Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

yu-85167 I just saw these 2 episodes because famous directers engaged in. Both titles let you feel like watching more than 2 hours great horror film rather than single drama episode. Both episodes have crazy and creepy tone in entire story. If you're a big horror fan, you'll absolutely love these 2 titles!Highly recommended!

MJWalker Horror fans (I'm speaking to the over 12's, although if you're under 12 I apologise for what you might deem an insult): In short, if you appreciate having your imagination disturbed by well written, original storytelling, punctuated by unpredictable well planted scares, and delivered via convincing performances, then I can heartily recommend - AVOIDING THESE STEAMERS - made by directors who have apparently long since past their sell by date. It's no accident that almost every episode feels as if it were made in the 1980's. Not to put blame squarely on the shoulders of some of these old boys (or indeed the 80's) because where would we be without certain movies from the likes of Argento, Carpenter, Landis, Dante and Barker (Actually Clive, WTF are you doing in there?! Glad to see Romero had the good sense to give it a miss as I'm sure he was asked to partake...). More perhaps we should point the finger at creator Mick Garris whose credentials include the logic defying and depressingly ill-advised TV remake of Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece 'The Shining'.Perhaps it is an indication of the state of television today. Are we so starved of good TV horror that we applaud any old sloppy schlock that the networks excrete onto our sets? Sadly, maybe so.Normally I wouldn't see the point of adding a comment that doesn't argue the faults and merits of a production, I'd just rate it accordingly. However, as this series is woefully lacking in any merit (with perhaps the sole exception of the theme tune) I write this as more of a warning than a review: DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY. If you disagree with me then it's more than likely that you haven't seen enough decent horror. Perhaps the earlier films of some of these directors would be a much better place to start, but if these 'Masters' of Horror were being assessed on these works alone, they'd never have been allowed to graduate with even their Bachelor's degree. Unless of course they were studying for a degree from the University Of S**t.

astonmartin7 The Masters of Horror series which began in 2005 is certainly a mixed bag. Not only are there many different film-makers working on these episodes, but the budgets seem to be limited on some level.Like the first 5 seasons of The X-Files, the episodes are shot in Vancouver and the British Columbia environment in Canada, so directors need to be creative in order to make it all work as effectively as possible.The best of the bunch that I've seen so far are: William Malone's The Fair Haired Child (which is an emotional and horrific fairy-tale), Joe Dante's surprisingly effective and detailed Homecoming (bear with the opening 5 minutes or so), Don Coscarelli's Incident On and Off a Mountain Road, Lucky McKee's Sick Girl and Dario Argento's second offering Pelts which may have the highest level of gore and sleaze in all the Masters of Horror so far! Way to go, Dario! You're still the man!Next tier down would be Takashi Miike's Imprint, John Carpenter's Cigarette Burns and possible Larry Cohen's Pick Me Up. There are about three more I've seen which I won't mention (out of respect for the film-makers!).

gene87-1 This show does for me what movies cannot. It makes me think seriously about life. I cannot explain why. But it is so real. You feel like you are in the show. Not in some campy, oh this is funny sense, but in a wow, I am so scared out of my mind right now. I feel like most of the episodes are out of body experiences, start to finish.As a person I am always thinking "What would I do in that situation; what is the next move?" so when I see people get killed for doing stupid stuff in these shows, I think the same might happen to me.One of the things I absolutely love are the characters. I have seen a few of my favorite actors/ actresses on this show. And also some that I never heard of before, but thoroughly enjoyed. Also, they are good at putting sex into a TV show, in an adult, but yet not overly done way. It is very tasteful.You feel very much like an adult when watching this show, and for me that is good. And when I get older and have more money to spend, this is definitely something I want to have in my DVD collection, and hopefully when it is all said and done, (which I hope does not happen anytime soon), they will put all the episodes in a beautiful box set, with a nice booklet, and a ton of extra features.All in all, if you are looking for something better than all the cheap remakes, and bad horror one-offs, then check this out. YOu will either pee your pants, or wish your closest friends were there to enjoy the show with you.
