What's great is that horror becomes more common here now. There are more writers and filmmakers doing it. It was often said you can't do horror in the Netherlands. But they said the same in Italy before horrorfilms started at the end of the fifties, that's why Italian horror directors took English sounding names as an alias.
The truth is: you can set horror anywhere. Any place or any country. It doesn't matter, it can work everywhere.
I watched Ares in one go. Of course the episodes are very short, which helped going through it quickly. I thought it was very stylish looking. I was only a bit underwhelmed by the ending and it's too bad it isn't clear whether more is coming, or that it is the very ending. It doesn't seem there is a whole lot where you can go with the main character now, as she seemed transformed totally.
I had a feeling it's one of those cases where the makers are very good at keeping it going, but are not totally sure where they want it to go to. It doesn't all add up to a satisfying climax at the end where the pieces fall together nicely.
But overall I liked it very much and it's great it's got this reputation of being too scary to watch.
