Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen

Matt Roush says...

Here comes the bride, all stressed in white. Camila Morrone (Daisy Jones & the Six) stars in Haley Z. Boston’s macabre and darkly amusing eight-part thriller (executive produced by Stranger Things‘ Duffer Brothers) as superstitious bride-to-be Rachel, whose paranoid dread grows exponentially during the week leading up to her “I Do’s” with favorite son Nicky (Adam DiMarco). Rachel has no family to speak of, making her feel even more of an outsider when she and Nicky arrive at her future in-laws’ creepy and sprawling enclave deep in the snowy woods. It’s one thing to harbor doubts about pledging oneself to the person who might or might not be your soulmate. Quite another to be unnerved by a bizarre clan, ruled by morose matriarch Jennifer Jason Leigh, that makes the Addams Family almost appear normal. Forget throwing rice. Brandishing garlic to ward off evil spirits might be more appropriate.
