From (2022) – You Can Check In, But You Can Never Leave

In a town with no way out, survival means facing the monsters—inside and out. 

From (2022) is a gripping horror-mystery series that blends survival thriller with supernatural terror, set in a small town where time stands still and escape is impossible. Created by John Griffin and produced by the Russo Brothers, the show introduces a chilling premise: once you enter this strange town, there's no way out. And when night falls, the real nightmare begins.

The story opens with a typical American family on a road trip who stumble into a seemingly abandoned town after a car accident. Soon, they realize they are trapped, just like dozens of other residents who once wandered in and never found their way back. As night descends, horrifying, flesh-eating creatures emerge from the forest, and only the talismans in each home offer protection—if the doors stay shut.

What sets From apart is its rich world-building and eerie atmosphere. The mystery of the town deepens with each episode, revealing cryptic clues, buried secrets, and complex characters trying to maintain order in the face of relentless horror. The sheriff, Boyd Stevens (played by Harold Perrineau), leads with both grit and vulnerability, trying to uncover the truth while battling his own demons.

Unlike typical monster-of-the-week shows, From focuses on emotional tension, survival dynamics, and existential dread. Themes of grief, guilt, and hopelessness are explored through the residents’ struggles to adapt to their new reality. Every choice feels consequential, every night a test of resolve.

From combines the paranoia of Lost with the terrifying stillness of The Mist, creating a show that is equal parts heart-pounding and hauntingly philosophical. As the residents grow closer to the truth, the question remains: is escape even possible—or are they part of something much darker than they ever imagined?
