'Into the Dark': Will Christmas nightmare 'Pooka' live up to standards set by previous episodes?

The creep quotient of 'Pooka' starring Nyasha Hatendi, is unlike anything else by the creators, especially if one tallies it with other episodes of 'Into the Dark' 

The moment the trailer for the third episode of Hulu's anthology horror series, 'Into the Dark', dropped, there was a lot of buzz surrounding it - especially regarding whether it would be able to live up to the standards already established by the preceding two episodes.

The third installment of the one-episode-a-month series, titled 'Pooka', looks like everything above and beyond the hype. Granted it doesn't come as a shock considering it's from Blumhouse Productions aka the makers of 'The Purge' and 'Paranormal Activity', but the creep quotient of 'Pooka' seems unlike anything else by the creators, especially if one tallies it with other episodes of 'Into the Dark.'
