The Haunting of Hill House

Really well written and acted, with a good story and characters. Thos is everything AHS should have been.

I DESPERATELY want a story about Hill House's past to see Poppy's entire story

Everything about this show was excellent in concept and execution. Writing, casting, acting, directing, cinematography ect... were great. A true tour de force of visual media. The show contains such sensible and intellectual ideas about grief and family that makes it so hopeful in the end, despite being gut-wrenching and terrifying. Although this is supernatural horror, it is well grounded in reality, even more than some "realistic" horror films.

I have re-watched this show about 4 times, and I will be watching it many more times in the future. I can't recommend "The Haunting of Hill House" enough.

From beginning to end, this show does not get any less interesting. The chapter book format this show is in really does the show justice. It develops the characters and gives the watcher time to understand and care to see what happens to the characters. Every character has a good side and a bad side, they all have very realistic and relatable struggles.

If you are looking for a simple, jumpscare esc show, this is not for you. Not saying this show isn't scary, it definitely is its just not scary in a way you would expect. It psychology scary, every single thing people in this show go through is terrible and you really feel for them, wether they're right or wrong in the situation, you understand where their coming from.

Monologues for days. Just so, so many "poignant" monologues. So, so many self-reflective, melodramatic monologues. Long speeches aside, the production value is great. The child actors are fantastic. The story is intriguing, though it tends to only creep along. Quite good, but not perfect, as it's high rating suggests.
