The Story Behind ‘From’

MGM+‘s “From” introduces visitors to a nightmarish small metropolis in middle America wherein the citizens are mysteriously trapped. No matter how much they try, they can’t appear to leave. Adding to the horror, each night brings terrifying creatures that lurk in the shadows, threatening the lives of all of us.

The experience of isolation and entrapment is palpable, making you sense the desperation of the townsfolk as they try to cope with their terrifying reality. The mystery surrounding the city is slowly unravelled, with each episode presenting tantalizing clues that depart viewers hungry for greater. The display skillfully balances moments of excessive horror with quieter, man or woman-driven scenes that explore the emotional toll of being trapped in this sort of nightmarish vicinity.
