The Haunting of Hill House (Netflix)

Ended up watching 9 of these yesterday due to being a lazy ****

Pretty much tells each persons stories per each episode plus a few side ones, but if you don't enjoy it after 2 eps, you won't enjoy it any further as it's pretty much the same all the way through. Even EP 9 was pretty much like the others, but I'm hoping that it's all been built up for the final episode or I am going to be rather ****** off!

I'm liking this. Watched episode 5 last night.

The bit where the kid saw the tall, floating, bowler hat seeking ghost was a bit freaky!

Upto eps 6 here and I am barely holding on thanks to this episode. It is somewhat interesting finding out about the characters and their past but ffs I wish we could learn more about the damn house for once. This has to be the slowest show I've ever seen. This hasn't a chance of a season 2, if that is the ultimate goal that is.

Watched all 10 episodes of this over the Weekend. Absolutely incredible and a perfect ending, sad for it to stop.

Watching it in the dark is a must. No daylight watching!!!!

Half way into it and really enjoying it.

On episode 6 now. Loving the long uncut scenes.

Anyone else notice the statue in the hall when they where looking for young Nell? When the mum exited the bedroom with the broken window, it was looking the opposite way than when she went in.... 41 minutes in if you want to look.

This is the best TV horror for ages.

I've just finished the one where most of it is set in the funeral home. Slow, but brilliant acting, intriguing and terrifying in places

Just got to episode 4,yet to watch it but liking it, its slowly picking up pace too.

Simmz · 16 Oct 2018 at 10:24

Ending was a bit meh, still wanted more about the house itself.

Excellent, very unnerving generally with some effective jump scares. One moment in Ep9 made me scream out loud.

The bit in the car with Shirley and Theo

Wasn't impressed by the last episode / ending but overall great TV.

Has anyone noticed quite a few subtle Easter egg scares, such as statues whose heads are facing a different direction from one scene to the next and out of focus faces in the background?

Kainz · 16 Oct 2018 at 23:15

Finally forced myself to watch the final two episodes. Not too keen with the way it ended overall.

Watched episode 6 last night and even with it being a slow episode those 15 minute long takes were impressive to say the least, last show I remember doing that was BTS but there's only lasted 5 minutes.

I've not seen or heard anything of this before now, Its going on the watch list! Looks good.

It's between this and Sharp Objects for my show of the year so far. I'd heard people saying they were disappointed at the ending, but i certainly wasn't. It was perfect. I hope we see more from this creative team.

Season 2 of Patriot will be coming in November so it's going to be a three way race to see which is best by years end.

Aaaaaaaaaand finished.. I can't quite wrap my head around the last episode and come to a conclusion or theory as to what was going on and why.

Definitely not what I was expected so while it was meticulously crafted and well written and acted AND I was gripped to keep watching, I'm still underwhelmed.

Mark1989 · 18 Oct 2018 at 09:35

Just have finale to watch tonight, enjoyed episode 9, can't wait to watch last one to see how it's wrapped up

There are hidden figures in every episode, 4 in the first one, It's quite fun trying to find them, and creepy when you do.

Really enjoying this series so far, only watched the first 3 so far, Mrs Insane wont watch it at all as she hates ghost stuff.

Glanza · 18 Oct 2018 at 11:55

Here's a link with all the hidden ghosts as pictures with descriptions if you can't see them split over 3 pages:

I've only looked at the first two pages as I'm upto episode 7 and don't want to spoil ones I haven't seen yet.

Show needs every emmy possible
