Never less than intriguing and often attention-grabbing, it’s also uneven and a little messy in its development.
Never less than intriguing and often attention-grabbing, it’s also uneven and a little messy in its development.
The Shudder Original blends ghost stories, personal missions, and dark family history.

It’s consistently absorbing as it plunges deep into a Southern Gothic milieu where you can’t escape the sins of your parents no matter how far you run.
It successfully carries on the gruesome imagination and decrepit, unsettling mood that hooked audiences the first time around.
