I wanted to give it a chance.. And I tried so hard, but there is really not a single thing to take from any of the episodes except keep out, which is a little scary. Episodes 1 and 2 are no doubt the worst followed by episode 5 which is strange and also pointless at best, and 3 is just a slideshow of some common things people tend to dislike!

I have not been a horror fan my entire life cause I'm scared of most stuff. But watching this didn't even get me to flinch (except for obvious jumpscares). It's not scary just mildly unsettling at times. The stars are for the acting and cinematography which were pretty decent.
....dont watch it?

Warning: Spoilers
Generally the episodes are very cliched and poorly written.
The third episode had no plot it felt like that experimental movie that Gabe brought in in that Halloween episode of the office.
The only reason this gets any stars at all is because of the fifth episode because I love Antoni from queer eye.
Has to be blackmail

They're not joking with the title.

Seriously, who authorizes this crap? 3 minute "episodes" from the mind of prepubescents. Take anything you've seen before (no context, no plot, just a scene) & think of it being recreated for the Syfy channel...bad cgi, laughable dialogue, saying wtf to yourself, all that. You've got Don't Watch This.
Really Don't!

This sucks...

I went into this one with zero expectations and somehow I still managed to get disappointed.
The "stories" of each episode are so poorly scrambled together I can't believe anyone thought they were a good idea... The third one was the only one that made me even slightly uncomfortable and that's just because they just threw in every single phobia imaginable without any kind of coherent plot.

Oh no, no no no!

This is some of the poorest, badest horror shorts ever! It is so bad, it's actually sad. You know what, i wanted to review this thing but it is not worth any more of my time. So stick to the title and skip this one.
Don't Watch This

Ignore the 1* reviews...besides its over in a flash

Truth be told this isn't 10/10 tv. It's a fun time killer, though. At this point there are only 5 stories and I got a little bit out of each one. This isn't masters of horror so don't expect that. The "Keep Out" episode was by far the best one and I legit felt a bit of suspense and got shook up for a few minutes. If you need a quick horror fix, check it out by yourself sometime. All quick and to the point.
Not as bad as the comments

I was scrolling across Netflix like lots of us do and happend upon this show. The title interested me so I watched the trailer. It was sort of a silly "old time" themed black and white movie trailer and it explained that these were 5 short horror films. I am always interested in this genre especially if they are homemade or up and coming artists. But after watching the trailer I watched each episode one by one and on episode 3 I came here to see what others where saying about this show and there a lot of 1/10 scores and as I continued watching till the end it wasn't as bad as the scores. Most of the episodes have lack of depth but that's to be expected with a short film. And there was not overlaying plot to tie the episodes together but that is what an anthology series is. Episodes 1,4, and 5 were my favorites. This seems like a show to where each season will be a spirt of horror not too much not too little. Some of the episodes definitely made my skin crawl. Others not so much.
Take The Title At Face Value

Amen!

The title of this Netflix mini-series, Don't Watch This, is at high risk of becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy if one merely looks at how sloppily the horror shorts in this collection have been assembled, without a single theme to bind them. This series is undoubtedly off to a bad start with Season 1, but could still fulfill a larger purpose of becoming a solid platform for short horror films from aspiring filmmakers around the world. Within Season 1, barring Episode 2 and 3, the others have at least a semblance of a plot and are watchable. Watchable, yes... but no one's saying they are worth-watching, because there's nothing here that you haven't seen before.
Short episodes, still a waste of time.
TheTexasChainstoreManager2 November 2018
So ...my qualified guess is that they kidnapped a bunch of car mechanics, put a gun to their heads and forced them to write a horror story in 10 minutes and then direct the episodes and act in them. That's the only reasonable explanation why this show is so god damn awful.
Wasted time

Don't Watch This Is Right
clintstevens30 October 2018
This series may be the first to garner all one stars, and it deserves all of them. Never has there been a series more aptly titled. Why were these episodes made? Why would Netflix show them? The best I can say about this is the length of each story is only minutes long and you can binge them all in less than a half hour. I just don't get the purpose of these. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
Absolute garbage

Not a 10 star film but still it isnt that bad.
andrasddu13 November 2018
Okay so, It's not a 10 star series but it isn't that bad, for killing your time it's perfect and you will enjoy it a little, even though its kinda short. I recommend this if you're bored or you enjoy short horror movies.
Not a total waste of time.
Jessica_termini19 November 2018
Go by what the title says! Don't watch this., waste of time!
terrahughes30 October 2018
Has no point,all episodes have nothing to do with anything at all, let alone with each other! very boring, beyond boring, stupid, and complete waste of time! Pathetic! More interesting to sit and stare at a wall then to watch any of these! 😡😤😞😞
Hard pass
mbbryant20107 November 2018
Clearly don't waste your time to watch that
stephaniecorbellini3 November 2018
Clearly don't waste your time to watch that if you like good horror... with explanations because it's just bad horror with no reasons.
May be some people like that kind of movie but not for me and I prefere people don't watch that... very bad.
