Effective opening, then takes a quieter approach. Short and tight. Full of tropes which makes it amusing. Some hate it but is not a bad mild sci-fi horror-thriller.

Not bad ideas but clumsy plotting.

Plot-driven, focused on human and material aspects with the supernatural taking a backseat. Entertaining and, intended or not, even comical.

Mecha design and action generally look great. Decent pacing. That’s about it. Cardboard characters made worse with Netflix being woke.

Decent and entertaining mild sci-fi horror. Despite whatever weaknesses, it is measured and consistent in most respects.

A few conveniences but decent pacing. Nicely lit and shot. Good performances. Not great but still a good effort and entertaining.

Tries too hard with the action and gore, but an acceptable conclusion. Overall, meh.

Mystery with elements of a horror-thriller framed in a fairy tale–like story. Nothing bad. Just flat. Plotting and themes are a bit clumsy.

Solid writing, performances and production. Tight plotting. Surprisingly good, even if one doesn’t like the genre.

Not a bad effort but nothing special. Could have used other fairy tales since there are over 200 to choose from.

Opening tries too hard. Unnecessarily feminist when a good actress is playing the lead role. Silly but surprisingly entertaining.

The October Country  is a collection of 19 short stories by Ray Bradbury (b. 22 August 1920 – d. 5 June 2012). A larger collection that...

An amusing and entertaining read, but the satire and black comedy can be taken further.

Moderately intriguing but unfocused. Offbeat but lacks comedy. Not bad but can be better executed.

Tries too hard with the action and gore. Lacks atmosphere and focus given the multiple plotlines and is presumably a setup for Season 3.

Decent adaptation. Good pacing and production. Enjoyable but lacks the absurdity of the anime. (Even the anime can be more absurd.)

Supernatural-cosmic horror. Sufficiently intriguing. Decent plotting and pacing. Generally a satisfying read.

Typical contemporary horror fiction in many respects but with well-written twisted dark/black comedy.

Despite being a time-loop story with a little clumsy structuring and cheesy montages, it is still a moderately enjoyable horror film.

Set 15 years after Revival, a team of synths attempts to retrieve an Alien sample. Lacks the more refined execution of the previous volumes.

Horror parodies of Ito’s experience with his wife and two cats. Drawn in his usual style. Moderately amusing, not to be taken too seriously.
