When her twin sister is paralysed from a stroke, a Nigerian American nurse must protect her from a dark force that feeds on the most vulnerable and unprotected. And an indigenous man faces dark history when he and his girlfriend visit an Old West re-enactment for their podcast.

What a great season of Two Sentence Horror Stories this has been. Stronger in execution and grander in scale than the first year, the CW has a show here that wears its diversity on its sleeve, opening up a wide range of possibilities from a rich range of ethnic folklore.

In Ibeji, a toothsome demon is feeding on the dying, but this is as much a damning indictment of the way that a young black American is passed over for treatment in a biased triage system. And in Manifest Destiny, an Old West re-enactment turns sour when someone shows disrespect and cultural misappropriation towards native Americans. Bloodshed sets in motion the ghosts of the past and the locals go all Westworld. It’s a fun premise and the 20-minute run time is long enough to make the point and not outstay the welcome.

Verdict: Two very different horror shorts to conclude the sophomore year – this show should run and run. 8/10
