    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.

    [It] won't earn many points for subtlety, but for aficionados of the horror genre it's the kind of stylish gorefest that should keep them up nights.

    This series isn't for everyone. For people that know movies and know horror, you won't be dissapointed. (For the most part) I wasn't too thrilled about chocalate, however jenifer, Cigarrette Burns, and one other i cant recall, are just damn good. No if's ands or buts...... well maybe a few butts.… Expand

    How could so many reviewers like this? It was terrible. I only saw one episode but it was very stupid. It was completely unscary but had a lot of gore and a rape scene for no apparent reason. Here are some tips: 1. If you are attacked on a road then your attacker leaves you and travels into the woods, stay on the road, DO NOT follow after your attacker into the woods. 2. If you are being chased, run towards civilization, not deeper into a wooded area. Also, do not stop for 10 minutes at a time to rig up a trap because you could've kept running and been 10 minutes away. 3. If disposing a body there is no need to show it to other people, especially if showing them means you'll have to kill them, too. 4. Dead bodies do not need holes drilled in their eyes. They are dead already so it doesn't make a difference, but if that's what you're into I guess go ahead.… Expand
