Real Fears Touched Upon In Brilliantly Terrifying Ways
2 September 2017
Warning: Spoilers
This episode from the series Black Mirror just creeps me out and upsets me on so many levels. It touches, I suppose, on many of the fears that affect me most, those being isolation, non-existence, having an active mind but a non-functioning body (like a coma where you can't move one bit so everyone thinks you're dead but in fact you hear everything), and picking someone up at a party or bar that you don't know, only to find out that it was a very bad idea. Oh, and how love can change to hate and the horrors that come with letting your love grow to the point where, if it ever was betrayed, it could drive you mad beyond reason. This is a high-def link and surprisingly they all seem to be on you-tube. The atmosphere you watch them in affects a great deal the impact they would have. Must be in the evening/night and must be with the lights dimmed low. That's not precisely because the night is scarier than the daytime but because dark moods and fears thrive better and are more susceptible to causing fear at night/in the dark. I'm not joking though ladies and gentlemen, this is serious stuff.
