"I had a little Masters of Horror marathon with the Roku. It's a really amazing show. Genre directors do an hour long "episode," and it's on Showtime, so there's no holds barred scares, disturbing images and gore.It may seem weird to do reviews for episodes of a television series, but they felt like films. And I'm treating them as such. Except they're getting pretty short reviews.The first of my viewings was Fair Haired Child from director William Malone ("FeardotCom"). A girl is kidnapped and wakes trapped in a basement with a teenage boy. The two try to escape while discovering cryptic warnings carved into their prison. Tense and interesting with a good twist at the end.Sick Girl, from director Lucky McKee ("The Woods"), follows an entomologist as she finds true love and investigates a new species of insect. It's humorous and disgusting, much like McKee's films. I loved it.Cigarette Burns, from John Carpenter ("Ghosts of Mars"), is more about disturb "

"Released: January 13, 2006Director: Lucky McKee*****Ugh. There must be a disconnect between Lucky McKee, director of Sick Girl and the general definition of "horror." Blood does not necessarily imply horror; nor does a preposterous plot about a bug which impregnates people. Seriously, that's what this movie is about. Unfortunately, it takes far too long to get to this "surprise" moment and miscasts its lead so hideously, there may be no casting misstep which makes its film this laughable in the last ten years.Ida Teeter (the aforementioned miscast Angela Bettis) strikes out with the women while holding a repository of bug information in her head. Potential girlfriends find her fascination with the creatures...distasteful, shall we say. So when she asks out the secretive Misty (Erin Brown), Ida is advised by a male coworker not to let her in on the "bug thing." Eventually, a super bug of sorts gets loose, causing havoc.The problem with Bettis and her portrayal of Teeter is si ... "

"I'm really not sure what actually qualifies certain directors to be asked to contribute to this series, but I will definitly skip any more Lucky McKee directed films. This movie sucked super hard. If I wanted to watch a lesbo porno I would have rented one. I do not care for Angela Bettis (I was under the impression that her character in "May" was supposed to act like that because she was strange, not because that is the extent of Ms. Bettis' range as an actress) as an actress, so I should have known better than to expect much from this episode. What a loser of a film. A giant bug...sheeesh! "
