Customer Reviews
Excellent
It’s a well executed audio drama with intriguing premise in (to me) unfamiliar setting. I was spellbound and listened to the whole thing in one sitting. I have nothing but the praise for the team behind this podcast and I’ll be keeping an eye out for their new content.
Hauntingly beautiful and beautifully haunting
Binged the entire series in one night, and I, too, lost track of time by the end of it. The chillingly realistic presentation, coupled with a story that could genuinely be explained in two equally compelling ways (which the characters are also caught between) was a stroke of genius, and the ending caught me by surprise in the best way possible. I don’t think those final lines will leave me anytime soon, and I can’t wait to see what Red Scare Theatre does next!
Chilling & Brilliant
I have to admit the content warnings made me nervous, but I'm so glad I stuck with it. The story is chilling and realistic, but the ending didn't leave me feeling ultimately haunted (a thing that always puts me off about horror stories). The writing is precise and empathetic, and I know that the nuances of this story will stay with me for a while.
