Masters of Horror Review

Originally broadcast ON America’s Showtime network, this series brings together big names (John Carpenter, Joe Dante, John Landis) and fresher faces to deliver a mixed bag of horror ranging from the kooky and spooky to the sick and twisted. This seven-episode opener drips with both gore and class — only Lucky McKee’s Sick Girl is a relative dud — and Carpenter’s frantically warped contribution is his best work in years.
