TWO SENTENCE HORROR STORIES – created by Vera Miao – SPOILERS
Each of the episodes is a short film roughly twenty minutes long, and is in the middle of a two sentence story. The first sentence, shown at the beginning, is the setup, and the last (the twist) is shown at the end. For instance, Episode One, titled GENTLEMEN, begins with “She was stiff and cold in my arms”, and it is completed at the end with “And then the doll blinked.” (That’s the first episode available on Netflix. Five others preceded that one, but they are apparently nowhere to be found.)
Some stories are social commentary. In HIDE (Episode 1.4, directed by Rania Attieh and Daniel Garcia) a violent and bloody home invasion is used to illustrate the plight of immigrants in America. IMPOSTER (Episode 2.4, directed by Jennifer Liao) stars Lou Ticszon as an Asian-American investment adviser who finds his ambition literally in conflict with his Asian heritage.
