This is a story told a hundred times by a hundred better writers. I'll admit it's kind of entertaining where I kept pausing it to see if it really was a 1957 Fender Stratocaster as I know my stuff about guitars. What I found amusing at first was when the boy knew who previously owned the guitar he proceeds to play the guitar covered in blood. I don't care if it's Jimi Hendrix, Yngwie Malmsteen or David Gilmour I refuse to play a guitar with even a drop of blood on it.
The love child of Jack White and Steve Buscemi buys a guitar and MAGIC happens! Who needs to practice when you have that right guitar! Somehow without a big tour or what seems like he finished up the album he's got it "all". I'm sorry most people hate new music and would rather just stick to what is already successful. Plus you've got to tour and have an album out before hot girls are throwing themselves at you. Sure if the label believed in you, you get an advance to do an album but I get it. You've only got 20 or so minutes to make a compelling story as this isn't back in season 4 or 5 of Twilight Zone from the 1960s where each episode was double the length.
The lead actor in this can't act. The music is awful and the guy can't sing. Thankfully autotune became a necessity more and more after this episode came out. This just seems like a failed reject episode of another show or movie and doesn't have that umph certain episodes of Twilight Zone have. Not to say that every episode of Twilight Zone was perfect. As there is a ton of awful ones. This is a so bad its good episode without any doubt. If the guitar was truly cursed he should have burnt it instead of driving the way he did.. and gosh darn Forest didn't even call it the Twilight Zone in the opening. That's embarrassing. It's like he knows it's not twilight zone how awful this generation of it is and is waddling around that green room for that pay check.
