The Haunting of Hill House (Netflix) TV Show • Page 11

There's been a LOT of theories and speculation solely based on the way they all look at each other in the final scene, and I love that.

 

Listened to a podcast about this today got me thinking about it. One thing I note looking back on the earlier episodes is when the siblings (especially Steve and Shirl) are talking about how much of a burden all the others are (especially Luke and Nell), then you get to their respective episodes and see how badly they need their family's support only to get ignored and turned away. Bad feels

 

What podcast was it? I have to travel this week and was looking for a good Hill House podcast.

 

I know I'm late on this but Episode 6 is a fucking work of art

 

I don’t know why but I just can’t get into it. I’ve forced myself to watch 5 episodes but I find myself bored. Which is weird because I usually love stuff like this. Maybe I’m just burned out on shows.

 

I really enjoyed this

 

This woulda been cliche as hell.

 

Sorry I forgot to reply yesterday. It's called Behold An Electric Terror but it's behind a patreon paywall. If you like I can try to download and send it to you

 

Maybe. It wouldn’t even have to be that exactly, I just prefer something a little more ambiguous is all. It really just comes down to personal presence as I don’t feel the current ending is “bad” necessarily, but it’s definitely not what I look for in a horror story.

 

Ending was cheesy feel good bullshit.

 

For me the ending just didn't rly align with how sinister they built up the house to be. I mean there was def great suffering throughout the series so I guess the house was pretty sinister but with how devastating the entire series felt I guess I expected more for an ending. But I'm also glad there wasn't some big cliche battle as the end. Idk what I wanted but I was waiting for something and was just kinda like oh.

 

These are pretty much my thoughts exactly. Definitely didn’t hate the ending and was very glad there wasn’t some big showdown at the end. But it ended and I was like like, huh, okay. Doesn’t really detract from the entirety of the series though, imo. Worth a watch regardless.

 

I'm all for a happy ending it's just this particular one was weird as hell, the way they shunted Shirley Theo and Luke offscreen so Steven could have the big emotional scene with their dad was wack as shit, then they double down on this by giving him a ten minute monologue while Luke and Theo get like 10 seconds of resolution each... did they seriously not know which characters people were invested in the whole time? fuck Steven tbh

 

I think the fact that he was focused on so much throughout the entire things shows that yes, they had no idea who the fan favorites would be.

 

Not really Hill House related but I watched ouija the other day (which had the same director and cast as this show).

It was pretty fun. I kept calling the protagonists Shirley and young Shirley even if they were mother and daughter in the movie and (obviously) had a different name haha.

 

Ty that’s alright!

 

These are p neat

 

Just watched this in 3 days. Loved it. The tension and spookiness was perfect I thought. The first episode was kind of a lot to take in but I don't think you could have handled the jumping around really any better. That car scare was one of the best jump scares ever. The ending definitely wasn't what I expected but I liked it, despite the things that can be questioned. And I want no part of that "they never got out of the red room" scenario lol

 

Halfway through this, and my favorite character has been Nell. Can’t wait to see that actress in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” next year.

 

Interesting, excited for more.

 

Hope they don’t cop out on the ending again.

 

I like this idea a lot. Much better than trying to force the first season into a second season.

 

Is it still going to be called The Haunting of Hill House? I'm all for Shirley Jackson's work getting out there more, but if it's using other writer's work, I think that should be be known.
