In a similar fashion of "Masters of Horror", NBC brings us a series of 1-hour Horror movies for network television, Fear Itself. The 13-episode suspense and horror anthology is supposed to push the boundaries of the horror genre. Each episode is directed by award-winning, sought-after directors John Landis ("An American Werewolf in London"), Darren Bousman ("Saw II, III and IV") and Ronny Yu ("Freddy vs. Jason").
The series was created
by Mick Garris, who also executive produced the highly popular horror series Masters of Horror.
Be warned, I fear this series may not live up to the genre's violent expectations, no thanks to network television censor guidelines. I mean when was the last time you saw a horror film (or series, for that matter) that was rated suitable for all ages? NBC is making an interesting attempt to draw horror fans, lets hope they don't fail, the series could have potential.
