Critics Consensus
The Haunting of Hill House is an effective ghost story whose steadily mounting anticipation is just as satisfying as its chilling payoff.
Dahlia Balcazar Bitch Media Most of the best moments from the book make it into the series. Mar 11, 2021 Full Review 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 Emily St. James Vox The result is deeply creepy but unexpectedly moving, especially in the series' gorgeously paced midsection. Nov 21, 2018 Full Review 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 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 Robin Holabird Robin Holabird Flanagan's appreciation for the classics in his Haunting projects proves compelling and unsettling. Oct 15, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
Emily M I loved this mini series. It had some good scares in it, beautiful cinematography. A definitely must watch. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/09/25 Full Review Henry C I thought this series was absolutely fantastic - I’m not a horror fan but I loved this show, probably because it was thought provoking and told a fascinating story. I hope they produce more. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/18/25 Full Review The Dry T I tried, seriously tried, to make it through this entire series. I made it 75% of the way thru before giving up. My daughter recommended this to me. She thinks this director and his girlfriend are the best. I sat through the entirety of Midnight Mass and was left thinking, is that the best you have?? There's only one reason I stuck it out this far: Timothy Hutton! He should be given an Oscar for putting up with these script-readers! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/16/25 Full Review Jacob B How this series can even use the title or call itself an adaptation of Shirley Jackson’s classic novella is a mystery to me. The only thing it has in common with her ghost story is the title, and absolutely nothing else, not even thematically does it attempt to emulate the “source”; it is essentially an original story with a borrowed title. The story that’s dreamed up for this series doesn’t match the quality of Jackson’s tale, but it is none the less quite engrossing, moody and atmospheric and at times quite scary. On the technical side it is incredibly well done with the cinematography and set design being the true stars of the show. Despite a god awful “happy ending” that really dampens a lot of what came before, this is definitely worth a watch on a cold Autumn night….once. Afterwards please go read the book. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/04/25 Full Review Annette B This was the second time I’ve watched this series and there is nothing about it that I don’t love. The storytelling was simply perfect. The emotions—heartache, anger, pain, love, longing, fear—it was all so well written and performed. On a more technical note—I loved that for a horror, the lighting was so well managed and the cinematography was absolutely excellent. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/25 Full Review Richard U Absolutely a must see series if you are a fan of The Mike Flanagan-verse of horror! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/02/25 Full Review Read all reviews
