The lack of visual creativity is just one of many reasons why The Strain, despite being nauseating, isn't scary.
July 11, 2014
This is actually the calm before a terrifying storm in The Strain, which promises to reinvent our idea of vampires and make them scary again. Scary as opposed to sexy, as in "True Blood," and chillingly gruesome.

"The Strain" is garbage, and I kind of love it.
July 11, 2014
What may be most shocking about the FX show is how dull, uninteresting and hollow all the characters are.
July 11, 2014
The Strain doesn't seem to take itself too seriously, and audiences shouldn't, either.
July 11, 2014
If viewers fast-forward through the dull parts - and if they have strong stomachs - they'll have a good time.
July 11, 2014
The horror-disaster-supernatural mashup thriller... is creepily captivating but most assuredly not for the squeamish, or for nervous fliers.
July 11, 2014
[TV] needs another vampire drama like the Germans needed extra goals [against] Brazil, but [it] is packed with so much macabre imagery and clever ideas that it doesn't feel like the resuscitation of a tired genre, but the launch of something new and fun.
July 10, 2014
Satisfying -- but you might never eat spaghetti again.
July 10, 2014
Whether you prefer your fear to be delivered as an extended psychological tease, or sudden gruesome bolts of old-fashioned lethal violence, The Strain gets the job done.
