The Haunting of Hill House

When The Haunting of Hill House was released on Netflix in October 2018, I don’t think anyone was ready for the show’s impact. Well, I guess we had sort of an idea since horror genre genius, Mike Flanagan, was behind the miniseries.

Still, it exceeded all expectations. Critics absolutely loved the show with many praising the acting, directing, and production quality. In addition, viewers applauded the stellar casting, plot twists, unique plot, well-developed characters, and among other things, the show’s pacing.

Loosely based on the 1959 book of the same name by Shirley Jackson, comes a story alternating between two timelines while following a troubled family who works to confront the ghosts of their past, which stems from their old haunted house.

The talented ensemble cast included Michiel Huisman, Carla Gugino, Henry Thomas, Elizabeth Reaser, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Kate Siegel, Victoria Pedretti, and many others.

It served as an anthology series with The Haunting of Hill House being the first entry and The Haunty of Bly Manor being the second. Unfortunately, Flanagan announced that there would be no more entries to The Haunting anthology series.

VERDICT: Watch
