The premise
In the small bordertown of Villefranche, lost in the heart of a large forest, crime rate is six times higher than elsewhere in the area. Each new crime Major Laurène Weiss solves with the help of her unusual team makes her sink deeper and deeper into secrets of the area.
Horror Vault's take
Nestled deep within a forbidding Ardennes forest, the remote town of Villefranche harbors a murder rate that defies all rational explanation. Major Laurène Weiss leads a fractured local police team through a relentless string of cases, each one pulling her closer to something dark lurking at the heart of the region. The forest itself seems to breathe malice, and the closer Weiss gets to answers, the more the town's layered secrets threaten to consume her. Part procedural, part folklore nightmare, Black Spot is a French-Belgian series that uses crime as a doorway into something far more primal.
