The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Grimm, Season 1 (2012)

Starring: David Guintoli, Silas Weir Mitchell, Russel Hornsby

Synopsis:
A police detective discovers he is the next in a long family line of Grimm, an order of humans tasked to keep supernatural beings (like the ones from fairy tale) in check.

The first season deals with Nick discovering his abilities, befriending a werewolf who helps him solve cases, and deciding how to use his new power. Among this is a sect of supernaturals trying to kill him.

My Take:
I like the unique premise of the series. This season has laid a nice foundation for future seasons and an interesting and much larger mythology.

Favorite Episode:
"Woman In Black" - They saved the best episode for last. Nick finally comes clean to Juliette, who happens to be under a deadly spell. Hank's sanity nears the brink of breakage. And a mysterious woman shows up claiming to be Nick's mother.

Rating: In the middle (but in a really fun way)
