Sometimes the simplest things are just the creepiest….
On this episode we are diving into a brand new show which is now streaming on Paramount+. It’s time to discover the terrifying realities of ‘From’.
The sci-fi horror series created by John Griffin centers on a town where everyone who ends up there is trapped and while trying to find a way out, they also must try to avoid creatures that come out at night from the surrounding forests.
It’s a simple premise but a HIGHLY effective one and the proof is in the pudding because we are getting a Season 2. We had the unique pleasure of sitting down with Star Harold Perrineau to talk about how he got the show, the similarities (and differences) between this and Lost along with much much more….
From is available now in Canada on the Paramount + streaming service.
