More than twenty-five years later theyHaving moved into Hill House Hugh and Olivia Crain, alongside their five children, begin to experience increasing paranormal phenomena, resulting in a tragic loss and the family fleeing from the house. More than twenty-five years later they reunite after another tragedy strikes, and they are forced to finally confront the lasting effects Hill House has had on all of them.

The central mystery, which is gradually unveiled as we see events from different characters points of view, is certainly intriguing and at times this show can be genuinely creepy (one scene in particular gave me goosebumps!). The only slight let down was the final couple of scenes, which felt rather at odds with the rest of the show, but it wasn’t enough to spoil my overall enjoyment and this is more than worth a watch for horror fans.… Expand

Mike Flanagan's work is remarkable. He created tension and terror without the most basic cliché of this genre: the jumpscares. The photography is impressive, as is the entire cast.

Despite it's treacherous pace in some parts(the first two episodes and most of the finale) what's there essentially is a horrific tragedy of a traumatized family that made a lethal real estate decision. The scares are delivered with satisfying conviction with familial drama worth just as compelling as the supernatural threat in it's center. Could've been a great show but due to hugely consequential missteps it lands as a well made good scare that aspire for greater philosophical highs than it can fulfill.… Expand

Has tiny little details in the story too and it all adds up to a very satisfying and incredible ending. All the individual characters story's are amazingly written and connect up with each other very well to crate a very good dynamic and all development majorly throughout the series. Its a slow phsycalogical horror thats scarier than anything else I've watched. Its 100x better than bly mannor which I watched before and would still rate at least a 8/9 out of 10 so that can give you an idea of how good this is. Its just an amazing show and blew me awayaway.… Expand

The Haunting of Hill House excels in both horror and drama that deals in grief, trauma, family tension and true, debilitating dread.

First few episodes are slow, but things soon built up and you start learning all the horrifying secrets. I like the fact the series doesn't solely depend on jump scares and is able to create an atmosphere that draws you in and scares you to the core. The story is told using the characters' personal experiences, almost every episode unfolds the perspective of a separate important character, adding bits and pieces to the story. The scenes are intelligently created and demand all your attention (lots happen in the background).

Overall, a truly modern horrifyingly experience which may leave you scarred for a while.… Expand
