What to Know

Critics Consensus

Chapelwaite's drab proceedings are stretched a bit thin over ten episodes, but those looking for an atmospheric whodunit with a few genuine frights could do worse.

It doesn’t threaten to do much damage to the shibboleth that King adaptations for television never really work. Go to Full Review Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald Sep 2, 2021
It has an Oscar winner in Adrien Brody -- and all the goodwill that comes along with Schitt's Creek's Emily Hampshire -- but this potboiling Stephen King adaptation doesn't immediately set the world on fire. Go to Full Review Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya AV Club Aug 27, 2021

Even Adrien Brody can’t bring this Halloween horror to life. Go to Full Review Victoria Segal Sunday Times (UK) Oct 17, 2022
A tale of ambiguous insanity, family secrets and mysterious disease, set in mid-19th-century America, it will appeal to fans of Ridley Scott’s The Terror, its pall of heavy dread brought to life (or maybe death) by the effortlessly gothic Adrien Brody.

Though the bones of the story itself are ancient, showrunners Jason  and Peter Filardi embrace the gorier details of the folklore as well as the time period’s candlelit atmosphere to create a captivating story rich with gothic American imagery. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
