FROM is a horror-mystery sci-fi series that premiered in February 2022, created by John Griffin and produced by the Russo Brothers. You never know what to expect, which makes you keep coming back and wanting to know more. Sometimes you might think you know the storyline, but oh no, it throws you a curveball. The cast is amazing!!
This series is a black hole – once you’re in, you won’t want to come out! The gripping storyline, intense action sequences, and exceptional performances
Why should you watch this?
It follows the story of a mysterious small town that traps all who enter, with terrifying, deadly creatures lurking outside when night falls. The show combines elements of Lost (not surprising, as Jack Bender and Jeff Pinkner, both Lost alumni, are involved) with heavy horror and psychological survival themes.
Beyond amazing series! If you like thrillers, suspense, and horror, this is for you. Usually, nothing scares me to the point I jump, but a few scenes got me. This show has a great storyline.
The Story
The story kicks off when the Matthews family’s RV crashes near a strange town after seeing a fallen tree blocking the road. When they try to turn around, they mysteriously find themselves stuck in an endless loop. At night, humanoid monsters (who look eerily human) come out, pretending to be friendly before brutally killing anyone caught outside. Survival depends not just on facing the creatures but also on managing the crumbling social dynamics inside the town.
