I don't know how many people, if any watch this show, but there is some great stuff here. It is a tales from the crypt/twilight zone kinda show.
I have only scene a few episodes so far. So far the best are Family which stars Norm from cheers and directed by John Landis. This is a great episode, a brilliant satirical horror story, lots of gore, and a lot of laughs, and it was written from the writer of Frailty which was a great horror film.
Next would be cigarette burns by John Carpenter, which is the best thing he has done in well, well a long time. It is about a famous film that causes people to go mad and a private dick who is hired to find it. I also liked the fact that some of it took place in Vancouver considering the series is shot here.
Another good one is called The Damn thing directed by Tobe Hooper, which is about a town that goes crazy. Other than the ending this has some very interesting characters and the grossest stuff ever on T.V
and of course the famous banned episode Imprint by Takashi Miike, now to describe this episode would probably be breaking the rules here so I won't, but my lord is it sick, so sick it is banned from cable TV, but you can download it or rent it, some great stuff there.
There are some stinkers like the V word, which is directed by Ernest Dickerson, who is a director for the L word, so I thought it would be funny, it wasn't, it was kinda dull, not like the others that I have seen.
anyways this is a great show, each episode is different with a different type of horror story.
Just finished watching the first season (and first 4 episodes on season 2). It's a great little series with some fantastic episodes (and some duds).
I'm going to watch Imprint tonight. From all the hype surrounding it, I hope it delivers.
Family and Cigarette Burns were good, but my favourites are The Fair Haired Child and Jenifer. Fantastic Episodes.
I'll agree with you, I didn't like the L Word... the weakest so far. Also wasn't a fan of Homecoming, as I thought it was way too heavy handed. Also a little bit disappointed with Dance of the Dead.
I'll agree with you, I didn't like the L Word... the weakest so far.
LOL. I think you mean the V Word. The L Word is about lesbians. Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Masters of Horror is awesome. Sure, there's a couple that are subpar (I don't think Tobe Hooper's made a good horror movie since the Texas Chainsaw Massacre) but a lot of them of great and all of them seem to at least try to be original.
My favorite, by far, was Dreams In The Witch House. One of the darkest and grimmest, for sure, and, of course, gotta love Lovecraft. I think Stuart Gordon's the only one who can really adapt his work properly.
Imprint was also fantastic as well as Cigarette Burns and both of Dario Argento's films.
I hope there's a third season. I'm not exactly sure the show's been doing all that great. There was a lot less hype surrounding the second season. I've got my fingers crossed.
All you guys that have not yet seen "Incident On and Off a Mountain Road" (or something like that) be sure to move it to the top of your list.
It's throwback slasher formula, but also very well done.
It's direceted by the guy who did "Phantasm" (also, see that if you haven't) -- and the episode even has Angus Scrimm in it -- a real treat if you know who that is.
Incident On And Off A Mountain Road was the first MOH I ever saw. After that, I was hooked. I loved the survivalist angle. It's always fun, not to mention satisfying, to watch a protagonist outsmart a baddie who's obviously bigger and stronger than they are. Angus Scrimm was hilarious as well. Some really original comic relief coming from him. I was surprised to hear it all coming from the infamous Tall Man. I kept expecting him to say "boooyyyyy!"
As for Phantasm, I'm partial to its sequel. It's a lot more cheesy and over the top (quadrupal-barrelled shotguns, homemade flamethrowers, and a chainsaw faceoff... I mean, c'mon!). There's plenty of juicy killer "ball" action as well. That thing was the highlight of the first one for me.
Incident On and Off a Mountain Road is the best one I have seen so far. This was great, I loved how the two storiers were inter cut, worked very well. The production value for this was also great, didn't look like tv, but that of a feature film. This was more adventure than horror, but it sure did have some horror in it.
If you like good horror this series is great and I would highly recomend this for all horror fans, this isn't like a regular tv show, it has all the gore you would except, and want.
I was told to watch an episode called "Family" staring George Wendt and directed by John Landis. I enjoyed that quite a bit, it has a very classic thriller style and mode of storytelling to it. I thought it was very good. Half the psychological thrillers released theatrically aren't as good as this one was.
I hate to say it but I don't think it's happening. If it were happening, it'd be happening next month, which means info would be scattered across the net, not to mention every major horror site online. Unfortunately, that's not the case. The most up to date info I found is from February. Not exactly reliable if you ask me.
They should do anoher season! So far I've loved every episode except picke me up. It was too tame fo rmy tastes. Sure, there was some blood and nudity but you barely got to see any actual kills and I couldn't even tell the characters from one another. The concept of two killers fighting for territory was intriguing, but ultimately failed in its excecution.
I've loved all the other episodes I've watched. My sis and I cooperated to buy the box set. So far I've seen:
Imprint (Excellent. 10/10. I has some weak plot points but it sure as hell delievers on the Horror, both on gore and pure terror. Awesome film)
Homecoming (not really a Horror and too in-your face with its morals, but I liked it)
Cigarette Burns (my fave. I loved the red-herring with the Angel. The movie could still work without it, but it only enhanced my enjoyment of the movie)
The Fair-Haired Child (cool ep. reminded me of my own stuff. It had a very creative monster in it).
Jennifer (I had nightmares about this chick! :O )
Sick Girl (Very funny and at the same time disturbing Horror-Comedy. Very entertaining and I friggin' love Angela Bettis, but, sad to say, she gave the worst performance in this particular case. The characters were all likeable as well in my view, except for the Granny)
and last but not least...Dance of the Dead (I think this one is underrated. I loved it, AND it had Robert Englun in it! I loved the bleak future it portrays. Most of the characters were Punks, but they had an excuse for it. Living in the Skeets must've sucked big time. It had a little too much blurry editing, but I just loved the concept too much to pay attention to it).
