People Are Saying 'Ares' On Netflix Is So 'F*king Disturbing' They Can't Finish It

Netflix is no stranger to airing creepy flicks and TV series - and by the sounds of things, it has certainly not held back with new programme Ares.

The foreign language eight-part series has been causing quite a stir on Twitter with its occult plot that sees an ambitious new student, Rosa Steenwijk, join an exclusive society in Amsterdam that bears a horrifying secret.

It sounds like it's got all the ingredients of a horror. A cult society, a dark secret locked up in the basement, suicide, gory initiations and a place where power comes at a terrible price.

Bring that all together and you get viewers who are so disturbed by it they cannot bear to watch any more.

One took to Twitter to say: "Ares on netflix is so fu**ing disturbing i can't finish it".

A second commented: "Ok so has anybody watched Ares on netflix? cause im scared sh*tless and i wanna know if i should keep watching or".

Another added: "Ares on Netflix is fu**ed up on soooo many levels but us a true blue story of justice and revenge. AND DAMN DID THEY KEEP ME HOOKED. #Aresnetflix".

As a fourth said: #AresNetflix is disturbing, unsettling, creepy and weird as fuck. Exactly my kind of sh*t."

Another even went as far as to say it had Carrie-esque vibes. We're expecting lots of stabbings or at least gory killings.

The Twitter goer said: "Just finished Ares. Wow! It wasn't what I expected but I loved it. Dark. Artsy. Atmospheric. Great cinematography. Creepy. A lot was unexplained. But the ending is very satisfying & slightly Carrie-esque. I hope there's a Season 2 & I wonder where it takes us. #Aresnetflix #Ares".

It's massively binge-able though at just 25-30 minutes an episode, so if you're a horror lover you can whizz through, or if you're a bit of a scaredy cat, it's easy to dip in and out of with such short stints offered up.

It's not the only disturbing show Netflix has offered up this year either, with people calling The Stranger, which dropped last month, a "mind f**k" too.

Jheez. There's just so much on our watch list.
