The Clearing, a new Hulu series, is described as 'hair-raising', 'bloodcurdling,' and 'downright dreadful'. The show explores the chilling depiction of ruthless cult tactics and takes inspiration from real-life cults in Australia and the US.
This new Hulu series featuring pale children dressed like Veruca Salt in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and wearing Sia wigs may seem sweet enough. But The Daily Beast has used the words 'hair-raising', 'bloodcurdling,' and 'downright dreadful' alongside a review of The Clearing . You'll have to get through the apparently 'truly disturbing' premiere episode ’s opening scene before delving into the show’s thematic density and its chilling depiction of ruthless cult tactics .
Sounds like a fun time. The story begins with a young girl named Sarah (Lily LaTorre) who is kidnapped from an Australian back road on the way home from school, after being lured into danger by another girl, Amy (Julia Savage). Sarah is renamed Asha and given a new mother, Adrienne (Miranda Otto), (and hairstyle) who leads a cult called The Kindred. The Australian series is said to take from other similar cults in recent Australian history, with its practices eerily reminiscent of modern American iterations, like NXIVM, too
