Sam Raimi made his name in the 80/90s as a new kid on the block with exciting horror projects, before conquering the blockbuster genre in the 21st Century, but now he is back, on streaming service Quibi, with a horror anthology series.
I like the general idea of the series, but the show never clicked for me at all. The tone was very confused, never quite deciding whether it is a schlocky and fun loving horror riff, or if it is a really serious horror show.
It is packed full of name actors, mainly because it would’ve been a small time commitment for them, and the ‘Golden Arm’ episode that Raimi directs Rachel Brosnahan and Travis Fimmel in, is both the most memorable and worst episode of the show.
This is apparently returning for more episodes but isn’t strong enough to get me to keep Quibi beyond the free trial period.
Rating = 2.5/5
