Critic Reviews

Paul Katz

Happy Halloween. [28 Oct 2005, p.79]

Ray Richmond

It's simply a great idea that, if early indications are accurate, could stand as a horror classic for a television genre that's been inconsistent at best over the years. Read full review

Diane Werts

Any doubts the tube can get graphic enough for today's gore-heads disappear almost instantly with tonight's premiere installment. Read full review

Tom Gliatto

Horror isn't my thing, but this is pretty good. [7 Nov 2005, p.41]

Melanie McFarland

True, it's not quite "Tales From the Crypt" but is better than "Tales From the Darkside." Read full review

Linda Stasi

And that's the problem. Is it horror or just horrible? Is it scary or just bloody? Read full review

Bill Gibron

If the first offering, "Incident On and Off a Mountain Road," is any indication, the hoped-for resurrection of in-your-face frights is still a couple of corpses away. Read full review

This series isn't for everyone. For people that know movies and know horror, you won't be dissapointed.

?'ve waiting for a show like this since "twilight zone".But this is far more better than twilight zone, not only because of its' directors but also there's much more quality in pictures and there are great effects these days and using these at maximum quality really makes a ?'ve waiting for a show like this since "twilight zone".But this is far more better than twilight zone, not only because of its' directors but also there's much more quality in pictures and there are great effects these days and using these at maximum quality really makes a film to scare people. i have quite a big horror films archieve in my home but this series will be above all...

Didn't quite live up to the expectations... still far better than anything else cable has given us horrorfans since Tales from the Crypt. We'll have to wait and see if it can stand the test of time.

I watch shows like this for their escape value. A political agenda posing as entertainmet is a turm off which is what I did midway through your last episode.

1 for most of them for being generic, non-scary, and pointless. (And really, I know it's horror, but do we HAVE to have so many gratuitous topless shots?) But 10 for tonight's episode, "Homecoming," which blew them all away. Tightly written, angry, funny, and scary...what horror 1 for most of them for being generic, non-scary, and pointless.

Worst television episode I've ever seen. Absolute sensless, opaque, unintelligible crap. Dark, annoying, unexplained, weird, pointless, made no sense, wasn't scary. A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME. Huge disappointment.
