While it may seem like an interesting film, Don't Watch This isn't the greatest thing to come to Netflix.

One of the latest horror miniseries, Don’t Watch This, has quietly made its way onto Netflix this past week without creating much hype.

Definitely overshadowed by some of the highly anticipated Netflix originals like The Haunting of Hill House, Don’t Watch This is a collection of extremely short horror stories (ranging from two to nine minutes) that almost feels like a hybrid of Black Mirror and ABCs of Death, without the intelligence or creativity.

Unfortunately, the miniseries doesn’t push the boundaries enough to make its mark in the short horror genre.

Composed of five short stories, Don’t Watch This does manage to at least have some truly cringy moments.

Friendship Bracelet: Is your typical story about the loner child who has a dark and twisted imagination that eventually snaps when she is left out for the last time. While the episode is pretty lacklustre and has subpar acting, it does a good job at striking some emotion and tension within such a short period of time. If you were to watch just one out of this series, this would be the one I would recommend.

CTRL+ALT+DEL: While I would give it five stars for a creative attempt at a short story about the dark web, the horrific graphics and practical effects really take away from the episode. Definitely not a scary episode, but pretty gross for those with a weak stomach.

Incommodum: A disgusting montage of surreal imagery and bodily horrors that is definitely not for the faint of heart. Similar style to the opening of American Horror Story, Incommodum actually does a pretty good job at displaying real fears in an artistic manner.

Keep Out: Is probably the most unoriginal out of the entire season, featuring two guys who break into an abandoned house. Once they quickly realize they are not alone, they have to quickly make an escape if they want to survive. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much creativity added to this episode besides having an odd-looking creature that didn’t even make sense with the plot line that was presented. Keep Out was definitely the weakest episode in the series.

Antoni Psycho: Stars Antoni Porowski (Queer Eye) takes us through his quick, sick morning routine. While it was really well done, the scene was obviously taken directly from the iconic American Psycho and almost had a spoof like vibe. While not scary or overly disturbing in the least, it was an odd choice to end the series with.

While Don’t Watch This is definitely not as gruesome and scary as they claim to be, it was at least interesting to watch. The best part of this miniseries is that the entire thing is only about thirty minutes in length, so if you have some time to kill, I’d recommend giving it a watch if you have an interest in horror shorts. But as I hope I’ve made clear, go in with some pretty low expectations.
