Created by John Griffin

“From” is a supernatural horror television series with a gripping premise: A mysterious town traps its visitors, forcing them to face deadly nocturnal creatures, while trying to unravel the town’s secrets.

Created by John Griffin, the show masterfully blends horror, survival, and mystery, drawing viewers into a dark, unsettling world where nothing is as it seems.

While compelling, the series has its flaws and leaves much to discuss.

One of its biggest strengths is the chilling, oppressive atmosphere. The town itself feels like a character, with its eerie stillness, cryptic surroundings, and strict rules.

This haunting setting perfectly complements the unfolding horror, immersing viewers in the characters’ isolation and despair.

The nocturnal creatures are a standout element — terrifying in a subtle, psychological way, blending charm with bloodthirsty menace.

A superb cast delivers strong performances, with Harold Perrineau standing out as Boyd, the town’s reluctant leader who brings gravitas and emotional depth, grounding the show during its chaotic moments.

Eion Bailey and Catalina Sandino Moreno also excel as Jim and Tabitha Matthews, a couple struggling with their fractured relationship amid the town’s horrors.

The show’s early episodes are expertly paced, gradually revealing the town’s rules and the nocturnal dangers.

The mystery of why people are trapped and how the town functions keeps you hooked, with just enough clues to maintain engagement without being overwhelming.

However, the series can sometimes feel overly cryptic, risking frustration for viewers seeking clear answers instead of endless hints.

By the end of season one, and even into the second, some may feel the show teases revelations without fully delivering.

Season one is streaming on Netflix, while seasons two and three are available on OSN+.

DUBAI: Dubai-based Hollywood star Lindsay Lohan took to Instagram to thank fans after her latest festive film “Our Little Secret” became Netflix’s No. 1 streamed movie this week.

“Thank you for everyone who tuned in,” she wrote on Instagram Stories.

The actress — who is married to Kuwaiti financier Bader Shammas — also showed her appreciation for the MENA region when she appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” recently in an outfit from Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad’s Resort 2025 ready-to-wear collection, which included a black, long-sleeved top with structured shoulders and silver jeweled detailing down one side. The ensemble was completed with a matching black skirt, paired with black heels.

Lohan also attended the premiere of the romantic comedy in a Murad outfit, choosing a black gown from the label’s spring/summer 2025 ready-to-wear collection. The sleeveless dress featured a plunging neckline with two statement crystal-embellished motifs at the midriff.

The flowing skirt incorporated sheer panels, and she topped off the look with open-toe black heels and subtle jewelry, and her hair in soft waves.

“Our Little Secret” tells the story of Avery (Lohan) who is planning to spend Christmas with her boyfriend’s family. Things take an unexpected turn when she discovers that ex-boyfriend Logan (played by Ian Harding) is also joining the festivities, as it transpires their current partners are siblings. Avery and Logan must navigate the holiday while ensuring their former relationship remains a secret.

Lohan will next be returning to her Disney roots by reuniting with Jamie Lee Curtis for next year’s “Freaky Friday” sequel, titled “Freakier Friday.”

The film was shot over the summer and had Lohan feeling like a child again, she told ABC’s “Nightline.”

“I think really for me was when I went onto the Disney lot,” Lohan said. “And being back on the Disney lot because that’s not just ‘Freaky Friday’ for me. That’s ‘The Parent Trap,’ that’s ‘Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen,’ that’s ‘Herbie.’ It’s so many moments for me. So when I got there, I kind of felt like this essence of a little kid again.”

“I’m so grateful for every moment of it, every second,” she said of being back on the lot. “I’m going to, like, get emotional. It’s a great experience.”
