Bloodride

This reminded me of Tales of the unexpected more so than Black Mirror but then again I am older than most on here.

Naturally with being an anthology some stories are going to be more enjoyable than others, but it was a very solid overall enjoyable horror series. I think some horror stories work much better being shorter. So the series format of these works very well and none of the stories overstay their welcome.

Another reviewer said "Twilight Zone in colour" and the way they all learn a lesson during their episode, and then get on this bus. I can really see that. I found it all very enjoyable though.

With Norwegian movies and shows it's really a hit or miss, especially the dialogue can seem too rehearsed. I really enjoyed this one, although many episodes are more thriller/psychological than horror but still right up in my alley. I really appreciate that they chose to cast colored, talented actresses like Sanna in ep 5 which is rare in Norwegian productions. I hope to see her in many more shows as she's truly a great actress!

The rating of Bloodride is currently at 6.7 at the moment. Surprisingly really low, with average episodes rating 6. Bloodride is actually pretty cool. It's not an extra, big budgeted nor have high quality writing. But it's still amusing, i really enjoyed watching it. And there's always a "twist" ending that was unexpected (at least for me). The story is "different" and simple, It's not super gory or intense. It's worth checking out. Definitely underrated, on IMDb level, Bloodride should at least get a 7.8

This Norwegian series is made up of six unrelated stories. Each one follows characters as things get increasingly creepy and lead to a 'twist' ending. Like another reviewer I was reminded of 'Tales of the Unexpected'... as with that series the twists aren't too surprising but that didn't spoil my enjoyment. There were a few gory moments but nothing that is likely to disturb horror fans. Inevitably some episodes are better than others but I still enjoyed them all. Many had scenes that made me wince and one genuinely gave me the chills. I'd certainly recommend this to fans of the genre; if you don't like it you won't waste too much time as the episodes are only thirty minutes long.

The series is available both in the original Norwegian, with subtitles if needed, and dubbed. I watched the first episode in English and wasn't too keen on the dubbing; so much so that when I realised there was a subtitle option I re-watched it and enjoyed it more.
