People who complain about this series are not true fans of the horror genre. Episodes like Imprint, Cigarette Burns and The Fair Haired-Child were a fine example in what horror films should be... TERRIFYING. If you are offended by images of nudity, gore, satanism or basically anything else included in the genre we refer to as "HORROR" than I suggest you go rent something like Scream 3 or Jeepers Creepers. *Also, I dont know how people can post negative comments on this series after only watching one episode. I would say that 6 out of the 13 episodes are extremely good, and the rest are just campy generic cheese.*

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.

They're a mixed bag. Some episodes are very generic, some are very good. A little too gory.

The first thing that pops about this series is the reactions from viewers. If you look below it's predominately extreme, with people either loving it or hating it. Generally a good sign of a series that in my opinion is amazing. Sure some of the scripts many not be the best, but that's what makes this series so awesome. It caters to everything; B movie scream queens, in your face rip-it-all-out action, asylum killers, fights for survival, mental mind-f*** trips, and anything else you'd expect from an Ed Wood and John Carpenter love child creation, who theyaffectionately named Masters of Horror. Every episode is amazing in it's own right, and I know I'm not going to stray from this series for a long time to come.

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 (and, heck, TV in general) should be.

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.

İ'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... But i wanna warn you that this series are only for horror film fans.i don't think any other people would love this as i do!
