“Are you sure he’s the one?”
Something Very Bad is Going to Happen is a limited horror series featuring eight episodes available to stream now on Netflix. It stars Camila Morrone, Adam DiMarco, Gus Birney, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Karla Crome, and Jeff Wilbusch. Each episode runs for approximately 42-48 minutes.
Rachel and Nicky head to his family home for their wedding, but Rachel begins to sense something ominous surrounding her big day. She soon finds out about a deadly curse if she doesn’t marry her true soulmate by sundown on her wedding day.
Here is the trailer:
Something Very Bad is Going to Happen has a familiar, but eerie enough premise to draw you in, leading up to a jaw-dropping conclusion. Is this series worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…
The Pros:
An eerie mystery.
In a lot of ways, this show reminded me of a Mike Flanagan series. I mean that as a compliment. There was this eerie gothic vibe that trickled through the entire series. I was completely hooked by the time I got to episode three and I thought the mystery surrounding the curse was a solid one.
Shocking ending.
I thought I had this one all figured out, but it definitely took an unexpected turn at the end. I’m still thinking about the ending. There will be no spoilers in this review, but wow…
Things didn’t turn out exactly as I expected them to, but I think this was for the best, helping this series stand out a little bit more in a unique way.
The Cons:
Nothing new here.
This film definitely had similar vibes to It Follows and Final Destination: Bloodlines. This isn’t a bad thing, but it’s a plot I’ve seen before. That being said, I still think it was executed exceptionally well. The overall sense of dread in this series was definitely captured and there were a few stand-out episodes that were presented in such a compelling way.
I also think this series could have been a little shorter. I think we could have wrapped everything up in six episodes, but I did find this one very easy to binge-watch.
So am I in or out?
I’m in!!!
Something Very Bad is Going to Happen nails its creepy, sinister vibe with a layered mystery at its core worth exploring.
This was a solid watch if you’re a fan of horror series.
