GOOD HORROR + CRIME DRAMA WITH TWISTS!!
Out of all my Horror genre watching experience, found an UNIQUE n REFRESHING concept - A Mix of Police Investigation n Horror (Haunting Ghost killings) .
For a change from the usual horror stories, here, the Vengeful Ghost killings are mistook (atleast by the police detective) as Serial Killer's killings😂 n an extensive police investigation is carried out accordingly.
Considering 8 years back past murders and present day murders, Police concluded that either a psycho serial killer is at loose or a copycat killer has emerged .
I found this concept, New n Good n at the same time, Funny .
***
The miniseries is of High School setting as the title "Strange School Tales" suggests.
(Watched the 4 episodes, 30 mins each Version)
Story is Good with a lot of TWISTS but the Production, mainly the Quality of the Camera Work looked like decade-old movies n so Surprised to know that this is a 2020 series n not of 2000s or 2010s.
Initially, Very SLOW PACED but later, it got INTERESTING - The Haunting, The Past n the Present murders, The Suspense of the Murders etc.
Screenplay is Good.
The Murders of the present day n those 8 years back, all happened n happening in the same High School, the main stories of the past n present, every murder story, everyone related to them n the Plot Twists, EVERYTHING is WELL WRITTEN n WELL EXECUTED.
But at times, it gives some Unclear vibes (either the Story or Screenplay or the Editing) n so gives a feel of lacking something.
Every Actor performed well.
The Priest, the variations in his character are surprising n that actor acted those very well.
The three guys, classmates from the past, how each one of them became a Detective, a Teacher (in the same High school where they are the alumni) n a Priest, especially why the Priest chose to be a priest, n how they are involved n related to the deaths back then n to the deaths of present day, is Well Written .
Even that suspense is well maintained, some are predictable n the other plotlines are surprising.
The Ghost gal's past story is sad n the killer is a surprise.
The Ending is cool, apt to the Horror setting of the Story - The Ghosts got their revenge n deserved justice.

I found the New Approach of a Serial Killer, discussed here, as Very Funny😂
So here they say, a Serial Killing happens when multiple ghosts / vengeful spirits enter into one person's body n take their revenge n so the killings look random n like a serial killing, huh !? :o
So, they suggest to blame the spirits n not the serial killer (human), what? 😂
So, It's all the mistake of the spirits n not the psycho serial killer? Haha.
***
My Rating is 8.5 / 10.
For the Story, it would be 9 but bcz of bad camera work, sad to give less rating.
If the Direction, Production, Cinematography, BGM n the Quality is maintained right to the point, Rating would be 9+ .
Give a try! Especially Horror genre lovers who love to watch every type n a variety of Horror concepts.
