Salem: The Complete First Season Review

Largely eschewing digital FX when it doesn’t absolutely need them, SALEM evokes the provocative, immersive experience of Hammer Horror with providing the exploitative flamboyant edge of modern macabre. Add in a largely ingenious concept- a series following the Salem Witch Trials spurred on and manipulated by the actual witches- and SALEM offers something much more visceral and clever than those who mistake it for a CW-esque fringe frightener.
