Check out the first trailer for From, a horror series with a confusing title

If the creators run out of titles, like craft breweries with their beers? Or are they trying to get involved in the memes and jokes that followed series like Netflix? You? At least horror stories like Jordan Peele’s US, the Amazon series she, and the upcoming movie we – or, going back further, Spike Jonze’s film She – indicate the feeling that the title has a meaningful character. But what should you think of the horror series 2022? fromwhat looks like a title that is only meant to raise questions? Of what? About what? Of the? Poor Laura Ingraham is gonna be so confused.

The team behind it From, including Creator John Griffin (writer of the upcoming science fiction film) crater) and showrunner Jeff Pinkner (a producer of Lost, Edge area, and Alias) just released its first trailer, and it’s pretty scary. With its focus on a small abandoned town and an eerie phenomenon capturing a sprawling group of people there, it feels like a classic Stephen King short story. (And a bit like a version of King and Joe Hill’s In the tall grass, centered on a pit stop city instead of a field.)

Harold Perrineau (Lost, Oz, Romeo + Juliet) directs the ensemble, next to it The stand‘s Eion Bailey and Mary full of graceCatalina Sandino Moreno is the latest couple to get caught up in the mystery and discover the dangerous creatures that could be behind it. The series debuts on Epix on February 20, 2022. Prepare for a series of confusing review headlines in February as outlets try to bypass phrases like “From navigates the same territory as Lost” without looking like they have a few words along the left out path.
