Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

candrellbishop The Erie town this takes place in sets the tone for the show! I have watched the entire first 2 seasons in 43 hours! The suspense, mystery and just the right amount of horror sets this series aside from most! Excellent show!!! The American remake is not so great.

gogoschka-1 The eerie atmosphere in this strange, beautiful series about returning dead people is absolutely captivating and a unique experience. This ranks among the best I've recently seen on TV or in the cinema. The whole production, from the actors to the setting and the music, is pure art. 9 stars out of 10.In case you're interested in more underrated masterpieces, here's some of my favorites:imdb.com/list/ls070242495

iarlanthirien I thoroughly enjoyed watching the 1st series, despite not at all being a fan of supernatural and/ or zombie-movies and series. The characters were well-thought out and performed, the setting was eerie but interesting and overall it left me wanting to see more. Unfortunately, the second series didn't live up to my expectations... I really struggled getting through the first episode, and gave up entirely after the second. That said, the first season was great enough to watch on its own and comes highly recommended.

Duncan Kimball Don't waste a second on the mawkish, predictable American remake. "Les Revenants" is the real deal, and I have to rate this as the best supernatural thriller series ever made for TV. It bears some similarities to earlier efforts like Twin Peaks and Lost, but unlike its forebears it never disappoints, never veers off into the kind of silliness or pomposity that marred both of those otherwise fine programs. If the first episode, in which a young French girl inexplicably returns from the dead, doesn't grab you, then I don't know what will - intriguing, riveting and strange - and it just gets better from there. It builds from this low-key, mysterious beginning, getting weirder, more mysterious, more disturbing with each episode, and climaxes with a gripping, edge-of-the-seat cliffhanger. An unforgettable highlight for me was the scene in which we first see mystery-boy Victor emerging from the darkness behind the bus stop - no gore, no knives, no monsters, nothing overtly "thrilling" - yet it's one of the most profoundly scary TV moments I've ever witnessed. The series moves at a deliberate pace, and some (American?) viewers might find a little slower than they are used to, but I exhort you to just get into its strange, sombre mood and go with it - you will not be disappointed. The script and storyline are brilliant, and the revelations, as they unfold, leave you panting for more. The performances are uniformly excellent, and the younger actors are particularly fine. most notably the boy who plays Victor, who is is *amazing* - it's no wonder that (as I read on the internet last year) people ran away from him when they saw him on the street when he was on holiday in the south of France! Easily the best child performance in this genre since young Bill Mumy's iconic turn in 'The Twilight Zone'. The photography, design and the fantastic Mogwai score are all superb. The magnificent locations - the stunning mountains, the looming dam, the lake - are both stunning in themselves, and absolutely intrinsic to the story. I cannot recommend this highly enough. I realise that the fact that it's a subtitled French-language series it will inevitably dissuade some viewers and prevent it from gaining the wider recognition it deserves, but in my view this is absolutely one of the very best TV series I have ever seen. Do not miss it.
