The Haunting of Hill House

I've only started on episode 2, although I'm hooked and freaked right out! The performances from the adults and the younger versions of the adults are very convincing and ropes you into a family that has been screwed over by terror and your along for the ride with them! Enjoy I am

I haven't written a review before but I thought that this show deserved it. I went into The Haunting of Hill House blindly (as one should) and wow did it blow my mind. This show is filled with effective scares and fast paced moments, but also slow, drawn out scenes that will leave you with goosebumps. I found it hard not to just binge the entire thing in one sitting! Hill House brought out fears from my childhood that I forgot I had. Both the casting and the acting were astounding and I don't think they could've been any better. Especially the child actors were incredibly believable. There were a few moments that I believe will stick with me forever. I had to take a few breaks simply to process! Overall I can confidently say that The Haunting of Hill House is the most well done and effective horror show that I've ever seen. I most definitely will be watching all of Flanagan's other works after this masterpiece!

The Haunting of Hill House is HANDS DOWN the best horror series I've ever seen. It's a meditation on death, grief and trauma. It is equal parts scary and engaging. The best character development I've seen in a long time and a huge leap forward for horror. We need more horror like this. It has disturbed me and moved me. It's portrayal of the supernatural as more of a human experience and less of a "poltergeist" type is revolutionary. It, to me, makes more sense to believe in ghosts than I ever thought was possible

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

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.
