The pilot episode of “Masters of Horror” pretty much brings to the table what I was expecting. Gore, good acting, and plot twists. and it’s just what I got, thank god. The story, compacted within a fifty minute window, is smart enough and well written enough that it doesn’t feel rushed. The plot for the pilot is simple enough to be squeezed in to a small segment, yet manages to give us enough character depth and subtext we would desire. Not to mention some brutally gruesome images of torture that make the viewing all worth it. Bree Turner (I think I’m in love) gives a good performance as Ellen, a young woman who crashes in to a deserted car in the middle of a road.
