La hora del diablo

This is not your put it on and do some cleaning around the house series. If you're not paying attention, well, you will be lost. I was meandering a bit and I actually did pay attention - I rewound a bit here and there.

I watched specifically because of Peter Capaldi - Who can resist a retired Doctor Who??

Actor Benjamin Chivers, who plays Issac, the young son, is nothing short of incredible. There's one scene where I found myself with my hand over my mouth and I had stopped breathing. This child was brilliant in his delivery.

This is NOT a series I would usually watch. It seems to be a concept that I have seen before, but can't name the program. I don't think this one was particularly well done, but it is very entertaining --- especially for the week before Halloween.

Enjoy! But only if you pay close attention.

WOW just finished this and can't stop thinking about it. It's a LONG time since a series has had this effect on me. A fantastic story and everything ties up in the end (as much as fiction can). Acting is exceptional, especially from Peter C and the child who plays Isaac. Be aware that the first few episodes won't make much sense, they keep moving time frames, certain characters come and go, situations change drastically and so on. Another reviewer has suggested to watch intently and not to scroll lazily at your phone. I concur, you really have to watch and take notice so as not to get confused and also to enjoy the wrap up in the last episode when it all falls sadly into place. I really loathed one character and can't say who without spoiling it but I'm sure you will know who I mean when you watch. I feel this series deserves a second viewing which I plan to do. Congratulations to all involved and especially to the writer/s for thinking outside the box.

You are going to have to watch the first five episodes - which I each rate with a decent 7/10 - to be able to watch the real gem: i.e. The sixth episode. That sixth episode is just so extremely awesome, that it alone deserves a 10/10.

It is the first time that I have ever watched such an "assymmetric" show. The difference between episodes 1-5 and 6 is just huge! And after seeing episode 6, you will also appreciate more all preceding episodes.

Averaging the different scores (5 episodes of 7 stars and 1 episode of 10 stars) will give this show a score of 7.5/10. Rounding this, gives an IMDb rating of 8 stars.

But please do understand that the real gem is the last episode. And you will have to watch all the episodes before it to really understand what is happening in episode 6.

I'll keep this review brief!

I've just finished binging this series and i can honestly say i was pleasantly surprised! It's a perfect mix of eerie and intriguing.

Directing and acting is top notch and the story is very engaging and intricate right from episode 1. There's plenty of unexpected twists and turns as the story develops but you must pay attention!

There are small details in each episode that are very relevant so bear that in mind before starting this series.

9/10 for me. One of the better tv shows released this year. Definitely worth a watch if you like a good psychological thriller!

This show. This. SHOW! It was everything I want in a thriller/suspense/drama! It had that looping property, this reliving and rechanging things all over again thing that I seriously love, love, LOVE! I was definitely team toss that demon child Isaac outside at first. He was creepy, he was weird, must be evil. As the show went on I realized I was the jerk just like everyone else around him. He couldn't help who he was, but he also DID learn and grow. In his own way. When Dhillon made him smile, my heart stopped. Every moment of this show had me on EDGE. I couldn't look away for fear of missing something. And finally, getting to hear Peter Capaldi's story at the end? Just as good! My only complaint is that I wish it was LONGER. But so many great scenes. (The overlay of people/events in that house?? Come on soooo good!) Seriously this one kept me watching until the very end and continued to grip me even once it was done. I've added no spoilers so you can simply enjoy it but MAN was it great! Also, Mike sucks. -_- Peter Capaldi is just as wonderful as he was in Doctor Who. But the lead actress? Amazing! I loved her strength, her love for Isaac, and her care for other people as well as her resolve. She did amazing!
