The Fall Review | Guillermo del Toro's Vampire Trilogy Gets Even Better?
Description
The vampire apocalypse is spreading... and somehow The Fall is even better than The Strain.
In this spoiler-lite review, I dive into Book 2 of The Strain Trilogy by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan, exploring why this sequel raises the stakes in every possible way. From ancient vampire conspiracies and unforgettable character arcs to relentless pacing and cinematic storytelling, this was everything I hoped for—and more.
If you enjoyed The Strain, are curious about the trilogy, or are looking for one of the best modern horror series featuring vampires, this review is for you.
