Haunted

I can't tell if this is supposed to be horror or comedy, but either way it's so hilariously bad that I can't help but love it. This show takes itself so seriously and yet it's completely unaware of how absolutely ridiculous it is. These "true" paranormal events are about as Hollywood as it gets, and they're all reinacted by quite possibly some of the worst actors I've seen in a LONG time in a Netflix original. If you're looking for something genuinely creepy to get you into the Halloween spirit, don't watch this show. There is plenty of legitimately good horror content on Netflix that can do the job far better than this. HOWEVER, if you want to watch something with literally zero self-awareness that you can point and laugh at after having a few drinks with your friends, please do watch this, it's amazingly entertaining in that context. My sides were hurting halfway into the first episode I was laughing so hard, this is on almost the same level as The Room in terms of great bad entertainment.

Beggining with episode 1 i was intrigued, but my questions kept piling up.. then when it came to episode 2 i stopped watching. Netflix needs to understand they have to give more information to these accounts. it's one person telling their story, poorly. there are no names, facts or evidence period. I'm really aggravated with Netflix's sloppiness on this show because it had potential to be very interesting. After watching the second episode, you will have one million questions & zero answers leaving you completely unsatisfied.. Would absolutely not recommend to anyone.

First of all, You can't look at this from a "where are the facts" kind of way. It doesn't claim to be an investigative series. It's like telling ghost stores around a campfire. It says based on a true story bc the people telling it believe it to be true. Nothing about this show is actually factually based and I believe that to be the point. It's cool cinematography and is a bit scary/troubling. The slaughterhouse episode is outlandish, but it's meant to be taken at face value. Its not a damn documentary, like these people making the other comments are expecting it to be.

I don't know if the people telling these stories are actors or if they're real and they believe what they're saying. Either way, this show is freaking depressing. I've watched two episodes, and both hinge on small children who have suffered neglect and abuse witnessing violent murders. I have a feeling all of the episodes are going to be this way. If these people are real, then what they need is professional help, not a tv show exploiting their trauma and encouraging the delusions they created to cope with it. If they're just actors, then presenting the storytellers as real and their miserable stories as true is in seriously poor taste. This show is not scary, just sad. I love horror, and I love the types of stories that make me suspend--or even question--my disbelief in the supernatural. This show didn't make me suspend disbelief; it just made me want to get the storytellers to a therapist.

Not sure why so many bad reviews. I compare it to a camp site stories. The re-enactments , video production looks good. Sounds good if you have surrounded sound. I live in the Dallas area and recognized the people in the born cursed episode, I know there not actors but are very successful family. I would say out of the 2 season there's probably 2 episodes i can do without, other than that they were very interesting and good.
