Il mio incontro con il male

I couldn't finish the first episode. Is that bad.

The first story is told by The mother of a "possessed" girl. She watched how her infant daughter had visions in school, started hurting herself really bad, and the first solution she came up with (after several years) was to put prayers on a sound stereo.... Seriously? Not even one appointment to the doctor to check if your daughter doesn't suffer schizophrenia?? These are all ignorant people, or very smart people trying to sell books.

At one point they put "real videos" of exorcisms, and you can hear how the possessed person is making animalistic sounds, then you can hear the voice of the priest with the same sound effect haha. This is so cheap and disgusting. Is cringe worthy.

I don't recommend this to anybody.

It's interesting to watch and adding real footage is a good thing. Real testimony from the people also helps give credibility. It also brings the opposite opinion by psychologists which is credible too. Unfortunately the production is so bad it's awful to watch. I do not get this recent trend by Netflix documentaries in foreign language with the dubbing into English. Instead of hearing just the English you can hear both languages and most of the time at almost the same volume making it impossible to understand what you're hearing. Also the 3 stories keep moving from one story to the other then back, making it very confusing. Especially when you add how some people are talking about themselves in the past, played by actors, or talking about family members, in the end you have no idea whos speaking and about what and which story is this now and what's happening and it's just confusing and annoying. In the end the only way to watch this is by both being dubbed and subs at the same time. That means you miss many details as you're focused on the subtitles and not seeing what's happening over the corner. Dubbing nowadays is synced automatically making it comfortable to watch as the mouth moves n stops with the words. Nope not here. Since they decided to start the dubbed voice a few seconds after the original. Is this done to give the viewer a sense of discomfort that they might subconsciously attribute to the effect of the stories? Making them feel the story is strong and having such an effect? Whatever the reason I personally dump shows like this after not being able to cope with dumb easily avoided annoyances. I think this will happen with this show too. Unfortunately. I'd recommend trying but be warned that all the problems I mentioned above are multiplied in their bad quality in episode 2. It just keeps getting worse.

I wish Netflix would start doing dubbing over non-English shows. I don't speak any other language. It's very hard to understand what they're saying because they have the cast speaking Spanish but when I tried to put the English subtitles on, you can hear both languages at the same time. I can't focus on what they're saying. I have ADHD too so understanding these subtitles are extremely difficult for me to understand. It's seems like a great show too. I didn't think it would be re-enactments though. Thought it would be only interviews and normal documentary formats. But the acting is bad, it's like they can't figure out what this show should be. Ugh. So many shows I want to enjoy on Netflix but the voices are always so low, music is ALWAYS too loud over voices. But I'm so disappointed because I love these types of documentaries but I can't focus on it so unfortunately I gotta stop because the voice overs sucks.

I was literally terrified watching this show. Started this at night and could not stop watching, had to wait until morning to finish. Recommend watching it with a bible in your lap and during the day when the sun is shining bright. The actresses and actors were actually good and scenes were well done, horrific and scary. The thing that got me the most were the "live" footage and their sounds...completely haunting. Now I'm afraid to shower by myself or be alone. I highly recommend watching this with a BIble in your lap, or a least a room full of other people. Try not to scream out loud. I will need to say a prayer before doing anything else. This is truly frightening compared to the movies that have been released on the subject.

My only complaint is that others do not believe it his, in terms of TV shows why are there people appropriatiny Hispanic voices in this. I cannot stand that it's okay for some other races or ethnic groups to appropriate Hispanic/Latino/Mexican culture. Let's get it right that Mexican are not lations from Latin America or Hispanic whichbsi from Spain. How can everyone be fighting for rights and yet not care about Spanish speakers in the USA. Don't talk to me about fairness for others until someone actually notices and has backed us up. Especially for those who served. I do know believe that it is fair to care only for one enthic group. Let's care for all.
