Nice effects though.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Steve Coogan is a master of character acting, and I would not disagree with any comparisons made between him and the late Peter Sellers. As a writer, he has a cultured background from which to create comedy, and he does so with style in this movie spoof anthology. If you are like me and grew up watching the classic British horror of Hammer Studios, the European spy stories of Sax Rohmer, and the psychological terror tales of the 1970s from the likes of David Cronenberg, then you will be delighted to see all of those film genres and more showcased here. Coogan's tales gives a stunning visual appreciation to their strengths while he pokes fun at their flaws, and he makes multiple references to the old films and their creators that can be a challenge for movie buffs to catch in one viewing, weaving both highbrow humor and lowbrow innuendo together to create something that stands on even footing with Monty Python and Mel Brooks with its high degree of wit. Vampires, voodoo, megalomaniac super-villains, science gone wrong, nightmares, and devil worship all play a part in this series, and the only thing that keeps me from giving it a perfect ten is that it never lost its pace but only lasted six episodes. Even though ten years have passed since its inception, I would look forward with great anticipation to a second series that gives a good-natured ribbing to these great films.

Great too see something out of the ordinary by steve coogan, and pretty unknown but good cast.The 6 stories ( i think ) are of equal quality, they are original , more funny than scary , but that makes it the much more enjoyable.The only thing missing is your fair of nudity that would get you arroused if not stiff enough to see all six episodes in an entire afternoon.Overall good performances by all the actors, and steve coogan. He does possess that dark aura that not all comedians have . In conclusion; you could be pleasantly surprised by this horror/sci-fi comedy series. Have a nice stiff one.

Although the first couple of episodes were nothing special the rest of the series was quite funny. Alright, not laugh 'til your sick, but it had it's moments. People don't seem to be happy unless Steve Coogan's playing Alan Partridge or Paul Calf, but this was an attempt to do something different. The series could've been better, but it wasn't that bad! Give the poor guy a break!

Saying that Dr. Terrible's....etc. is silly and pointless is a bit like saying that Royston Vasey is an odd place, of course it is, it's meant to be. I think that you have to take it at face value and not read too much into it. I always figure that if I laugh at least once in a half hour, it's all good. anything else is gravy, and I laughed way more than once. Cap't Slater was great. Just remember it's TV, it's FREE.
