Beautiful and terrifying
I've just watched the first episode of the Haunting of Hill House and I'm amazed that something that atmospheric and deeply scary gets even made today. No idea where the bad reviews come from, but if you want Saw or some such other rubbish then this not for you. I love it.
Potential
Ok - so 3 bad reviews so far. I'm going to go the opposite and say I really enjoyed it.
It's seems people want all action these days, what this programme is doing is taking its time to build story and atmosphere.
I feel the comments on the kids acting is pretty harsh as most of them had very little to do in this episode.
The scares were good and really enjoyed the last couple of minutes. If it keeps this up it will be a great series.

10 plus!
One of the best productions from Netflix! Well written characters, creepy story and you invest in what happens to them. Enjoyed every episode!
The Beginning of Something Brilliant
When I originally started this show on it's premire date nearly 2 years ago, I was blown away by the smart writing, fantastic acting, and compelling set direction. Little did I know, however, that this show wasn't just well made, but a piece of truly brilliant work that will forever stand the test of time. It's simply brilliant, and to avoid spoilers I won't get into specifics, but for the very least I will say this show is so we'll thought out even at it's beginning, that it is quite impressive to watch unfold. I praise Mike Flannigan for his work on this show, and can't wait for more things to come from him in the future. Thank you for such a brilliant piece of art.
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Olivia interrupts Steven and Mrs. Dudley's conversation, a face can be seen behind her as she moves through the door frame. It is gone when she turns to leave after inquiring about Luke.
- GoofsSteven tells Irene he doesn't like the word "supernatural", but prefers the term "preternatural", explaining that it denotes "something we don't yet understand". In actuality, the two words are synonyms. "Preternatural" is now considered an archaic term for "supernatural".
- Quotes
Steven Crain: I've seen a lot of ghosts. Just not the way you think. A ghost can be a lot of things. A memory, a daydream, a secret. Grief, anger, guilt. But, in my experience, most times they're just what we want to see. Most times, a ghost is a wish.
- Alternate versionsThe DVD and Blu-ray releases feature new and extended scenes:
- The Crain parents talk about having a hard time sleeping in the new house - they say it's too quiet, but then start to hear the house making sounds, which they blame on the pipes.
- More details are added to the story the woman tells to Steven about the ghost of her husband visiting her at night.
- Mrs. Dudley tells a young Steven in the kitchen, "In the night, in the dark."
- Steven sees a car wreck while driving. His publisher calls him and asks him how the meeting went with the woman who says her husband visited her at night. He tells his publisher, but his publisher says Steven doesn't sound too enthusiastic. Steven then pitched an idea about haunted highways. As the two discuss what will sell, his publisher suggests that he write a sequel to "The Haunting of Hill House," which visibly irritates Steven.
