I tend to hesitate when going into a tv show or movie that is described as “from the master of horror…” or “the scariest movie you’ll ever see”. I tend to roll my eyes. But I’m finding the Masters of Horror series pretty good. Granted, some episodes are good and some are bad. I think Incident On and Off a Mountain Road is a good start to this series.
We get four kills overall. Unfortunately the deaths are not graphic or for the most part not shown. But having said that we do get to see some blood, especially when Moonface and Ellen use the drill press and we see the blood dripping from the drill. It’s not gory but we do see a lot of bodies in various forms of decay. (Mostly old and dusty.)
I think the actors did a decent job with their acting. We have Ellen played by Bree Turner (known for Grimm and mostly non Horror stuff). She’s our lead who is driving alone at night with a secret of her own. Bruce, played by Ethan Embry (known for The Prophecy II, Disturbing Behavior, FreakyLinks, Fear Itself, Devil’s Candy, and lots more) plays Ellen’s survivalist husband.
Overall, I think Don Coscarelli did a great job with this episode and if the rest of the episodes are as good then this series lives up to the hype. My main complaint with Incident On and Off a Mountain Road, is that we don’t get to see the kills really. I think if they showed more of that it would be better. I definitely recommend this series if you haven’t seen it yet. Check out my full review:https://foreverfinalgirl.com/incident-mountain-road/
