By the time the titular horror finally arrives, it’s hard not to wish that something very bad hadn’t happened five hours ago. Go to Full Review Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) 4d
3/5
...the eight episodes have a tendency to draw out the narrative, complete with twists and plenty of horror tropes such as jump scares, without ever deepening it. The unspoken demand here is patience. Go to Full Review Louis Chilton Independent (UK) 4d
2/5
The drab and colourless look of "Something Very Bad" undermines everything else about it, neutering horror and drama alike. Go to Full Review Lucy Buglass TechRadar 2d
4/5
Something Very Bad is Going to Happen delivers on that promise, but not before filling its audiences with a horrible, lingering sense of dread first. Go to Full Review Amelia Harvey Movies We Texted About Apr 4
Haley Z. Boston effectively uses the horror genre to unpack big concepts like marriage, soul mates, and the fact that you’re not marrying just your partner but their family. Go to Full Review Paula Vázquez Prieto La Nación (Argentina) Apr 3
3/5
It's not that the series is overflowing with originality, but it does create an effective and unsettling atmosphere...that asks you to step into its strange, disturbing journey... [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Laura U @LauraUz 24m This series is about a stupid woman. That’s all I can really say See more Finnegan T @RT91297792 18h Something bad is about to happen is a normal scary thrilling horror series that in the middle of the show decides to completely flip the narrative. It flips into a fantastical wacky world of paranormal and supernatural curses. Instead of following up on the grooms creepy family it turns itself into a blood fest for the sake of the title of the show alone. It didn’t earn its ending with clever story build up and progression. This show wants to be seen as smart but ends up just being a show to slowly drag you into Blood. See more brooklyn T. @RT82100885 21h i thought it was very good and lowkey some parts had me scared lol See more Trinidad E @RT15710803 22h I think straight-people-domestic horror should go further than an easy solution (to simply not get traditionally married if there’s a curse regarding marriages). There were unnecessary scenes and unresolved moments. It was amateur writing and outdated in its themes. Not scary at all but was promising in its premise. No one was likeable except maybe the brother-in-law. See more Undefined T. @undefined_streamer 1d Decent but fell a bit flat at the end. Didn’t really have that binge quality I was hoping for but it was ok See more Aaron T @Aaron689 1d Not the worst thing I have ever seen but definitely not worth the time. If you want to watch something similar but much better just watch Ready or Not See more Read all reviews
