A great premise that could have been told in a little over twenty minutes like most episodes of Alfred Hitchcock and the Twilight Zone. Instead it drags and drags and drags thanks to padding, illogical moves by the characters, and scenes that just aren't needed.
Where to be begin?
1. Suppose you are a loan shark and somebody owes you money and you promise him one more day? Do you give him time to get the money? No, you have a thug beat the crap out of him and vandalize his truck, his only possesion with any real value.
2. Suppose you are the schmuck who owes the money and you potentially have a piece of propety worth three hundred thousand dollars and you encounter somebody willint to pay. Do you follow the very specific instructions of that person to get your money which you need that night? Nope. You continually antagonize the guy and disobey him even when you encounter a trapped demon even if you don't beleive in demons.
3. Suppose you are a collector and you encounter somebody who has a very dangerous demon summoning book in a storage locker. What do you do? Do you take charge of exploring the locker, pay the guy a little extra cash, maybe a few thousand to stay out of the way? He can watch, but he can't interfere? Nope, even though it is a very dangerous locker, you let the moron run the show.
The demon when it finally appears is just a writhing monster. It kills and then bam the episode ends. Two people die pointlessly.
So many scenes they could have cut. The opening death scene. The episode doesn't really take off until the demon expert shows up.
Very disappointing.
