What To Watch Next: The Haunting Of The Hill House!

Published Jun 1, 2021

DISCLAIMER: his is just my opinions and my view and how i felt, i just own my views and nothing more!

The Haunting of Hill House is a modern reimagining of Shirley Jackson's legendary novel of the same name, about five siblings who grew up in the most famous haunted house in America. Now adults, they're reunited by the suicide of their youngest sister.it streamed on Netflix and it is the best non jump-scare horror series there is. It doesn’t feel like anything you’ve really seen before, blending incredibly smart family drama with some of the most terrifying imagery you’ve seen in a very long time.There is no scary ghosts all the time,but the story flows so well that forces you to imagine and your imagination is what scares you!

The scenes are so perfectly composed and the actors!! OH,the actors are the life of this body! They all get you emotionally entangled in thier lives and make you start caring for each of them. This is the HORROR series that will make you CRY!!Ghost stories are inherently grounded in emotions we all feel; they came about as a way to deal with grief and explain the nightmares often associated with it.

 Flanagan(the film maker) and his team keenly understand how painful memories and deep wells of grief can lead to sleepless nights. The horror here never feels cheap, coming from its remarkable setting in the flashbacks and its characters’ emotions in the present day. Everyone has been overwhelmed by emotion in their lives; for the Crains ( the characters), that feeling turns into the supernatural. Most importantly, allowing us to feel for these characters and care about them makes their plight and torment that much more palpable. 

Episode five is one of the most moving things I’ve seen all year not only because it's terrifying but because of the human story it tells. So many horror filmmakers put so much emphasis on the horror elements that they forget the human ones. Flanagan never roll that way!

It also helps that Flanagan has improved as a craftsman with every project, and this one is breathtaking in terms of visual language. The structure alone would have killed most show runners, but Flanagan finds a way to incorporate the past and present into one seamless fabric. It unfolds like one coherent ghost story, placing images from the past in the present—for example, a door will open in Hill House and then someone walks through a matching door in the present. Each episode moves forward while also filling in details from the past, and Flanagan never lets it lag in that structure 

That episode will get a lot of attention, but the craft is there from the very beginning. Just look at how Flanagan places his actors in the frame, often at a distance in Hill House with its huge rooms and daunting ceilings, making the Crains look smaller in this scary world. He gets closer in the present day, pushing into their emotional turmoil. And then there are the horror beats. Something that shouldn’t be there in the background; a shadow in a hall; a door you know you closed that’s now open; a scratching sound in a wall—“The Haunting of Hill House” contains some of the most unforgettable horror imagery in film or television in years. 

The best horror film of the year also happens to be one of the best TV shows of 2018. Don’t miss it.

Thank you for reading!

If you want to spend some quality time,this series is a MUST!! :)
