A mini horror series on the streaming platform is gaining viral attention online as users film their reactions.
Although it was added to Netflix a while ago, it’s recently garnered the attention of a wider audience.
In particular, viewers are discussing one ‘disturbing’ s** scene.
After watching it, one person wrote: “I felt physically sick watching this scene.”
Another agreed, adding: “That scene was insane! Please, someone, erase it from my head.”
“This is one of the most gross scenes in TV history, I don’t ever want to be reminded of it,” somebody else commented.
While the miniseries has triggered such a strong reaction from some viewers, many critics believe it’s worth the watch.
Caroline Framke wrote for variety “A dark and twisty series that delights in getting truly gross, Netflix’s newest tells a scattered tale of vengeance and ownership that’s lucky to have a stellar performance at its center.”
“It contains wild visuals that unravel in a slow Rube Goldberg-like nature that shows that revenge takes time. It’s a neon-soaked, nightmare-fueled exploration of identity, s**uality, and the artificial constructs that perpetuate their exploitation,” Daniel Kurland reviewed for BI**dy disgusting
The horror series has also earned a rating of 7.1/10 on IMDb and 76% on Rotten Tomatoes.
The show’s official synopsis reads: “A filmmaker heads to Hollywood in the early ’90s to make her movie but tumbles down a hallucinatory rabbit hole of s**, magic, revenge – and kittens.”
Created by Channel Zero writers Lenore Zion and Nick Antosca, it stars Rosa Salazar, Manny Jacinto, Jeff Ward, Eric Lange, and Siena Werber.
The Netflix series, which premiered in 2021, is based on a book by Todd Grimson and shares the same title.
The graphic scene that left many viewers haunted occurs in episode four of Brand New Cherry Flavor.
It follows the filmmaker, named Lisa, as she uses a witch to get revenge.
However, the witch’s curse has strange side effects for Lisa, who begins vomiting newborn kittens, which is gruesome enough to watch.
Lisa then begs Boro to make that stop, so instead she ends up birthing one from a new orifice that tore itself in her torso.
After watching this scene, one viewer stated: “Brand New Cherry Flavor is f**ed up.”
