This modern reimagining of the Shirley Jackson novel follows siblings who, as children, grew up in what would go on to become the most famous haunted house in the country.. Now adults, they are forced back together in the face of tragedy and must finally confront the ghosts of their past. Some of those ghosts still lurk in their minds, while others may actually be stalking the shadows of Hill House. The ensemble cast includes Oscar winner Timothy Hutton, Carla Gugino and Henry Thomas. Mike Flanagan, a veteran of the horror genre, created the series.

Critics Consensus

The Haunting of Hill House is an effective ghost story whose steadily mounting anticipation is just as satisfying as its chilling payoff.

I really thought it was different, and mature. Henry Thomas, great to see him in this show, what a great actor.

The result is deeply creepy but unexpectedly moving, especially in the series' gorgeously paced midsection.

While bestowing upon us a story about the Crain family, [Flanagan] also touches upon the matters of grief, addiction, and healing; all in the horror setting.

Henry Thomas leads a stellar cast dealing with a malevolent house that apparently loves the color turquoise.

Absolute masterpiece!!! From the background ghosts, to the incredibly well thought out plot, jumping between the past and present, the drama, episode 6, the twist I never saw coming! Just all of it, is so spectacular. I wish I could watch it for the first time again!

I usually don’t like horror but I was surprised to being so enticed to watch every episode. I just finishing binging and I was motivated to keep watching the Crain family. I really enjoyed the plot. The actors who okayed the Crain family were believable and I understood the reasonings for their actions. The cinematic direction was great. A lot of it was in the dark. The climax and ending were predictable but the jump scares and deaths were great to see, Carla’s performance is something I will remember for a while. She made much an impact as Nellie I think she’s ones of my favorite actresses of this time. The story isn’t in chronological order; I was trying to watch in pieces but that wasn’t possible lol. There were certain times where I wish a scene would continue, like Steven trying to see his clients dead husband from the ceiling the way that the the man’s wife had experienced him a few nights before. But overall great watch best horror series I’ve ever seen.

This series was AMAZING. Horror at its finest- not gore and violence but a constant tension of “what is going to happen next” with great characters, pacing, and flipping between past and present. Absolutely amazing - see it twice to pick up one foreshadowing you didn’t even realize you missed the first time. Worth every second
