The Haunting of Hill House (Netflix) TV Show • Page 14

Have there been any reviews of the new season?

 

The Haunting of Bly Manor: Miniseries

 

Sounds like more of a gothic romance than horror, which is fine by me.

 

Got to see this early. It's decent. Some good performances by the main cast and a solid love story. It's rarely scary and delves into "Lost"-type territory that I think it struggles with in the back of the show. Not as memorable as "Hill House," but it's fine for what it is.

 

Finished Hill House. I love that it was storytelling first and foremost and scares were sprinkled in.

 

Excited to start the new season.

 

Starting the new season tonight with my bandmates. It’s gonna get spooky!

 

Waiting for it to be dark to start watching lol.

 

Lol mark from The Room is in this what the hell

 

Stopped at episode 5 for tonight, which was stunning. Really loving this so far, will probably finish up the rest tomorrow.

 

At episode 5. Great so far, really beautiful gothic romance/mystery. Definitely not what I was expecting, and a little disappointed it hasn't been scary/that creepy, but a great experience thus far.

 

why in the fuck did they cast Carla as the narrator and then make her do that terrible accent all throughout lmao

 

probably bc she’s friends with flanagan, couldn’t commit to a lead role, but still wanted to be involved? doesn’t seem that complicated haha

 

you misunderstand, it's not her role I have a problem with, it's the accent she's doing lmao

 

no i get it haha. i’m sure it isn’t natural for her, but she wanted a part/he wanted her to have one and it was the only one that fit.

i can’t imagine another part this season she could have played

 

Whenever the father is on screen, this is all I can think about.

 

I’m iffy on a bunch of accents in this season...

 

Just finished this and fuck if I didn't love that ending.

 

Is this related to the other series? Or it’s own thing, like AHS?

 

Own thing. It's a take on The Turn of the Screw.

I am 4 episodes in and I like what's been established thus far. Was waiting for it to get heavy and it certainly did!

 

Loving the first episode of Bly so far. I didn’t realize it was an adaptation of TOTS until the interview scene. If y’all liked this, I highly recommend the film The Innocents, which is the defining film version to TOTS in my humble opinion. It’s a shining example of black and white cinematography and Deborah Kerr is incredible as the nanny.

 

I’m not sure I’m fully on board with what episode 8 is doing. It’s ambitious, and usually I’m all in on any show doing a risky/experimental episode, but this one is...sort of boring unfortunately.

 

TOTS one of my favorite novels ever. so glad I read it in school. had a dope teacher that was obsessed with southern gothic lit and made us read a bunch of A+ shit

 

Can there be a different thread for that show? I like this show and don’t want that one spoiled here.

 

I’m not sure how I feel about it as the final episode of a horror series but on its own the last episode hit me real hard
