Masters of Horror (2005–2007)
4/10
Blood and guts do not equate to suspense and horror
6 December 2006
Okay, so after watching about 10 episodes of this series, most in the new season, I am SOOOOOO tired of seeing blood and guts (i.e., human intestines) being pulled out of a human being and shoved into my face--and the face being chopped off by an animal trap, as in PELTS. Gore has its place, but this show is more gore than substance. Although some of the shows have been quite good, most have tried to gross us out, and even then they use the old tried-and-true plots--going back to the old Universal horrors--but without style or intelligence or artistry. At least TALES FROM THE CRYPT on HBO--well, in the old days when it was on, I guess) was more about style than grossness. Mind you, I am not squeamish..but this show isn't even close to the class of TFTC and other horror/suspense shows of the past. Bad TV is bad TV.
