50 States of Fright

Quality horror anthology production, in the vein of the recent Creepshow anthology. Every episode was pretty strong in story and production value, only let down by the Florida episode.

Went in with no expectations and I ended up watching the whole show . Yes it is binge-watchable and enjoyable . But not everything is great , here is my ranking for this anthology series :

5: Ball of twine , Kansas . By far the most bizarre and worst of these . Not scary with mediocre acting and horrible ending . 4/10

4: Destino , Florida . This one could be really good . I mean it is good but it had potential . It got ruined from the overuse of predictable jumpscares . The acting was ok and the story was lame . The atmosphere though was spooky and the overall story is creepy . 6.5/10

3: Sacred stiff , Oregon : I really like that story . I was anxious at first when they talked about Bigfoot but the design of Bigfoot if you consider the budget was great . The acting was good . But the story was predictable and whole story with just 2 episodes fells short . 7/10

2. The golden arm , Michigan . This was felt like a dark fairytale but it hides some messages . I don't want to explain , I want to keep it spoiler free . This was the only story that made you feel more than being scared . It made you feel sad . But the scary parts were lacking with just one good jumpscare . 8/10

1. Gray cloud island , Minnesota . The series scariest story and most unexpected . It makes you feel anxious and the atmosphere is scary . The acting is also great and I love the tale even if it has a bit more fantasy than the others . 9/10

Overall a good show with it's ups and downs but considering the budget a very well made . The series lack the scares but it's enjoyable . If you like horror go watch and if you want to have fun watch it.

This is not gonna make you jump out of your skin or hide behind your palms, but its entertaining.

Chronicle of tales, akin to say tales from the crypt or twilight zone. Simple short episodes of thought provoking stories.

Highly recommend to horror or terror fans.

I did not like it that much, some scenes were pretty unrealistic for a serie releasing in 2020. But considering it is a short serie with a seemingly low budget, watchable. Stories were ehmmm welllll (?) but not much original. If you want to get scared it can be a option, but if you want something to watch that will make your jaw drop, leave here immediatelly!!

I've watched 2 of the stories (The Golden Arm and Grey Cloud Island) so far (6 episodes) and have to admit that I'm impressed. They are what they are. Lower budget anthologies. But, they're very enjoyable. Don't expect fancy/expensive special effects here. Just 'good ole' camp fire type stories. If you take it at that and don't try to compare it to Million Dollar productions, I'm sure you'll be just as impressed. I won't give any spoilers. Don't you hate it when people give away the horror plot lines? Just watch and enjoy. UPDATE: I've finished watching the rest of the series (Ball of Twine, Scared Stiff, Destino Florida) and each story was equally good. One thing to understand about these stories is that each story is broken down into multiple episodes and each episode is under 10 minutes long. So, while there are 14 episodes in this seasons showing, they make up only 5 Stories. It's a different format. But I truly enjoyed it and I look forward to next season (if this new streaming service is still around then). The season was a Solid 8 Stars!
