But where does the truth lie? A SHUDDER ORIGINAL SERIES

I really love how this series doesn't focus on just the curses and rumors, but also what people who worked on the films thoughts.

Most of the reviews are calling for a season 3, and I can't agree more. I will be thinking about this for a while.

I watched this documentary series a few years ago and it is one that has always stuck with me. Resubscribed to Shudder yesterday and was excited to not only re-watch the series, but to find that a second series has been made. My favourite aspect is how they do deep dives into why these films are seen as cursed, and then debunk them and remind the viewers that real people were effected by the tragedies and events surrounding these films. The first series is very good and give it 5 Stars. The second series is good but somehow doesn't have the same impact as the first so rate that 4 Stars. Recommend to anyone who likes horror, behind the scenes and conspiracy theory's.
