10 Best Horror TV Shows Of 2020
4. Ares
Starring the likes of Jade Olieberg, Tobias Kersloot, Lisa Smit and Robin Boissevain, Ares is a horror series that originated from the Netherlands and premiered on Netflix back in January 2020. The show was created by Pieter Kuijpers, Iris Otten and Sander van Meurs and follows a young medical student named Rosa as she joins a secretive student society named Ares.
These sorts of horror shows and films, built around suspense and mystery through creating uncomfortable and eerie atmospheres, have become so much more popular in recent times with the likes of The Invitation and The Perfect Host, and these themes are expanded upon over the course of Ares' ten episodes in its first season.
On top of the mystery behind the nature and motivations of the student society, the show certainly doesn't pull any punches when it comes to showing some pretty dark stuff. The show's writers were clearly able to be let loose with what they wanted to show, which makes for one seriously memorable horror show.
Each episode is split into 30-minute chunks, which is just long enough for the bar to be raised each time and for something new to unfold, but short enough for things to remain nice and punchy.
