Netflix fans 'haunted' after watching 'spine chilling' true crime documentary

A chilling true crime documentary has left Netflix viewers so terrified they're struggling to sleep as it explores a shocking case.

House of Secrets: The Burari Deaths is currently streaming on the platform, but countless fans remain "still haunted" by the three-part series.

Originally launched in 2021, the documentary series transports audiences back to 2018 and one of India's most infamous cases.

During that period, 11 family members were discovered dead in their residence, triggering a massive police inquiry.

Reports at the time suggested their gruesome deaths left police officers completely baffled by the horrific manner in which their bodies were discovered, alongside numerous "spiritual" handwritten messages, reports the Mirror.

The disturbing documentary, carrying an 18 certificate, examines the chilling case, the nationwide hysteria and media scrutiny, whilst also providing a comprehensive look into the family's background and "dark secrets", featuring exclusive interviews.

Netflix hints: "Suicide, murder - or something else? This documentary series examines chilling truths and theories around the deaths of 11 members of a Delhi family."

Despite being released back in 2021, it continues to horrify viewers globally, exploring a massive case that shook the entire country. The episodes even carry a warning at the beginning stating "viewer discretion is advised."

On IMDB, one viewer described it as "spine-chilling", commenting: "It's a 3-episode mind-numbing documentary that should be seen and discussed as much as we can."

One viewer remarked: "A truly disturbing true crime story of the deaths of an entire family. The documentary was well made and interviewed the relevant parties. Though the last episode focused heavily on psychology and speculation, the first two episodes were utterly captivating."

Another agreed: "This had me hooked within the first 20 minutes. I can't believe this is a true story - so very sad and mind boggling."

Earlier this month, a member of the Netflix Bangers group on Facebook confessed they "felt so disturbed", with another responding: "I didn't sleep for days it was like a nightmare." A third added: "I lost sleep over this it still haunts me.."

A critic from Rotten Tomatoes praised: "A really gripping documentary that gets you right at the start. For a fan of true crime/occult/paranormal - this may just be one of the best case presentations to exist.

"It keeps you thinking for a while. The production is high-quality which is just another plus to an already gripping case."
