It's a decent watch, but I had much higher hopes going into this because its been so long since we've had any good Clive Barker adaptations and it looked promising, but unfortunately I just wasn't all that impressed by it. Each story is well directed and well acted though with some creepy moments sprinkled throughout and some good bits of gore, but I can't say I was that invested in any of the characters and it just felt too drawn out at times with the slow pacing.The payoff from each of the stories weren't all that satisfying either and I think this would have been much better as a series, because at least they could have dedicated more time to developing their characters which all felt super underdeveloped to me.

Its a good watch and some scares are well above the generic tropes but the three stories while done nicely fail to impress as horror arcs. The three stories are nicely tied together in the end which gave a decent payoff in the end. I would have loved if they did more with character development and made them more memorable.
