‘Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen’ X Review: Horror-Terrifying Tale That Will Make You Question Your Marriage, Netizens Say ‘Unique Storyline Creating Marital Horror’

Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen has finally dropped, and it’s already creating a stir among viewers for its eerie, unsettling narrative. Now streaming on Netflix, the eight-episode supernatural thriller is directed by Weronika Tofilska and backed by the creators of Stranger Things, the Duffer Brothers, along with Hilary Leavitt and Andrea Sperling. 

While audiences are praising its gripping storyline and performances, critics remain divided, with some pointing out its slow pacing and calling it a one-time watch.

Headlined by Camila Morrone as Rachel and Adam DiMarco as Nicky, the series has sparked widespread conversation online. The plot follows the couple as they prepare for their wedding—until everything takes a dark turn when Rachel discovers a chilling message written in blood: “Don’t marry him.” 

#SomethingVeryBadIsGoingToHappen mixes something old with something new to create a marital horror that’s refreshingly unique (especially for Netflix).

The worst thing you could do is skip this show entirely.
