I finally got around to watching the first episode and enjoyed it very much. Hoping to get to the next one tomorrow night.

Didn't see the first one. Found the second one to be like Sixth Sense, some spooky imagery but a plot I saw coming a mile away.

I'm hopeful. After watching both episodes, I'll say I thought they were pretty decent...but could easily have been improved upon. Do they test-audience
any of this, I wonder? The ending last night was so tacked-on and anti-climatic, I actually was surprised when I heard the "Next on NBC..."
voiceover. Just kind of a waste.
As for Master of Horror, I thought "Incident On and Off A Mountain Road" was a real fun ride. I also liked "The Washingtonians", up until the last line of the episode...but was a little curious as to why from ALL the material that Bentley Little has written why they chose that story. He has so many other stories that would have made great episodes and worked in an hour format...and they use a story and aren't even loyal to it. Weird.

Of course I missed the end tonight.
 What happened?
Though this episode sure reminded me A LOT of FACE/OFF. Monica 
EXPERIMENTS IN HUMAN NATURE "O'Rourke writes with rare confidence and style. Though undoubtedly disturbing, and sometimes brutal, still her work has something quite rare and special -- heart." -- Tim Lebbon, author of Dusk. "What Monica O'Rourke brings to horror and dark (often erotic) fantasy is something the genre really, really needs--a voice that's not just unique but which is also incredibly and beautifully readable. Only a handful of writers, in and out of the genre, can realistically claim to be her peers. The delicious and lustfully served red meat of her stories could turn even the most determined vegetarian (like me) into a carnivore." -- T.M. Wright, author of Bone Soup |

SPOILER FOR MONICA --- DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT
(Scroll down) The man has a creepy dream about his daughter dressed as a bumblebee singing a song and wiping blood on her arms. He tricks the sheriff telling him he'll take them to the place where the bodies are hidden but once in the open he manages to escape and runs home where he finds the killer in the kitchen. They have a huge fight but the man manages to subdue the killer, only to be gunned down by the sheriff. Later, the man wakes up and realizes he's back in his body and the killer is dead. He asks about his family but the cops exchange nervous glances. He runs inside to find his wife and son murdered. One of the cops calls out that there's a survivor and he finds the sheriff holding the little girl. When the sheriff asks her to tell who did it, she points at her father. I liked this one. Though not very original it was suspenseful and kept my interest until the end.

Thanks for that summary! Sounds like I missed a good ending. It was definitely a Face/Off ripoff but it had some originality and I really liked the
performances.
Thanks again.

Be sure to catch next week's episode which was written by Paul Kane, whose novella RED will be published by Skullvines Press later this year.

It wasn't a bad episode, but what I really hated was all those commercials, especially all the constantly repeated ones for dreary reality shows.
Doesn't NBC show anything but reality shows? Well, besides Fear Itself.

I've been DVR-ing these, and that's the only way, as the commercials are abundant. This third episode...well, they nailed it. My kind of horror tale.
No happy ending for the good guy. I loved it. The first episode with the Vampires was darn good, but the Eric Roberts one was disjointed and hard to follow.
I'm pretty thrilled about Fear Itself, and look forward to more, although this third episode, IMHO, will be hard to beat.

Last night's episode wasn't too bad. I kinda figured out what was going on from the previews last week but still a decent ride.

Did the ending make sense to anyone else? She acted like a victim the entire time, then the switch? Maybe I missed a minute or something.

SPOILER ALERT!
No, you're right. That ending didn't make sense. She kept acting like she was afraid of her intended, and then at the scene in the church, she was backing away from him and wielding a weapon. It didn't make sense for her to do that since she was actually the serial killer and not him. |
