Hill House

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.

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!

From beginning to end, this show does not get any less interesting. The chapter book format this show is in really does the show justice. It develops the characters and gives the watcher time to understand and care to see what happens to the characters. Every character has a good side and a bad side, they all have very realistic and relatable struggles.

If you are looking for a simple, jumpscare esc show, this is not for you. Not saying this show isn't scary, it definitely is its just not scary in a way you would expect. It psychology scary, every single thing people in this show go through is terrible and you really feel for them, wether they're right or wrong in the situation, you understand where their coming from.

Really well written and acted, with a good story and characters. Thos is everything AHS should have been.

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