Masters of Horror is a skin-crawling anthology series with a higher quotient of hits than misses, although some viewers may feel that these splatter-filled installments are not as ambitious as the series' title promises.

It's difficult to choose only one episode of this underrated Showtime anthology series... When all else fails, though, it's worth trusting the true master of horror, John Carpenter. Go to Full Review Daniel Fienberg Zap2it.com 12/08/2018
Featured at least as many misses as hits, films that delivered slap-dash gore rather than anything truly disturbing. Go to Full Review Nick Schager Slant Magazine 12/08/2018
2.5/4
Talented filmmakers working on material from genre aficionados, yielding uneven results... If the final product wasn't always the galvanizing return to form we'd hoped for, at least it keeps these directors in the game. Go to Full Review Michael Drucker IGN Movies 12/08/2018

Ricardo D @RT43154676 1d Eu esperava muito mais desta série que nem sabia que existia. Esta temporada começou com episódios bem mediocres, mas que foram melhorar a qualidade técnica, de roteiro e até atuação nos últimos 5 episódios. É bom ver atores renomados participando. Vale a pena ver para conhecer. Mas não é nada que ficará guardado por muito tempo na memória. See more Steven F. @SteveGotScored Mar 23 Such an amazing horror TV Series! See more Craig B @Boundsy Nov 28 A pretty decent series all up. Of course, some stories are better than others, but it's worth a watch for horror buffs. See more Richard W @RT65767935 10/30/2024 The very first episode incident on mtn road is awesome,episode 4 jennifer is really good ,i havent finished all of it ,season one and season 2 ,but so far this is a really good series if you are a horror buff See more Damian M @RT52801145 10/08/2024 Some of the greatest minds in horror cinema, directing hour long short films tobe put together in one show.?! Just watched Episode 13 (Imprint-Takashi Miike), originally banned from airing on t.v do to its dark and twisted story , Miike refused to change his script and holy. This anthology really shows the talents of each director and there passion for the craft, and I cannot wait to watch another episode See more Andrew Joe D @RT09615471 02/17/2023 Awesome! Some of the best names in horror do amazing jobs directing 1 hour films adapted from short stories. The best is the first: "Incident On and Off a Mountain Road." As good as horror gets!
