More Critic Reviews for Channel Zero Candle Cove All Critics (21) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (18) | Rotten (3) Candle Cove stands in direct opposition to the histrionics of American Horror Story and the like; it's a quiet, unsettling work that builds to a buzzing, static-hum crescendo in its final act. May 4, 2017 | Full Review… Travis Johnson FILMINK (Australia) Top Critic Channel Zero: Candle Cove is faithful to creepypasta in the way that matters most: by recognizing that children can experience fear that's as complex, terrifying, and real as anything felt by adults. Oct 26, 2016 | Full Review… Lenika Cruz The Atlantic Top Critic It's even more disturbing if you have kids...and a guy in your backyard wearing a skeleton costume. Dec 3, 2018 | Full Review… Nick Venable CinemaBlend We're not sure we've ever seen anything like the tooth child in Candle Cove, and it has haunted our dreams ever since. Dec 3, 2018 | Full Review… Ian Sandwell Digital Spy Season one is okay to miss. Visually it's done really well... but I need stuff to move and I was just sitting there staring at the TV just wondering when things were going to happen. Aug 28, 2018 | Full Review… Funmi Sunmonu Add This To Your List But the finish of the series, we do not know if it is intended or because of lack of means, but the lack of charisma of its protagonist weighs down a series that wants and can only partially accomplish its goal. [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 9, 2018 | Full Review… Natalia Marcos El Pais (Spain) Channel Zero is the answer to our unfulfilled nightmares. It is easily the scariest show on television...so why the hell aren't you watching it? Mar 15, 2018 | Full Review… Vanessa Bogart Slashfilm Channel Zero is a slow-drip of terror, but the compelling mystery underneath will keep you glued to the series even when everything else in your brain is telling you to shut it off. Mar 15, 2018 | Full Review… Dustin Rowles Pajiba The strength of Channel Zero lies in its ability to offer brief but deeply unsettling flashes of horror that go beyond just the creepy marionette puppets featured in the Candle Cove scenes. Mar 15, 2018 | Full Review… Jamie Righetti Film School Rejects It's a compelling mystery built from the questions the story raises and true to the horror it evokes. Nov 9, 2017 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review… Sol Harris Starburst View All Critic Reviews (21) Audience Reviews for Channel Zero: Candle Cove Oct 14, 2018 A surprisingly scary and plot heavy season for a TV show, this is an amazing season for an amazing show. Gannon K Aug 22, 2018 This show was amazing. Definitely creeped me out. Aug 12, 2018 Somewhere between American Horror Story and Stranger things, Channel Zero: Candle Cove provides a meandering plot through the subtle horrors shared by children around the world. Relying on few jump scares or over-the-top special effects, Candle Cove still delivers spine-tingling terror. For those who prefer chills to thrills, a must watch. Gary V Mar 12, 2018 at the beginning,i thought it could lead to something.i kept watching because i thought it would become more interesting or scarier or at least build up in some way.the idea is quite interesting but the implementation rather poor,unfortunately.the end was the most disappointing to me.nevertheless,i will give season 2 a chance as it has better reviews. Mar 07, 2018 Saw it... did that mistake! do not try it.. this serie left me wondering what was that.... feeling that i wasted some hours of my life with no reason. this 6 episode serie lacks of info and i feel completely unsatisfied from what i saw. good actors, scenario at best thrash Mar 01, 2018 This has the potential to be a really good show. Well shot. Great cast. Really unsettling in parts. However six episodes is way too long. The plot meanders as if to fit the time it was given. They shoe horn in random characters and plot devices pointlessly (the relationship that started to develop between the cops for example). They could have cut out alot of the stuffing, just kept the meat, given it 4 episodes, and it would have been a great show. Adam V Feb 28, 2018 Good casting with a fun and creative take on Candle Cove. Christian K Feb 10, 2018 Well done 6 episodes that builds up an intriguing and spooky premise that then just keeps building even after the mystery behind Candle Cove is revealed, so that you're on the edge of your seat up to the very end. Joe M Jan 01, 2018 definitely comes out of left field and surprises the viewer. very unique storyline. the acting is very good. the ending leaves a little to be desired. overall a decent series premiere. Riff J Oct 27, 2017 My daughter and I Ioved the first season and the second! I really hope there is a season 3. Wish there more than 6 episodes. Have to wait a whole year again....
