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.

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

"Masters of Horror," like any anthology, can be judged only after many installments, but it's off to a tantalizingly creepy start.
