A true crime documentary on Netflix has left viewers so terrified that they cannot sleep. 'House of Secrets: The Burari Deaths', originally released in 2021, continues to captivate audiences with its exploration of one of India's most infamous criminal cases.
The three-episode series transports viewers back to 2018, when the bodies of 11 family members were discovered in their home in Burari, Delhi. The case baffled police due to the savage nature of the deaths and the presence of numerous 'spiritual' handwritten messages.
Carrying an 18 certificate, the documentary examines the devastating case, the nationwide hysteria and media scrutiny, while also delving into the family's background and 'dark secrets' through exclusive interviews. Netflix's synopsis 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 three years old, it continues to horrify global audiences. On IMDB, one viewer described it as 'spine-chilling', while another said it was 'mind-numbing' and 'should be seen and discussed as much as we can'. A Facebook user admitted: 'I didn't sleep for days it was like a nightmare.'
A reviewer from Rotten Tomatoes praised it as 'a really gripping documentary that gets you right at the start', adding that it 'keeps you thinking for a while'. 'House of Secrets: The Burari Deaths' is available to stream on Netflix.
