Guillermo del Toro introduces a series of one off takes of horror.
Each episode offers something a little different, they are all beautifully presented, well made and superbly acted, there are some great special effects, with some impressive visuals.
It's hard to score this as an overall series, as the quality varies so much, I found the order of episodes a little curious, I'm not sure I'd have gone with the first two at the start.
If you're looking for an out and out horror series, you may be a little disappointed, some episodes have it, some are just strange, with implied horror, but no real scares.
The standout episode is Autopsy, it has everything, true horror, a strong atmosphere, and was everything I hoped this series was going to be. I also really rated The Murmuring.
The Witch's house was the biggest disappointment, it was the one I looked forward to most of all, for me it just didn't work.
It's watchable, and some of them I'd watch again, some I wouldn't. 7/10.
