Haunted

This show just seems so exaggerated that you immediately think that it isn't real. These are people making up stories who trying to make a quick buck. I'm only two episodes in but if any of these events occurred, some newspaper or someone would have tried to make it known. Ridiculous.

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.

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.

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.

What made this series so poor was that it is advertised as supposedly true stories based on interviews from the victims. Perhaps the "true story" aspect was intended to make it seem scarier, but in reality, it was a distraction. First of all, as other reviewers are saying, there was no evidence to back up any of these accounts. Second, the stories were so over the top that it was highly unlikely they were true. If they would have left out the true aspect, cut out the interviews, and just made this a scary anthology series of ghost stories, it could be pretty good.
