A marked improvement with a new story, effective frights and a keen commentary on generational scars, The Scare is a scream.

4.5/5
With absolutely fantastic performances and characters written with depth, the series explores different themes in such a way that it all rushes at you relentlessly episode after episode. Go to Full Review Chris Joyce Movies and Munchies (YouTube) 05/23/2024
4.5/5
The theme of generational trauma is executed well, using layered character elements along with visceral and disturbing imagery to produce a pointed social commentary that unfortunately is still more than relevant today. Go to Full Review Alex Maidy JoBlo's Movie Network 05/03/2024
6/10
Deborah Ayorinde once again delivers a strong leading performance, balanced by Luke James, which makes Them: The Scare worth checking out, but it does not work, as a whole, as well as last season. Go to Full Review Aglaia Berlutti Hipertextual 05/01/2024

Them: The Scare, the second instalment of the anthology, is a brilliant piece of psychological body horror, much more interesting and better crafted than its predecessor. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Brandon Avery Just My Opinion Reviews 04/29/2024

Craig B @Boundsy Jan 14 Continues on from where 'The Convenant' left off. Very disturbing and riveting, led by an incredible tour de force performance by Deborah Ayorinde. See more Anthony T @Antman96 Jan 10 Don’t listen to the reviews that are saying the show, writing and acting was mediocre. I thoroughly enjoyed the cinematography and plot of this season. The acting was very on point for the characters and kept you on your toes for not knowing what’s going to happen next. I completely get how this might not be someone’s style of cinema in relation to horror. See more Gareth v @geewah Jun 24 It's boring. Yes, there are some themes that it tries to convey admirally but it is overshadowed by a lame serial killer plot that leaves so many perplexing questions unanswered. See more D P @RT45936356 04/04/2025 Enjoyed this entire series. Both seasons. This one was more digestible for the viewer than the first season, but the artistry was commendable for both stories. I think the climax was underwhelming here. But that's okay. Still an enjoyable experience. See more MD A @RT78608513 04/01/2025 It is about a masterpiece the villain is a IC four villain but this villain note what I acting what I act real talent Sara Dard bhula Diya See more Scott M @RT46449324 03/24/2025 Tied with The Haunting of Hill House for the scariest and most heart-wrenching horror tv show I've ever seen. Season 1 was good, but this season is incredible. See more Read all reviews
