One of the best, by far, out of both seasons of the "Masters of Horror" series. It gains points for low-key and on-point direction of the actors, a storyline that neither patronizes nor overestimates the average viewer of the series, and most of all- sheer originality. Brian Benben, for example, is vastly enjoyable in his role of a cop out to arrest a mythic, folkloric beast guilty of several murders. In addition to this, the storyline is easy to follow (once you agree with Benben's character- and he will persuade you to do so- that is time to suspend disbelief), and yet it will keep you hanging to the edge of your seat. And finally, it is wonderful to see a skilled director such as Landis (paired with his son for the writing of this story), insert a bit of humor and quirkiness into a series much too full of villains that have just been done to death (no pun intended): demons, succubi, evil clowns, zombies, aliens, etc.
