Review - Contagious at Canterbury Tales Experience
Contagious is a brand new event and one that really surprised us.
Walking up to an innocent and quiet looking church we had no idea that we were about to be led into an interactive story that could rival some of the bigger budget attractions around.
The event is short and involving, but that doesn't distract from the quality. The surroundings made us want to stop and look at everything, including the well dressed mannequins and scenery. The problem is, we were so focused on the detail that we often missed when the characters were real and therefore jumped as the waxworks models suddenly seemed to come to life.
The actors were extremely professional throughout and delivered a great story with amusing interaction (including some pithy put downs for those who decided to talk back). The show itself has the right mix of quick scares delivered with impeccable timing - many of the scares were delivered in quick succession to really increase the impact. Often,we would come out of one scare to be immediately hit with another!
The attraction has been experimenting with scare events (last year saw storytelling followed by a spooky walk) but this is the first year that they have created a dedicated scare experience. We;re pleased to say that their experiment has been a success and we understand that the team are already looking to expand in the future.
