If you’re a David Lynch fan — and if you were into recent Netflix horror releases like Brand New Cherry Flavor and Archive 81 — you should also put Netflix’s Cracow Monsters on your list of titles from the genre to watch next.
That’s according to one of the recent Rotten Tomatoes user reviews for the latter, which just debuted on Netflix. And which the streamer explains is largely about a young woman haunted by her past. She subsequently “joins a mysterious professor and his group of gifted students who investigate paranormal activity — and fight demons.”

Cracow Monsters Netflix season one
Check out the trailer below for this new series, especially if you’re a fan of the horror genre.
Along these lines, 2021 was certainly a great year for horror fans, with Netflix debuting one major series and feature film after another along these lines. And 2022 has started off strong as well, with not only series like Cracow Monsters but buzzy theatrical releases. Like A24’s X, which is in theaters now and blends horror and elements of porn into one salacious package.
Cracow Monsters, meanwhile, hasn’t been out for too long. Which is to say, it hasn’t had much time to garner a critical mass of reviews yet. So far, though, it has a 60 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Based on five users reviews, like the most recent which notes:
“Though this series definitely depends on slow build, mystery, and giving the audience a chance to put things together on their own, the suspense and result are quite worth the effort, even for this American who knows nothing about Poland, Polish life, or mythology.”
