50 States of Fright has a long road ahead of it, but with one effectively scary stop under its belt this horror anthology may just have what it takes to go the distance.

2.5/5
There's a lot to like about Raimi's episodes, but he also feels shackled by the format. It's an okay start to the series. Go to Full Review Perri Nemiroff Collider 05/13/2020
2.5/5
The quality of each story is bound to vary, but as my most anticipated piece of programming on the Quibi line-up, it's hard not to wish that the story offered up for review was a little more creative and engaging than this. Go to Full Review Paul Lê Bloody Disgusting 07/20/2023
3/5
Enthusiasts of both short-form and “get in, get out” horror will eat these four stories up. Go to Full Review Rob Hunter Film School Rejects 05/13/2020
It feels almost like a Creepshow segment minus the visual eccentricities that come with EC Comics tales, and if that's the tone going forward it should make for an entertaining destination for horror fans. Go to Full Review Shannon McGrew Nightmarish Conjurings 05/13/2020
I'm really excited to see what else 50 States of Fright has to offer. I think Raimi and the rest of the cast and crew set the bar high with this first episode. Go to Full Review Chris Evangelista Slashfilm 05/13/2020
The episode made available was not scary in the slightest, but it was wildly entertaining and darkly comedic. It also gives Raimi an excuse to break out the gore - lots and lots of it. The wonky tone might throw some, but this worked for me. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

01/05/2022 This deserve a watching only for the the short film of the cult in Oregon. 5/10 See more 11/08/2020 Brief but not fleet. This kind of series may be fascinating to a part of viewers, while it could be a boring combination of horror stories to others.

Haven't been this intrigued or this interested in a show in a while. There's not many shows like this, and I just want more. Quickly became one of my favorites. I'm dying to see more episodes from this series. Definitely recommend giving it a watch! 🙌🙌🙌 See more jack z @oceanic815 05/17/2020 50 States of Fright is very well directed - it looks just as great in portrait mode as it does in landscape, and has fantastic visual effects and imagery. A few of the stories are cheesy and poorly written, but the rest is, for the most part, pretty compelling (especially the riveting and terrifying Minnesota episode). If you're looking for horror, 50SOS is a decent way to spend your night; but this show is an even greater recommendation for fans of pulp and urban legends.
