I'm an avid fan of anthology horror, but I found myself becoming bored very early into this anthology. So, unwilling to just call it quits, I skimmed ahead to the different stories to see if they improved at all over time. Ultimately, the stories were so bland that I decided to abandon the anthology altogether.
I don't think I can even pinpoint exactly where Things Eternal goes wrong for me, because it isn't bad in its own right, but I think it has something to do with the fact that all of the vignettes portrayed have not only already been done, but have been done better by more mainstream TV shows and movies. That is to say that Things Eternal suffers from a lack of originality, and so I struggled to maintain interest.
But, far be it from me to tell you not to try it yourself. The production value is high enough, and the stories are compelling enough for the right crowd to really enjoy this anthology.
