Overview
A story from each state is distributed across two or three “Quibis” in the alleged anthology horror series 50 States of Fright.
Every narrative begins with the statement, “every state has its mythology, tall stories of legends — but occasionally there is a darker tale, a story that is really, as whispered.” Given the amount of yelling and the eagerness with which each episode’s narrator blurts forth their state’s history, I assume the final part is humorous.
The most intriguing aspect of this notion is its dedication to giving up-and-coming directors a platform for the three tales offered with Quibi’s trial version, the first recorded by Raimi. Yoko Okumura and John Spindell are competent and appear to be enjoying the material; it’s solely a pity that the content itself could be of better quality.
The Golden Arm- First Chapter In 50 States Of Fright
The Golden Arm (Michigan), the first story in 50 States of Fright, is so ludicrous that it is an extended piece created to fulfil the requirements of a contract.
The story revolves around a couple of high school sweethearts; the lady (Sophie Brosnahan, who spent her salary on something pleasant) is referred to as “expensive” and beautiful, while her partner (Travis Fimmel) is a logger who studies chair schematics when he feels his wife isn’t looking.
As he forces his wife to assist him in cutting down a tree, tragedy ensues. As a result, she enters the titular prosthesis after losing her arm. The narrator, who seems forced to drive what little subtext and complexity the narrative has to the surface, states, “It was like a drug”.
She refused to give up her golden arm when the doctor diagnosed her with “Pulmonary Gold Disease,” a genuine condition.
Oregon’s Scared Stiff- The Best Of The Group
In light of this, “Scared Stiff (Oregon)” is perhaps the greatest of the three since it strikes the ideal between absurdly idiotic and enjoyable. The story revolves around “Sebastian Klepper,” an absurdly named taxidermist who has won 10 awards.
One evening, a guy knocks on his door after running over an unknown creature. He decides to fill the beast after expressing his reluctance to the town’s rival taxidermist (perhaps the funniest moment in the series).
There follows a cute little taxidermy montage who recognises the creature as a newborn Bigfoot after comparing the finished item to the illustrations in his handy book of weird animals. Naturally, this implies that the Sasquatch’s parent is a murderous monster.
It’s adorable, expertly done, and doesn’t linger too long. Notably, “Scared Stiff” provides the series with a model to follow. Having viewed the first eight episodes, I can’t say 50 States of Fright is all that wonderful.
