This was the moment I realized this series transcended all my preconceived notions. It was so raw, honest, even mournful.

For those remarking about the incredible soundtrack, it is composed and performed by the Scottish Post-Rock band Mogwai. The album "Les Revenants" is available digitally as well as on vinyl.

I have seen the entire series, and I will say without giving any plot points away that the gore is kept to a minimum. When used, it is by and large for a reason. The series mostly relies on good old-fashioned dread and ambiance to get its scare across.
