Bloodride

The rating of Bloodride is currently at 6.7 at the moment. Surprisingly really low, with average episodes rating 6. Bloodride is actually pretty cool. It's not an extra, big budgeted nor have high quality writing. But it's still amusing, i really enjoyed watching it. And there's always a "twist" ending that was unexpected (at least for me). The story is "different" and simple, It's not super gory or intense. It's worth checking out. Definitely underrated, on IMDb level, Bloodride should at least get a 7.8

This reminded me of Tales of the unexpected more so than Black Mirror but then again I am older than most on here.

I didn't hear anything about this show. I just saw it on netflix shows. Since I love horror movies, I thought I'd give it a try. I like how the episodes are only 30 mins. It gets right to the point and doesn't drag on. Some of the episodes were better then others, I really liked Sarafice , 3 sick brothers and the old school best! I also enjoyed the intro, it's so spooky!

Even with some well known horror tv and movie tropes and a couple of obvious story lines apparent 5 mins in it is very entertaining. My guess on the obvious plots may have to do with the money men not believing in the project, the unknowns involved or that they wanted well worn horror movie/tv (I hate this word) tropes with some lost in translation fears on top. I think the talent (actors, directors, writers) all understood that when it comes to horror the basics monsters mental illness/serial killers are great and easy to do in many ways, new and culturally diverse are appreciated for showing us new terrors mix in with are own. I'm not going to pretend to be an expert on Norwegian TV/movie Horror or even American horror but when I saw any of the truly odd 1950s Italian horror movies I was immediately drawn in to what the weirdness was and sometimes I didn't read the translation or just forgot they were there. While i understand wanting to making something appeal to as broad a group as possible that's not as important when it involves horror. I do have one major issue overall the music was distracting and did not add to the experience or as far as I'm concerned compliment the story in any way but it a small part of the picture. If you generally like horror anthology in all their forms you'll like this if you bare with a couple less original story lines before it gets going telling new ones

With Norwegian movies and shows it's really a hit or miss, especially the dialogue can seem too rehearsed. I really enjoyed this one, although many episodes are more thriller/psychological than horror but still right up in my alley. I really appreciate that they chose to cast colored, talented actresses like Sanna in ep 5 which is rare in Norwegian productions. I hope to see her in many more shows as she's truly a great actress!
