Not as bad as some of the other Masters of Horror flicks, but I think this one is universally panned because it isn't scary. We're talking Stephen King-level mediocrity here. Maybe in India, a movie without a dance scene at the end is categorized under horror.

Laughable. All 35 points are for breasts.

The idea has been done before, and better. While not boring, it is bland and stale, and definitely not horror, not in any way. I have to say this is a very poor effort from Mick Garris, who consequently has a poor repertoire of past work, and could in no way be described as a "Master of Horror"

The idea is not that terrible but is very poorly executed, it's awfully slow, almost no excitement, and considering this "horror" is stretching the term far too much (it's just a thriller with some fantastic elements). Acting and dialogues don't help. One of the worst in the series.

I agree that this isn't a horror film but it's not really that bad, more like mediocre. Also the ending seemed really tacked on and nearly ruined the rest of the story.

One of the more interesting stories in the series but not very horror-inducing... (Masters of Horror S01E05)

This is one of the rare "horror movies" that probably would have been better without the horror (however little of it there is). I would be keen to see a fantasy/love story (or, perhaps, not-love story) about a scientist who suddenly found himself dealing with something totally nonrational like this. This one particular little story, unfortunately, just doesn't satisfy -- not least because I can't look at Henry Thomas and not see Elliott from _E.T._

Controversially, this has turned out to be one of the better episodes over ones like Homecoming which have been disappointing on revisit. Still flawed - not quite horror, but more an issue found in its whole plot - but its a strange, creepy romance tale with some subversive and twisted scenes subverting gender and sexuality, the sort of surprises in terms of catching the viewer off-guard I wished other episodes had as well.

I don't know if Mick Garris just sucks at directing and unfolding a story or what, but this was a very boring episode with no scares other than a miserable jump scare. Oh no! Not the asian man with a lighter!!

I seem to remember this one being the worst one (I've seen) from MoH. Rather pointless episode - though I honestly can't really remember it.

A pretty crappy episode of Masters of Horror. Not really surprising given that Mick Garris' previous attempts at directing a horror film were laughable.
