Haunting of Hill House
Just watched the first episode on Netflix. Seems really good. Does a great job building tension. Does more with what it doesn't show than from what it does. Sign of good horror. And what it does show you is pretty fucking unnerving.
Been waiting for genuinely good horror series. American Horror Story has never done it for me. It's okay, just never really spooked me or creeped me out. This does a much better job of that. Last edited by Fignuts; 10-14-2018 at 03:25 AM. |

YOU sound like an ABT movie.
Also nah. Terrible CGI kittens aside, show looks like it has a good budget. |

You know what bugs me about these movies or tv shows. What modern family would live in places like these? None.. It's fucking stupid.

It's not their actual home. The husband and wife are renovators, and they are living on site with their kids for the summer while they do the job.

Wow. Just got done with ep3. Great episode. This is a pretty intelligent "horror".
It's like a spooky, "This is Us."...which I don't watch because of the feelz. |

I've tried to watch the first episode 3 times. I can't get through it. I don't get it. I keep hearing this is good so I've kept trying. Someone help.

How scary is this on a scale of "baby shark do do dooo" to "OH GOD MAKE IT STOP WHY GOD WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY"? My son loves scary stuff and I may watch it with him leading up to Halloween but if it's too scary I don't want him to see it.

It's a lot of set up but it does pay off. Once the show hits episode 3 things pickup big time. |

I'd say on a scale of 5 so far I've seen a moment that felt like a 4. But most of it is a family drama. The scares are scary especially if you were a kid who felt you lived in a haunted house. |

I thought the finale was a bit of something and nothing; did not feel like a satisfactory ending. Overall, a good series let down by a poor last episode.

Finally made it past the pilot.
First episode is def the worst as slik said. Kept going back thinking I missed something because so much didn't make sense. Didn't realize that's kinda the show. Little bits here and there going back and forth in various time frames. Not the best way to start a show but I'm into it now. Just finished episode 6 (family at the funeral home) which was amazing, imo. Looking forward to more of the mystery being unraveled. It's horror, so I'm guessing we aren't getting an ending that ties everything up in a neat package but as long as we generally close the door on the family and their story at the end I'm ok with that. We shal see. |

The dumbwaiter scene was the scariest to me.

The siblings are so real. I guess the show took a toll on the actors, I read (not as bad as Heath Ledgar). I think I can relate a little bit with all of them...even Shirley & Steven.

Theo is my girl, though
The actress that plays Nell hasn't been in much but she's going to blow up with offers I was impressed with all the kid performances as well. Possibly a Stranger Things like surge for their young careers. |

Adult Theo is the director's wife. She's good but that's why she's there.

Finally finished it. I enjoyed how it tied everything else we'd seen together and had a surprisingly uplifting finish.
I can't see them making a second season since the story is completely wrapped up. |

It would be great if each season adapted a different novel or short story.

Certainly one of the better shows put out by Netflix. Completed the season in three sittings along with a bottle of bourbon. It felt a bit emotionally draining at times but the characters were very compelling. Reflecting on the final episode a bit more than I should.
