While Dan is only viewing Melody’s story through her camera and perspective, for example, audiences are privy to much of the 1994 story from a more accessible third-party standpoint.

So I’m immensely grateful that Archive 81’s storyline brilliantly incorporates its old-school video footage into a two-timeline story that doesn’t need to wholly rely on using the grainy visuals. (Image credit: Netflix) Archive 81 Gives Found Footage A Much-Needed Remodelĭespite being someone who loves the unique joys that the found-footage genre can deliver, I can only take so many low-budget retreads before my brain wants to turn itself inside-out. And here are four reasons why everyone should take this binge-worthy dive to make such a discovery. Does that mean it’s absolutely 100% one of the best shows out there? Since beauty is in the eye of the beholder, that answer is up to you to discover, dear viewer.
Speaking about Archive 81 in a completely spoiler-free manner is not the simplest of tasks, but it would be a lot more difficult to refrain from talking about the show altogether, as I can already tell this will be one of my favorite new series of 2022, horror or otherwise. It’s definitely horror at its core, but with some science fiction threaded in at the seams.
To be expected, the building and some of its inhabitants have very intriguing histories, as does Athie’s archivist Dan, and the more layers that are peeled back, the more Dan starts to believe he can buck the rules of time in order to save Melody from a cursed fate.
It involves a batch of damaged videotapes that were recorded in 1994 by a woman named Melody ( Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan star Dina Shihabi), who became invested in documenting the goings-on within a strange apartment complex called the Visser Building. The mystery-driven series stars Mamoudou Athie ( Black Box) as a film archivist who opts in on a lucrative project for a secretive businessman played by Martin Donovan ( Big Little Lies).
