The legendary author, Stephen King gave the green light to watch the French series, ‘Marianne’, recommending it to all viewers who are fond of the horror genre. King expressed that the series has the humouristic essence of ‘Stranger Things’, while ‘with all due modesty’ it also gives the ‘Stephen King vibe’.
The horrifying mystery thriller revolves around a girl named Emma, who is a writer and is forced to return to her hometown as she is haunted by the woman who used to appear 15 years ago. The writer’s work appears to be complete fiction until her friend suggests that the evil spirit might be the witch she wrote about. Now, is the work really fiction - a creature she imagined, or something more dangerous?
Many viewers recommended the series by calling it ‘Binge-watchable’ and reviewed it as so disturbingly good that they couldn’t take their eyes off the content. The direction is so well depicted that it feels like the people shown are not characters but real lives who are affected.
‘Stranger Things’, the series that is in the final days of production, will release its fifth and the last season in 2025. The much-awaited finale has gripped the audience with its exceptional storyline and remarkable cinematography. ‘Marianne’ serves as a classic and engaging replacement for it, as officially declared by ‘The Shining’ author.
