shows needing realistic battle and murder victim wounds. All I can say is SyFy and other productions, you need to hire some of these people and fire your current staff!
CinematicThylacine FaceOff is a show that varies in quality from episode to episode, it all is based on both the challenges and the contestants. Sometimes you'll have a great weekly challenge but mediocre artists, and sometimes you'll have outstanding artists with an uninspiring weekly challenge. When it's "bad" it's slightly boring at worst, when it's "good" it's freaking epic! For every two or three boring generic make ups on this show there is one awesome one that will make you drop your jaw in amazement. Special mention goes to the Neptune Werewolf, RJ's Lizard Flower, and a majority of makeups that Roy or Eric Fox made. If FaceOff had awesome challenges and awesome make ups every episode I would give it a 9, however since this is not always the case I can only give it an 8....
poe426 It's been said that, given a set of paints and a brush and a million years, a chimp could paint the Mona Lisa. Maybe. Given a makeup kit and a million years, I seriously doubt I could do a decent zombie makeup. I've tried; it's just not something I'll ever be good at. The makeups the contestants on this show crank out, with the clock ticking and under microscopic scrutiny, is mind-boggling. I don't think I've seen a single creation by any one of them that I would hesitate to put front and center. Regardless of whether or not they "make it" on this show, they've all got more artistic ability in their pinkie toes than I do in my entire bulk. As far as I'm concerned, there ARE no losers on this show. Sincerely, Dazzled.
