On the other hand
On the other hand is an anthology miniseries based on the comics by RL Stine. Boom! Studios. Each episode follows a new character who finds himself in a mysterious situation. The first tells, for example, about the complicated situation of a girls’ school in which strange events are taking place. It’s very reminiscent of the Goosebumps series or even The Fourth Dimension, mixing horror, fantasy and sci-fi. Unlike Stranger Things, this series is aimed at a younger audience and has the advantage of being able to be watched in any order.
the maze
the maze and its sequels are a series of films that tell how only male teenagers with amnesia are trapped in a giant maze. They are rationed each month and trapped in a monster-inhabited structure. One day, a mysterious girl comes with the message “She’s the last”. She even knows one of the boys present. It is the adaptation of the work of James Dasher: The Maze Runner and in particular the Trilogy of the Test Cycle. The film adaptations are being made by Wes Ball with a cast of young actors from series such as Game of Thrones or Teen Wolf.
morgan
morgan follows Lee who is sent to a remote and unknown location to learn more about the event that happened there. Inside is Morgana, who looks innocent but is actually hiding a terrible secret. The film attempts to reference works such as Ex Machina and Frankenstein by touching on similar themes. The actors themselves were acclaimed for their performance as Morgane, with Anya Taylor-Joy (Le Jeu de la Dame) front row, despite a Luke Scott adaptation that was too classic.

For her
For her is often considered the French version of Stranger Things. Created by Quoc Dang Tran, the series follows four friends – Bilal, Romane, Samuel and Victor – whose lives are shattered during a mysterious event that sends them into parallel dimensions. The series is short – it’s only six episodes long – which reinforces the storytelling and makes for an entertaining sci-fi tale. With this series, France dares again to science fiction and (finally) revisits a genre that it pioneered. Good news, Parallèles has been renewed for a second season.
phenomena
The film phenomena is intended for a fairly mature audience as it has been R-rated. It is in fact forbidden from the age of 17. It revolves around a strange event, that of a collective suicide that took place in the city of New York, in the middle of Central Park. Neither one nor two, the government is on the hunt for terrorists, even if they don’t really know what happened. At the same time, a couple decides to flee from this invisible killer. The film is directed by M. Night Shyamalan best known for Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Split and Glass. The eerie tension is constantly present in this thriller, which makes it one of its greatest strengths.
sign
We end with another film by M. Night Shyamalan. ”’Signes follows the Hess family and in particular Father Graham who has just lost his wife. Despite a difficult situation, he has to raise his two children alone. On one of their fields, they discover huge crop circles, which their father sees as proof of the existence of extraterrestrials. These are real crop circles that were created for the film, it would have been a question to create dozens of them for advertising across the country. In fact, the director admitted to having a fascination with its mysterious symbols. Despite a lackluster public response, Signs remains a staple of M. Night Shyamalan.
