Bright Falls

Well, I watched it at night! And it worked! Just got myself an Alan Wake game and stumbled upon these series by chance.

It's great opportunity to be engaged by the dark movie's atmosphere and be introduced to some in-game persons.

It's kinda scary watch it an night, not because of some special effects, but because of obscurity and dark fears nesting deep down inside the soul of each other human being.

Directing is good: it says not much, just enough for your ming to start working. Guessing.

Worth watching!

Bright Falls is better than some of the most popular series on TV today. It does in a few short episodes what might take a full series an entire season.

The performances are exceptional and the mysteries are frightening and engaging. I'm blown away by this series and hope to see more of it soon.

Every episode was truly scary at some point - not bad fabricated scares or horror movie clichés but the kind of scary that gets under your skin and stays with you.

I found the plot really easy to follow, which made the strange digressions and weird encounters all the more engaging.

I never felt like they were for a trivial purpose - there's a definite, frightening order to the way the main character interacts with the townspeople and the things he finds out about the town and himself.

The last episode paid off on all the mysteries set up without telling us specifics and without letting up on the creepiness - if anything, in answering questions, it also raised bigger ones, and scarier ones that make me want more!

Bright Falls is how a series should be!!!

Alan Wake has certainly had an upswing with Alan Wake 2 being released in 2023.

Many people come to the original game which was released in 2010 and remastered in 2021.

Not so many people I'd say knows about this series now, but it is available in upscaled 1440p on YouTube.

Around 35 minutes long it tells the story of a man's process from normality to madness - what type you'll understand if you play the game.

We get to see real life locations from the game, as well as some characters like Emil Hartman and Rose (whose model they used in the remaster).

The way this story is shot is top notch, and we get so many emotions through the sheer astounding acting of everyone involved. This miniseries is a lot better than for instance the FMVs from Quantum Break, and Phillip Van manages to squeeze every acting percentage of all involved. How he did this is totally mind boggling, but was apparently a bit of a passion project, and it shows.

It serves as a great way to be introduced to Bright Falls, and Alan Wake and I recommend anyone to watch it before embarking on your journey with the first game. It even contains some minor info regarding Alan Wake which is referenced in a talk show in game. Nice touch!

You won't regret watching it!
