“Horrifying’
A Netflix horror series has left people “scared for their lives” after it earned rave reviews.
Marianne is a French horror programme which ran back in 2019 and tells the story of horror writer Emma who returns to her hometown to discover that an evil spirit that haunted her dreams 15 years ago, is now causing trouble in the real world.
Although it was widely acclaimed internationally, the streaming platform made the decision to axe the show after one series, with the creator saying that not enough people watched it to justify a second season.
Creator Sam Bodin did admit that there were plans to go further than the eight episodes that were aired.
“At the time, I really wanted to do three seasons. The story in my head takes three seasons, three acts for me. Three big chapters,” he told Bloody Disgusting.
But even though it has been out for the best part of three years, TV enthusiasts are still discovering the show and have been left petrified.
“Just finished watching Marianne on Netflix and it’s the scariest thing I’ve ever watched in my whole fcking life,” wrote one fan.
Another said: “Just finished the first episode of #Netflix’s Marianne and I am scared for my life. Good start!”
A third tweeted: “Horror fans: I’m definitely late… but, I just watched Marianne on Netflix and it was GOOD! Some parts were a little dorky but the series provided some good scary moments. It’s worth checking out the first few eps to see if you like it.”
