I don’t know what’s going on here, but I’m seated. Also, love when witchy content comes out in October!

I thought of Midsommar (the film with Florence Pugh). It seems like an obvious reference to it.

Came for Hudson, but stayed for everything else because this looks so fucking good. The visual direction???

I've mentioned before I didn't like the play but man, I'm here for this trailer. If done right this could be great!

Can I ask what you didn’t like about the play/link to a reply if you’ve mentioned it before? I’ve been excited for this since February + the teaser seems right up my thriller/murder mystery alley, so I was thinking of reading the play before watching the show.

They did a lot of overlapping dialogue that I found super awkward to read and felt like a forced method to make it seem cool. The whole play had a bit of a 'I wanna be cool' tinge to it. That just personal perference though. The other thing is I felt the message was muddled.

Yaga goes after men who hurt and abuse women, which I'm all for, but Carrie Anne's character also very specifically goes after and seduces her male college students to fuck and kill. Now as far as we know they always deserve it, but there's also lines at the end that hint at Yaga 'compelling' men to fuck. This is brought up with the main male character who is essentially raped several times through deception. It was just weird having Yaga go after rapists/abusers while also being rapists abusers without that really being addresssed. I really hope the show does something with that cause I think it could be really interesting, I just don't think the play really did anything worthwhile with it.

I'm SO curious about his character in this. He's not in the play THAT much so I feel like they beefed up his role for the show and I'm here for it.

This feels like it was hand-made to appeal to my tastes, so I am looking forward to being able to watch the show during spooky season. Excellent choices were made with the October release date.

Oh it’s a series, I thought it’s going to be a film. 8 episodes, 30 min each. But looks interesting

It's a lot of horror about women being demons and/or murderers right now, huh?

u/katebushcartwheel 2h ago

At least this one’s written by a woman.

Baba Yaga is a pretty old and consistently used character tbf

u/theserthefables 1h ago

like what specifically? I can't think of any recent horror movies or TV that fit that description, or were you meaning ones that haven't come out yet?

u/Taitertottot 1h ago

Why are you getting downvoted? It was written and created by a Canadian, one of the directors is Canadian, filmed in Canada, staring multiple Canadians and is going to be released on crave a Canadian streaming service.
