Why Stephen King Calls Netflix’sMariannethe Ultimate Nightmare Fuel
If you're a fan of spine-tingling, supernatural horror, then Netflix's French-language series Marianne is about to become your next obsession. Even the legendary Stephen King, the master of terror himself, has crowned it as a must-watch for anyone who dares to embrace their fear. King took to social media to express his admiration, saying, "If you’re one of those sickos—like me—who enjoys being scared, Marianne (Netflix) will do the job. There are glints of humor that give it a Stranger Things vibe. It also has (I say it with all due modesty) a Stephen King vibe." With a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s clear Marianne isn’t just another run-of-the-mill horror show.
The story revolves around Emma, a famous horror novelist who discovers that the sinister witch she created in her books may not be entirely fictional. When Emma decides to retire and returns to her childhood hometown, the terrifying nightmare she once wrote about becomes horrifyingly real. A childhood friend even claims to embody the witch, plunging the town into chaos and forcing Emma to confront the monster she thought was confined to her imagination.
