Been watching these "Fear Itself" episodes on FEARnet....and actually enjoying them a bit more than Masters of Horror, actually.
It seems all the MoH are just about "Where can I put tits in here" and strange script choices that make me wonder what the hell the directors were thinking. I think Fear Itself comes off as a little more cohesive. I don't know if its just the scripts or if the casts are better or what.
So far I've watched the "Skin and Bones" one about the Wendigo...I was surprised that it actually had a couple chilling moments in it. Some bad acting here and there, but overall very entertaining.
Then I watched the "New Year's Day" about the zombie apocalypse. This one was rather irritating because Darren Lynn Bousman went a LITTLE bit TOO "Saw" with the directing. Lots of jittery shakey cam crap that was really distracting. The ending of the episode was kind of cool though.
Finally, I watched "Family Man" by Ronny Yu (and I actually enjoyed Bride of Chucky and FvJ...fun flicks). Probably the best one out of the 3, so far. The story was very "Tales from the Crypt-ish" and I liked that. Pretty bleak ending too, but not in that Wolf Creek kind of way that makes you sad....more in that "Ouch, that's pretty fucked up" kind of way.
Overall.....not bad! I'll definitely watch the rest.
