I liked the fact that none of these horrors were just plain-old jumpscares and cliche story plots. It was quite refreshing to see these "two-sentence horror stories" be turned into more extended versions and express societal themes/problems in each episode. (SPOILER--The first episode about being a single mom, the second episode is about r@pe, the fourth episode about immigration, etc.) In my humble opinion, the acting was just gorgeous and the cinematography perfectly adjusted to the tension of the story plot. This series was the perfect example of "actions speak louder than words". I felt genuinely connected with the characters even when the storyline barely told me a thing about them. However, I was quite uncomfortable with the fact that there was a repetitive, passive-aggressive undertone with this series. From all these episodes, you can clearly see a pattern of stereotypes and scapegoats. The "antagonist" or the "bad guys" of these stories are always white (and sometimes very privileged) males. The victims who we were supposed to feel "pity" for were always actors of the "minority" population. I felt slightly baffled as it became evident that these horror stories were clearly representing the author's dissent of WASPS and this whole "white supremacy" idea. I do appreciate the producer for including societal problems as themes in these episodes, but it just got off-topic and inappropriate as characters and their fate just became more predictable. "White guys" would always become the immoral, putrid, antagonists who would be punished for the behavior, and the "minority population" would always be the victim and the ultimate survivor. You could just discern the characters' race and already see who's going to be the hero and the villain by the end of the story. I don't want politics involved in this rating, but in my defense, the racism in this storyline made me feel uncomfortable and for the storyline to be too predictable. (And for the extremists out there, yes. Racism can be directed towards anyone who isn't "colored".)

I love how it was presented. The producer did an excellent job of portraying the mood and it was very interesting and new. However, the plot was a bit unclear and the songs just started to break out at random points. The storyline, the exposition, conflict, solution, etc. all that was a bit unclear.

I think the actors and the singing was outstanding, but the plot was too weak. It seemed to just rush towards some spots, and it was a bit boring because of how there were unnecessary struggles between characters in certain scenes, but everything went so easy on places that needed the most struggles. It could have been a great movie, but the rush in some part of the plot and the scenes just ruined everything. I just watched this with no thoughts on it except for how beautiful Beyonce was.

I loved it. The psychologically intense moments were caused by genuine anticipation and not horror from gore like in other horror movies. I loved how it was about cooperation between strangers when the world was coming to its end. Great movie.

It's very mysterious, enticing, and deep. I loved it.
