'Stranger Things' Season 4: First 8 minutes leaves fans with 'goosebumps and mixed emotions'

'The first 8 minutes of Stranger Things 4 is on YouTube and all I gotta say is what is going on is this a horror movie,' one of the tweets read

Netflix gave something for fans to talk about by releasing the first eight minutes of 'Stranger Things' Season 4 on Youtube. The response was all reactions to how the season opener was and needless to say, fans were shocked at the horror and gore it gave a taste. From scattering dead children across the screen to highlighting Eleven's (Millie Bobbie Brown) raw abilities. The episode also gave a look at the life of Matthew Modine's Dr Brenner who was eventually portrayed as the key antagonist.

The snippet also gave a look at Eleven's predecessor, Ten, who had the abilities of a psychic. The fans however focussed more on Brenner and the horror that was on full display. Here's a quick read of the official synopsis before jumping into the reactions on social media: "It’s been six months since the Battle of Starcourt, which brought terror and destruction to Hawkins. Struggling with the aftermath, our group of friends is separated for the first time – and navigating the complexities of high school hasn't made things any easier. In this most vulnerable time, a new and horrifying supernatural threat surfaces, presenting a gruesome mystery that, if solved, might finally put an end to the horrors of theUpside Down."

But I'm ready for a deeper & longer dive into what's really going on in that universe."

"How is it possible, in a mere 8 minutes, that you now question what you thought of someone, were you wrong all this time, are they really kinder than you imagined?
