Review: Widow's Bay is a boldly original take on comedic horror
摘要
《寡妇湾》是Apple TV推出的一部别具一格的喜剧恐怖剧集，被评论界誉为年度最佳新剧之一。该剧致敬经典恐怖元素的同时以出人意料的方式重新演绎，风格融合斯蒂芬·金、公园与游憩及双峰镇元素，但保持独特原创性。故事讲述鳏夫镇长汤姆希望将海滨小镇打造成夏季旅游胜地，然而纽约时报旅行作家的到访恰逢神秘雾气降临，当地居民警告这是超自然事件即将发生的预兆。
Widow's Bay, the delightfully eccentric new comedic horror series from Apple TV, is easily one of the best new series of the year. There's a reason everyone from Guillero del Toro and Ben Stiller to Damon Lindelolf (Lost) is raving about the show. It's an eminently binge-able, addictive series that pays tribute to all the classic horror tropes while reinventing them in surprising ways. Think Stephen King meets Parks and Recreation, with a dash of Twin Peaks—except Widow's Bay is very much its own refreshingly original beast.
(Some spoilers below but no major reveals.)
Tom Loftis (Matthew Rhys) is a widower and mayor of Widow's Bay, a quirky little seaside town that has a colorfully bizarre history marked by periodic tragedies. Tom is eager to elevate the town into a trendy summer tourist destination. But the arrival of New York Times travel writer Arthur Lloyd (Bashir Salahuddin), who has the clout to make Tom's aspirations for Widow's Bay come true, coincides with the onset of a mysterious fog. Local resident Wyck (Stephen Root) warns Tom that the fog is an omen that the island is "waking up," meaning more supernatural occurrences are bound to happen.
