The Haunting of Hill House (2018)

Written by Kewl Kat on October 23, 2018

Overall, it's a worthy effort. There are many creepy moments and nifty ghosts. Some episodes are oozing with dread and horror. It's twisty, as all new shows seem to be and the twists are rather satisfying. However, there are moments when things get a little convoluted, a bit nonsensical and far too wordy. Some conversations go on way too long, hammering the point home until you want to punch a ghost right in the face. This happens towards the end and may leave you feeling sorta let down. But then you think back to the great moments and it makes up for the somewhat slow, syrupy, fizzling conclusion. The mansion is fantastic and the acting is quite good. Lots of characters in two versions, present and past, give it a fun vibe. 8/10 stars.
