About

"Class war reimagined as costume horror"

Set in the years just before the French Revolution, this series imagines a mysterious blood disease spreading among the aristocracy, twisting class resentment into full-blown horror. A young doctor and a peasant uprising collide with something more monstrous than politics. The tone is moody and stylized, heavy on atmosphere, gore, and candlelit dread rather than historical accuracy. It moves briskly across its short run, blending costume drama with body-horror set pieces. It works best if you enjoy genre mashups that use history as a springboard rather than a rulebook.

Watch it for

the audacious mashup of Revolutionary-era politics with genuinely unsettling body horror.

Maybe skip if

you want historical accuracy or dislike graphic gore mixed into period drama.
