is scary.
This
series, with 8 episodes
, has become
Netflix's new success, according to its ranking of the most watched on the platform
.
And, with a rhythm far from the usual, it offers a
successful mix of mystery, surprises and interesting characters
around a story based on recorded tapes that appear some time later.
Virgil (Martin Donovan) watches from his mysterious office.
WITH THE ENDORSEMENT OF THE 'KING OF TERROR'
James Wan
is the king of terror today.
This Australian filmmaker, for those who don't know him, is
responsible for causing fear with the
Insidious
and
Warren File
sagas .
Global successes that have given those who saw those films a hard time.
In
Archivo 81
he works as a producer, which
is a great claim
to attract the fans of a director who has also been called by Hollywood to direct
Fast & Furious 7
and
Aquaman
.
The history of
Archivo 81
,
as far as it should be told,
revolves around some video tapes
.
They are the ones abandoned
by Dina Shihabi
(Saudi Arabian actress
Melody Pendras
, seen in the series
Jack Ryan
).
Looking for a historian (her mother, actually) in a building called Visser,
this girl always 'armed' with her camera
interviews the strange tenants of the Visser building in the 90s. What she tells him (or rather, what they hide him) appears recorded in some recordings to which he has access, some time later,
Dan Turner (Mamoudou Athie,
The Circle
).
Melody (Dina Shihabi) is a young woman who records everything with her camera.
Dan, who is a specialist technician when it comes to recovering old recordings, is required by
Virgil Davenport (Martin Donovan)
.
This mysterious man proposes that you carry out your work with a material that he will provide you with and that you will only be able to view in an abandoned building in the middle of the field.
With no cell phone reception, Dan slowly uncovers
what really happened in the Visser Building
many years ago.
And that has to do with his own personal history.
Dan Turner (Mamoudou Athie) is a specialist in recovering recorded tapes.
REASONS IN FAVOR OF THIS SERIES
But is this series as good as it seems? Due to its
rhythm, the dosage of information and its careful production
, it surprises in the first minutes. Something that, nowadays, is not usual.
A product that takes its time, with little dialogue and that offers more mystery than gore scenes
is to be celebrated. Religion, power and money are keys to the plot.
If we add to this that
the insane atmosphere is James Wan's personal trademark,
we can be sure that
Archivo 81
will be appreciated by those who think they have seen everything in the 'found footage' subgenre
.
Or, what is the same, 'found footage' that was so successful at the time with
The Blair Witch Project
and the subsequent
REC
,
Paranormal Activity
or
The Visit
.
Dan remains confined in a mysterious bunker.
The series is part of a podcast
called
Archivo 81
that was quite successful in the US when it was launched in 2015.
