Into the Dark

These are all individual stories as part of the Moniker " Into the Dark "

Some for me are good Some not so good and others average.

Overall the acting is solid and the cinematography is again solid but nothing outstanding, serves its purpose type stuff.

Episode I liked Ep2, Ep4,Ep7, Ep10 Average Ep5, Ep6, Ep8, Ep11 Didn't like Ep1, Ep3, Ep9

Overall not bad, a bit lightweight but of some interest with a few I was really drawn into.

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.

If you're watching this first episode and are into all things horror you are probably thinking haven't I seen this already Well the answer is yes! This is almost the exact same story that occupied a segment from Patient Seven (same segment writer) The story is a bit more fleshed out and a bit bloodier but still no excuse to do the same thing again in less than 2 years for a horror series - there are plenty of horror writers out there looking for a break without recycling stuff (well I supposes it works for Hollywood) That said it was watchable - again - as it was slightly better than the short and some nice deaths

Lower rating has I had only recently seen Patient Seven

Edit July 2020 - upgrading my score from 3 to 5 after part way thru season 2 There's some real turkeys in the show but some passable horror stories especially in season 2 - A Nasty Piece of Work was a pleasant surprise

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.
