If we fans of genre cinema love something, it is the recommendations that our close friends give us about new horror movies and series that manage to make our hearts pound and make our blood run cold. Word of mouth works on many occasions, explaining precisely why the suggestions of horror masters like Stephen King have become a true phenomenon on social networks and a source for those productions that end up among their mentions.
A few years ago a friend recommended me Fromwhich just a few weeks before had arrived in the United States and had not yet landed in Spain at that time. With its first episodes in a suffocating city full of mysteries that trapped anyone who ended up within its limitsthis fiction conquered me and since then it has starred in many of my nightmares.
And it is that Few horror series have been as creepy in the last decade as the one created by John Griffinleaving me a sensation similar to the one I felt at the time with The Haunting of Hill House (Mike Flanagan, 2018) and reminding me of the spirit of classics like The twilight dimension. Recently, the third season of From It was released on Max, and thus the sleepless nights returned to my life.
A series that mixes the best of ‘Lost’ and the works of Stephen King
Of the producers of Lost (who recently turned 20) and sharing with her the actor Harold Perrineau, From maintains the same halo of mystery around an enigmatic place. On this occasion, Griffin goes a step further by placing creatures that attack during the night a series of survivors who are only struggling to last one more day. A puzzle that the third season delved deeper into to begin to give us an explanation about this intricate universe.
Taking all this into account, It is not surprising that Stephen King himself was captivated by Fromwhich inexorably has influences from the Maine author’s own work. The scenarios located in a nondescript American rural location and the paranormal phenomena that occur there They are thus intertwined in a dark series, with powerful scenes that left us with some spectacular deaths these years.
Beyond its claustrophobic setting and script twists, this MGM production also shined with the appearance of some of the most interesting stars of the current television panorama, among which we find some such as Catalina Sandino Moreno (Silent night), Eion Bailey (blood brothers), Elizabeth Saunders (Item) either Hannah Cheramy (Colossal), among a choral cast. A more than successful casting that became another of the strengths of this production.
In addition, The third season continued to masterfully show the mythology of Fromdelving deeper into the development of these characters and even avoiding the few criticisms about the more convoluted or meaningless stories of the series. And those of us who love this fiction forgive even the most delirious moments and end up embracing them.
Whether you’re new to that series and want to start it, or you’ve been following it for years and are looking to review it, From has impacted the lives of millions of viewers around the world and promises to continue giving something to talk about with a plot more than addictive. At the moment, it has not yet renewed for a fourth season, but it is expected to do so in the coming weeks.
