A new Turkish miniseries has finally clawed its way onto the Netflix charts. This creepshow is another in the long line of works inspired by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and is picking up fans from all across the globe. Creature (originally titled Yaratilan) might be the post-Halloween binge you need this week. Let’s unpack why you want this living nightmare on your screen today.

Netflix synopsis:

“Creature, an epic story that takes place in the final era of the Ottoman Empire, dwells on one of the most fundamental questions of mankind, “death and afterlife”. Ziya, an adventurous, rebellious, thriving, and smart, young medical student has the insatiable desire to become an excellent physician and to find cure for infectious diseases. Ziya’s path crosses with Ihsan, a fellow medical doctor, balancing the fine line between genius and insanity. He is the only person who truly understands Ziya’s ambitions. However, these two estranged, wounded souls will pay the price for the forbidden experiment they were brave enough to conduct. The ancient encryption they have tried to decrypt could let all hell break loose.”
