Disappointing to say the least..

I was really let down by this episode- I've been looking forward to seeing the "Masters of Horror" do their thing.. if this is what the "Masters" are offering up, I may have to give up on the genre altogether! So many plot points just went nowhere (like what was the point of him being a food taster? what was the point of his allergies? why did they waste the wonderful Matt Frewer?) I was totally sucked into the episode at first, mainly because Henry Thomas did such a great job.. I kept expecting it all to tie together, but all it did was .. well.. end! Very pathetic offering. Maybe its time they came out with an "Future Masters of Horror" and let some new people have a throw at scaring us (Like Eli Roth?) Rate it D (and it would have been an F if it didn't have some good acting saving it)
