People 'traumatized' by underrated Stephen King horror series on Netflix

Christian Thorpe’s creation based on a Steven King’s novella has left viewers 'traumatized' as the show enjoyed a surge in popularity seven years on from its release.

If you are struggling to find something on Netflix to binge and unsurprisingly come up short then this is the series for you, according to fellow horror buffs.

The show - based on Stephen King's spine-chilling book of the same name - takes place in a small, close-knit town where everyone seems to know your business.

But the residents’ already complicated lives become further disrupted when a mist containing unseen horrors covers the village, trapping them. Take a look, if you can brave it:

It’s not just these nightmares in the fog that are the problem for the residents however, with long-standing internal disputes and vendettas between the townspeople that create added tension.

The show does well in using this combination of outright horror in the form of the supernatural threats in the mist, and complicated dynamic between the townspeople who grow more desperate day by day.

The shows stars the likes of Morgan Spector, Alyssa Sutherland, Gus Birney, Danica Curcic, with the response to the series overall seemingly pretty mixed.

Many have seen taken to LADbible's Netflix Bangers Facebook page to share their thoughts.

Plenty of fans agreed that the show was terrifying, with one commenting 'why did Steven King have to traumatize like this?'

Another insisted there needed to be more episodes, writing: "“The mist” it needs a season 2 in my opinion."

However, while some viewers believed it could be scary at times, 'it was too focused on the teen aspects of the show', someone else wrote on Reddit, arguing that perhaps the horror element took a back seat to the plot.

Another viewer took to IMDb to express belief the show was boring, joking: “the mist doesn’t kill as much as boredom”

One commenter on Reddit completely disagreed as they wrote: “I just binge watched the series and am hooked on it."

The Mist is streaming on Netflix now.
