Into the Dark

I really enjoy these horror movies from hulu. They are just good, classic horror movies. Nothing spectacular or amazing, or groundbreaking, but good enough I enjoy them and want to keep watching them. Kudos to Blumhouse.

I actually really enjoyed this episode. I was actually expecting something a little darker and was pleasantly surprised by the comedy element of it. Tom Bateman was fabulous playing the hitman, really good job. The three 'heroes' were really funny, I found myself laughing quite a lot. Having said that, I'm hoping that not all of the episodes are going to be comedic. I am expecting the next one to be downright scary. Watch this space.

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.

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.

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.
