The Haunting of Hill House: Miniseries | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Dahlia Balcazar Bitch Media Most of the best moments from the book make it into the series. Mar 11, 2021 Full Review The Haunting of Hill House: Miniseries | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Chris Stuckmann ChrisStuckmann.com I really thought it was different, and mature. Henry Thomas, great to see him in this show, what a great actor. Rated: A Mar 2, 2019 Full Review The Haunting of Hill House: Miniseries | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Emily St. James Vox The result is deeply creepy but unexpectedly moving, especially in the series' gorgeously paced midsection. Nov 21, 2018 Full Review The Haunting of Hill House: Miniseries | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Zofia Wijaszka Nerdspin 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. Rated: A+ Feb 19, 2024 Full Review The Haunting of Hill House: Miniseries | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Dann Gire Chicago Daily Herald Henry Thomas leads a stellar cast dealing with a malevolent house that apparently loves the color turquoise. Nov 2, 2021 Full Review The Haunting of Hill House: Miniseries | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Robin Holabird Robin Holabird Flanagan's appreciation for the classics in his Haunting projects proves compelling and unsettling.

Tristan C Easily one of the best spooky productions in recent years. Absolutely incredible. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/02/24 Full Review Kevin E SPOILERS alert: Fairly well done but I think some of Flanagan's other work is much betterSPOILERS alert: Well, although I feel they did most of the 2018 Haunting of Hill House series well, I think it was at least two episodes too long, I didn't like how much back and forth between two periods in time there was (a rather extreme amount), plus re-playing handfuls of scenes in a different context. Mike Flanagan's "The Fall of the House of Usher" series was much better and succinct. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review Audience Member A horror masterpiece that sticks with you for a long time. Mike flanagan's Masterpiece that redifined what a good horror show should be. With strong performances and alot of standout moments this is easily the best miniseries ever made. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/23/24 Full Review Thomas B Favorite show of all time. It re-defined the horror show drama with clever transitions between scenes and also transitions between future and present. The acting is phenomenal and every character you will end up actually loving and maybe relating to (horror movies/shows usually end up falling really short of this). 10/10 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/20/24 Full Review Brianna B Near perfect. So good! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/24 Full Review Donato M First of all, the show is extremely vulgar; if you are a Christian, you will be highly offended by the blasphemous use of the Name of Jesus, even by the children. The F... bomb is used by nearly every cast member repeatedly too. Aside from this vulgarity, the story is very tedious. The series did not need ten episodes. Everything drags out slowly, and is unnecessarily repetative. I stopped watching after the fith episode, and good riddance. If you want to watch the original movie, it is superb, minus the vulgarity. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/10/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
