Community Reviews

Viewers find Archive 81 to be a gripping blend of horror and mystery, with a strong atmospheric presence that enhances the eerie and unsettling vibe. The series skillfully intertwines elements of the supernatural with a realistic investigation, reminiscent of X-Files episodes. While the slow pace and deliberate storytelling are praised for building tension, some find it overly slow and occasionally confusing. The sound design and narrative structure are highlights, contributing to a hypnotic viewing experience.

👍 Hypnotic atmosphere and sound design

👎 Pacing may be too slow for some

Spooky, mysterious up until the very end. I feel like there may have been a lot of plot holes but I really just didn’t care. I really really enjoyed it.
