What to Know

Critics Consensus

It may not be as scary as its predecessor, but with plenty of spooky tricks inside its haunted halls and a strong sense of heart, The Haunting of Bly Manor is another solid entry into Mike Flanagan's growing horrorography.

Flanagan has brought a literary classic to life for an entire new audience with a vision uniquely his own. Go to Full Review John Doyle Globe and Mail 10/19/2020
There is a lot of explanatory talk, taking away the subtlety of Henry James's stories. Still, if a distracting, longwinded spooky story is what entertains you now, you've got that, right here. Go to Full Review Valerie Anne Autostraddle 10/19/2020
The season does what Mike Flannagan and his team does best: takes a ghost story and seamlessly weaves a love story into it. Go to Full Review David Day Horror Movie Talk Sep 18

Mike Flanagan flawlessly mixes the psychological horror and haunted house genres to develop a show that takes its time for a slow-burn fright that definitely hits. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Zofia Wijaszka AwardsWatch 02/11/2022

The Haunting of Bly Manor is, as Flora would say, perfectly splendid. Its not a ghost story, but, unambiguously, a terrifying love story. Its also a tale about grief and mourning that we have for the loved ones that pass. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Nicky A Nov 20 An absolute masterpiece, again!!! I don't know what Flanagan puts in his movies or series but he is GREAT at it! Cried my eyes out and I was scared as hell all the time, but it was so beautiful. Absolutely loved it. Became one of my comfort series (along with his Midnight Mass and Haunting of Hill House)! See more Some G. @someramdomguy Oct 8 Hauntingly atmospheric. I think the biggest flaw was calling it “the haunting of” bly manor. I think it gave a lot of people the expectation that it would be like hill house, despite making it clear that it was an anthology. It’s not a chill you to the bone and make you jump out of your chair type of horror, it’s a gothic tale of tragic romance and obsession. All with a supernatural flair that keeps you wondering what’s really lurking through the corridors of Bly. See more Tiffani W Oct 3 Haunting of Bly Manor was a good story. I wouldn't say it's scary because it's not, it's more so a gothic love story about love and loss and grief. To me, there were no true villains in the show, everyone was complicated. Peter was a victim of his circumstances and truly loved Rebecca. That love and desperation made him do bad things. Viola wasn't a monster nor was her sister, they loved each other but Viola grew sick and she didn't want to let go, her sister was tired of the abuse she got at the hands of her sick sister then even in death, Viola could not move on. It's all just tragic and sad. However, it was a good story. I wish we found out what happened to the ghost once they were set free on Bly Manor. See more Emily M Apr 13 I love this mini series. It has some good scares and emotional story line. I enjoyed watching it and seeing all the twists and turns. See more Henry C Mar 18 I enjoyed this and would recommend it to anyone who enjoyed Hill House - but unfortunately it doesn’t quite manage to replicate the intrigue that Hill House produced. See more Darragh W 12/29/2024 The haunting of hill house was absolutely brilliant this was a massive letdown See more Read all reviews
