INTO THE DARK

Season 1 Episode 6
TREEHOUSE
(March 2019)

“Somethin' terrible happens to a woman and it just lives in you.

“In her. Starts on the inside, then it becomes her skin and she wears it till she dies, and that’s that.”

Jimmi Simpson stars in and executive produces the latest “episode” of Into the Dark, an entry co-written and directed by another familiar TV face, James Roday (of Psych).

Aside from saying this is timely, topical horror though, there isn’t much more that can be said without revealing too much, so I guess I should just leave it at this:

Treehouse is a notable example of a genre narrative that says Something, and if only for that, this gets the ¡Qué horror! seal of approval.

If you’ve enjoyed at least one of the past Into the Dark entries, or if you’re a fan of either Simpson or Roday, then you should check this one out.

“… Y’all are lucky. Wasn’t always this easy for women to lean on each other.

“There was a time when it wasn’t about choosing to be heard, because you had no voice. How can you use something you were never given?”
