I'm going to show my age here. But how can no one see that Guillermo del Toro is channeling Alfred Hitchcock presents? So far this show is a masterpiece. The autopsy gave me the first real feeling of horror I've had in years! The premise is genius. His choice of directors is masterful. So far I have not seen anything to say there is a flaw in his work. Or for that matter any of the directors. Kudos to Netflix to releasing this series in small bites. As much as I would love to binge all of this show I really enjoy looking forward to what's coming next. The choice of actors is spot on. The variety of stories is refreshing and truly has been needed in a stale genre for some time. I am completely taken aback at the story lines that this team has come up with. It's fresh, intriguing, scary, provocative and needs to be recognized for what it is. Horror in the 21first century. The contrast with what Guillermo is doing here to what has been spoon fed to the horror fans is astounding. He's letting directors show us what can be accomplished by letting them show their talents. I'm excited to see where this series leads us! Again thank you Netflix for bringing this to us.

Although the premise is good it's expected poorly. Stories are boring and lack substance. Tries way too hard to be current with all the woke characters. But it does do a great job with the kills. It does have really good effects. As far as slashers go it would serve the writers to go back to when the genre started and see what really grabbed the audience and kept them coming back. As much as it likes to draw from the terror and thrills from Scream it misses the mark. Just adding the woke factor doesn't make it a good slasher story. What it does is make it seem like a cheap knockoff. There are series out there that do it far better.

I love shows like a court cam, Live PD, On Patrol and other true crime shows. This isn't that. Okay Just imagine if Jerry Springer and Judge Judy had a baby show with a disability. Just sad. Hard to watch.

If you're looking for horror with some substance then this is not for you. It has a style equal to daytime soap operas. Although the kills can be somewhat inventive they are disconnected from the story. The story lines are sophomoric and lacking style. Sadly they missed the mark.

Best biography I've ever seen. The format, editing, content and casting are perfect. The family's involvement was really great. Well worth the watch. If you are a fan it's a must.

A missed opportunity. I had such high hopes for a riveting spy story. Great cast but the story unfolds so slowly that I lost interest in it. Sadly it never developed into a good production.

I enjoyed this show. It has an interesting concept. Page Turner does a great job. I'll keep watching. But bring your calculator. There is a lot of math involved to get to the end. Lol.

As someone who saw the original in the theater I came into this with a bit of skepticism. That faded quickly. The story line was preserved and even enhanced. Musically I'd say the performances were not as on point as the original. But if this was my firs5 exposure to WSS I'd say it was a wonderful performance. The choreography was fantastic! It was the first thing that grabbed me and don't let go. But above all over performances Rita Moreno was the standout. She is such a great performer. And at 90 years old she is as beautiful as ever. Her version of Somewhere is wonderful. And a very clever twist on the story. Overall I loved it.

Nice to see something new. It's definitely worth a watch. Loved the noir feeling of the entire picture. Excellent cast with good performances. Bradley Cooper does not disappoint. He even channels a bit of his Midnight Meat Train performance. Enjoyed it very much.

This is a solid attempt at showing the hardships the pioneers faced. Sam Elliot's persona ties it all together. Truly a great performance by him. But the big surprise is Tim McGraw. His raw edge acting style sets him apart from the rest of the cast. He makes you believe his character. His strong love for his family shows. Highly recommended. It's nice to see a real western made again.

Think murder on the orient express under water. And on land. An engaging story with twists and turns. Characters are believable and well acted. Nice binge series.

Fantastic cinematography. Great locations and themes. Will Smith fits perfectly. Him being a neophyte to being an adventure brings you in to the story more.

Don't think of Joe Exotic weird. Head In to it with a new story in mind. The story is captivating and the characters are interesting. But what makes this show is the editing and format. Wonderfully done.

This one will keep you thinking. Even after the credits. Not the typical Jason movie. I'm glad I came across it. I wasn't expecting this kind of movie from Jason. Worth a watch.

I was looking for it to go one direction and it went completely into a story that was WAAAY out there. Hey it's French. But it did keep me to the end. If you like offbeat horror this is for you. And it is not for sensitive people. An excellent production.

Love this show. Billy Bob delivers supported by a stellar cast. I can't say enough about the quality of entertainment they deliver. But I do have to say it's time to eliminate smoking in cinema. It's not romantic. It's not dramatic. It's killing people and it causes cancer. Just stop it.

Not very good. Acting was fine but the story was disjointed. I didn't go into with any hopes of a Soprano style story. But I was hoping for a quality gangster story. Not sure what it was to be honest. I wasn't a waste of time but it is forgettable.

Elvira has some of the best comedic timing of anyone out there! I grew up with horror host movies. She rates up in the top 5. Great choices for the movies selected. House on Haunted Hill was the first movie I saw in the theaters. Scared the hell out of me. Oh and what sorcery is this? She looks amazing at 70! Like the 40 years didn't exist. What a treat.

This could have been more. Sadly they missed an opportunity to expand the who, what, where and why about the event. It could have been a great science fiction work. Plus too many shots that made it look like a Quentin Tarantino movie. Just feet walking along. Loved the first one. This one gave me something I've seen already.

Just watch it for the fun of it. Don't over think it. A cross between Sucker Punch and John Wick. I was entertained.
