Into the Dark

Too many of the installments in this series have taken an inherently ridiculous premise and tried to turn it into serious horror. This one knows it's silly and leans in. Fast-paced, funny slasher schlock.

I'm going to rate each movie of the series so far...

The Body 4/10 This movie is my least favorite. It is a longer version of a short film of the same name. Bad acting. Flesh and Blood 6/10 This movie had a nice twist, but it was a little predictable. The acting was decent. New Year New You 6/10. This movie was nicely done. I enjoyed the acting, but it could have explained some things a little more in my opinion. Pooka 2/10 This installment was my least favorite. It started out promising, but it kept jumping around and confusing the heck out of me. I still do not totally understand what happened. Down 8/10. This installment was very well done. It was exciting, and kept my attention to the very good ending. Treehouse 9/10 This movie was my favorite! I had no clue what it was about going in, but I was very pleased, and loved the twist! Well done! I cannot wait to view the rest of the installments! This is a great series!!!

Young Kimberly attempts to overcome her mom's mystery death to fix her agoraphobia. However, she begins to sense she is in harm's way as she lives with her dad.

A character study of two emotionally or mentally disturbed souls . One the Father . Two the Daughter . This 1:33 minute episode is very well acted . The limited characters (Diana Silvers as Kimberly, and Dermot Mulroney as her father) are well casted, and comfortably take command, guiding the story along.. "Flesh & Blood" shows that maybe Into the Dark is worth sticking around a whole year for. "Flesh & Blood" is a more conventional thriller, but its deft execution doesn't let it feel stale. "Flesh & Blood" takes its time setting up its characters and conflict, but once it gets going it doesn't stop. Very good thriller.

This show is great. Every episode starts a little bit boring because it tries to set the characters and how every episode is connected to the holiday of the month. Some episodes are not as good as they could be like Treehouse (1x06), School Spirit (1x11) and Pooka! (1x03). But some of them are a must watch like Pure (1x12), Flesh & Blood (1x02), All That we destroy (1x08) and my personal favorites are New Year, New You (1x04), The Body (1x01) and Down (1x05). Give it a try to some episodes. They're good to kill some time and to watch some horror movies of the holiday you're in.

Look, I like the show. My issue is that everything is looked up on sites like this one, imdb now. On the front of Hulu today shows a movie titled Blood Moon. Go look for it. You'll NEVER find it. That's because it's an episode of I to the Dark. But nowhere on its Hulu details page does it mention into the dark. The only way I found out is by searching one of the actors and tracing it back. Who would purposely do this? Most who look things up first will pass this up like I was about to. Typically the only reason you can't find a movie is because it was made so awfully that it doesn't even have a page on IMDb. It's just strange that so many people put time into something and they make it this hard to care about. Oh well. It's not that great anyway. Into the Dark has many better episodes to choose from.
