50 States of Fright

The stories are ok, and there are enough jump scares and gore to keep me watching, but the real reason this series is so entertaining is due to the quality and familiarity of the cast in each episode. Some surprising and welcome faces elevate the experience, and I hope this series continues for that reason alone.

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!

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!!

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.

50 States of Fright in a new straming service 'Quibi' is short horror we needed. The legendary Sam Raimi makes good use of this platform to present horror in a short and restricted time.

The segments of Michigan (Rachel Brosnahan and Travis Fimmel) and Minnesota (Asa Butterfield) were the best of all the segments. I hope for the second season with a little bit of improvement in storyline and spooky scenes.

My Rating : 3.5/5
