Reseñas de la Crítica

“With his gritty brogue, narrator Ralph Ineson welcomes listeners to an icy summit where a plane has just crashed.… Ineson's delivery is punctuated by an unnerving soundtrack and realistic sound effects that bring the urgency of the scenario to life. Though she has less of a presence in this six-part serial, narrator Nina Yndis delivers a powerhouse performance that falls perfectly in line with del Toro's unsettling narrative landscape. Together, the narrators' inspired delivery creates an almost cinematic experience that never ceases to entertain.” —AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award Winner

The atmosphere was perfect.

Pure emotional and visceral horror like only Del Torro can create. No one does vampire lore as well as these two creatives.

atmosphere

very dreary and atmospheric. good narration. pulls you in pretty decently. very good story till the end, just a little sad

engrossijg

I hung on to every word and the narration was amazing, it reminded me of the disco elysium narrator

Not for everyone

I should have listened to other reviews about the narrator, while for some I can definitely see his voice enhancing the story for myself not at all his thick accent and gravel to his voice mixed with at times clearly a good amount of phlegm made it very difficult to understand and follow the story.

With that said what I could gleam of the story it's an interesting take on the vampire story that I will have to get a physical version of to fully appreciate.

Did Frankenstein's Monster narrate this?

The narration is deep and gravely and hard to understand at times. Otherwise the story itself was entertaining.
