Haunting of Hill House


Pejorative Miscreant

Recommended Posts

No spoilers in this post:

I’ve binged to Ep6 so far. Acting is great, directing is top notch, camera work is amazing.  I was afraid the horror thing was going to get played out, but so far it hasn’t.

Each episode basically develops each family member, which is great for getting us invested in the story. Ep1 was probably the scariest, but the each episode is creepy. 

This show is essentially what I hope American Hotror story was supposed to be. I had no idea there was a book.

Just watched it over the weekend. As far as scary shows go, it was good. Some great editing and jump scares that didn't feel cheap. They deviated wildly from the original book, but I liked what they did. It felt a lot like a mixture of the Shining, IT, and AHS season one, which were all inspired by the original in some way. 

Young Hugh has to be the worst spouse in the world. Totally in denial and falling down on the job of being a dad. Also, who in the fuc k were they going to flip that house for?! No matter how much you spruced it up, it was still creepy as hell. No one was going to buy that house, so the idea that they were going to flip it was a really weak premise in my opinion.

So about that ending....

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’d like to rewatch the series to see how it all connects but first impression is the ending sorta feels like a cop out. Like, the ghosts are all of a sudden happily ever after? What about all that fugged up poo we just witnesssd for nine episodes? It just doesn’t vibe right to have such a heart warming ending imo. Appparently the original plan was for the end to show all the children together and happy outside of the house, only for the camera to reveal the “red room” window, meaning they are still in that room in some sense. But the writer/director decided the night before filming that he liked these characters too much to put them through that hell.

I think that would have been an interesting open-ended ending and more fitting to the series as a whole. Oh well, it wasn’t a terrible ending. It’ll be interesting to see if the next season is based on an entirely new house and characters.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
