Chocolate Review Country : USA Year: 2005 Genre: Horror Format: Broadcast Running Time: 60 minutes Network: Showtime Mick Garris takes the helm for this entry in the popular Masters Of Horror anthology. And you'll never look at E.T. the same way, once you see what's in store for poor 'Elliot' (Henry Thomas). Credits Directed by Mick Garris. Starring Henry Thomas. Mick Garris’ entry in the Masters Of Horror series he created is simply called "Chocolate." Good title, bad short. In fact, this one is the worst entry in the series. Sadly, the creator of this excellent series could not deliver. I enjoyed Riding the Bullet and The Stand, so I was hoping for a little more in this entry. In "Chocolate," Jamie (Henry Thomas) experiences flashes of someone else’s life, and obsess him to the point where he has to find out where they are coming from. Recently divorced, Jamie begins receiving flashes of sex, abuse, and the taste of chocolate. Jamie witnesses a murder through her eyes and then he begins hunting for her to try and help? Now, this is where logic steps out... completely. Why would you go and try to help someone who you knew was a murderer? Garris falls flat on his face with this entry, and it seems he might have even tried outdoing the real masters of horror by adding tons of sex and a little blood. Well, it ain't and blood that makes it scary, Mick; it's suspense and what you can't see. Not what is right in front of your face. The direction was decent, but like I said before....I was really expecting a lot more. What was worse is the lack of resolution at the end. Not that I grew to care about the characters, but it just made it that much more pointless. Let's hope this entry is not setting a trend in the series....all the episodes have been great, and my hopes are set real high for Joe Dante's episode "Homecoming." You can catch "Chocolate" all weekend in multi-plays on Showtime.
