Netflix
That’s not my review of the latest Netflix horror original series Marianne. That’s what someone who writes for the website that specializes in covering HORROR said about the series.
HorrorFuel.com writer Kelli Marchman McNeely wrote, “The show is balls to the walls crazy, intense, and creepy as sh*t! Just when you think you are about to shut off your TV and be productive, the show drags you kicking and screaming into another episode. You have to know what’s next.”
“I watch a lot of horror movies (like a lot, a lot) but I haven’t been this excited in a long time,” she added. “Between the fantastic, unique storyline, the amazing special effects, the talented cast, and the sheer creepiness of it, “Marianne” is, in my opinion, maybe the best thing in horror to happen to Netflix in years.”
Uhhhh… that sounds pretty good, no?
Not sold yet? Chris Longridge of DigitalSpy.com wrote about Marianne…
Netflix really made our Friday 13th this September by dropping all eight episodes of Marianne, a new French horror series. But will it scare les pantalons off us?
The short answer is that you’ll know from the first scene whether this is your brand of scary: Ring-like images of a hole in the ground, machinery, creaky industrial sounds and an old transistor radio. A caged crow makes Ark! Ark! noises. A gaunt woman approaches her mother, who’s haranguing someone in the kitchen of a dark, old-fashioned French house, only to discover the old woman is talking to herself and pulling her own tooth out with pliers.

Still not sold? Damn, you’re a tough nut. Okay then, how about these reactions to Marianne I found on Twitter?

It's #FridayThe13th, so there really is no better time to binge this brand new Netflix original, #Marianne. French #horror is some of the most disturbing out there and The Witch vibes this show gives off are pretty unsettling in just the trailer alone. Don't skip it. @NetflixUK pic.twitter.com/05edScdWDW
