Tales From the Darkside Reviews III

Tales of the Darkside, Season 4- Episode ???

"The Cutty Black Sow"



Sigh...despite its foreboding name, this episode didn't meet my expectations. Not all the way, at least. There's barely anything plot-wise to discuss. A little boy's great grandma warns him of a beast called the Cutty Black Sow, and passes away. The little boy, apparently way into ritual shit, does the protection ritual to make sure the Cutty Black Sow doesnt come for him but ding dong guess what it does. Bleugh.

Good- The only redeemable part of this episode: the Cutty Black Sow itself is terrifying. Large, intimidating, with bright yellow eyes and piglike features, it's a pretty unsettling sight.

Bad-Everything else. The paper thin plot, bad acting, horrible pacing....it's all bubcus, and certainly the weakest of the three I watched tonight. I was bored until the Cutty Black Sow actually showed up, and that's literally in the last 20 seconds of the entire episode.

Rubbish episode.

Grade: 2.5/10
