Skonflix Overview & Editorial Review
Trapped in a nightmare unraveling in real time, the residents of a mysterious, inescapable township in middle America find themselves unable to leave as every road inexplicably loops back into the town center. Led by self appointed sheriff Boyd Stevens, the fragile community struggles to maintain order, preserve resources, and survive the terrifying nocturnal threats that emerge from the surrounding forest: bloodthirsty, humanoid monsters that hunt the living after dark. Over three gripping seasons, the residents struggle to maintain sanity while uncovering cryptic clues, ancient talismans, and surreal dimensional secrets in a desperate attempt to find a way back home.
Created by John Griffin and executive produced by Jeff Pinkner and Jack Bender, From is an acclaimed American sci-fi horror series produced by MGM+ Studios, Midnight Radio, and AGBO. Filmed primarily on location in Nova Scotia, Canada, the production relies on atmospheric visual storytelling, claustrophobic set builds, and slow burn psychological tension to build its eerie setting. The series features a haunting musical score composed by Chris Tilton, complemented by the atmospheric main theme song "Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)" performed by the alt rock band Pixies.
Debuting on MGM+ in February 2022, From quickly earned a dedicated fanbase and strong critical acclaim for its compelling mystery box storytelling and chilling horror tropes. Anchored by a commanding lead performance from Harold Perrineau as Boyd Stevens alongside an ensemble cast including Catalina Sandino Moreno, Eion Bailey, David Alpay, and Elizabeth Saunders, the show consistently drew praise from horror enthusiasts and prominent genre creators, solidifying its place as a flagship original hit for the network.
