It's not just the effects work that makes this worth your time though, as the focus on a group of survivors in an isolated apartment building – chiefly suicidal teen Cha Hyun-soo (Song Kang), former firefighter Seo Yi-kyung (Lee Si-young), and Pyeon Sang-wook (Lee Jin-wook), who may be a brutal gangster – roots the terror in an engaging, flawed, and desperate cast of characters. With phenomenal effects work that blends sensational prosthetics, CGI, and even stop motion for some disturbingly juddering monsters, this stands apart from the horror crowd. Sweet Homeīased on the Korean webcomic by by Kim Carnby and Hwang Young-chan, Sweet Home offers a very different vision of apocalyptic endtimes – rather than pandemics or disasters or even zombies, this posits an end of the world brought about by people's transformation into grotesque monsters, each unique and seemingly based on their deepest desires when they were human. With two seasons already and a third confirmed, it's a slower burn than Stranger Things but one of the best supernatural shows on Netflix. Adapted from the comics by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez, this blends family drama and ancient conspiracies into a magical realism-tinged dark fantasy. As the family are drawn into generations-old secrets surrounding the key and others like it – keys that unlock the soul from the body, that unlock buried memories, that unlock ghosts, and more – they also discover there may be more to their patriarch's killing than they thought. While the rest of the family try to settle into their new lives, youngest son Bode instead finds a strange key, one that can open up doors to anywhere. When Rendell Locke is killed, his wife Nina and children Tyler, Kinsey, and Bode relocate from Seattle to the ancestral homestead of Keyhouse in Massachusetts.
