    i don’t want to hear a peep from you unless you loosely adapt a shirley jackson work to make a commentary on trauma complete with 10000 ghosts per frame and a whole cast of women who go the FUCK off at every second

    Absolutely the best miniseries I have ever seen. Possibly the best miniseries ever made and yes I am absolutely serious. Everything in this was the best choice. The whole thing continuously impressed me, but that ending to episode 5 slapped my ass right across the room. Across the goddamn room. The entirety of episode 6 should and will be examined in film schools from here on. Episode 10 gave me so many intense feelings including some that I usually don’t willingly embrace but did so completely because I was so invested in everything happening onscreen. Mike Flanagan, you can just go ahead and have a sat down at the table with the rest of the horror legends because you have earned that shit.

    Absolutely outstanding. Top-tier television. Hereditary for people who’ve been to therapy. A beautiful exploration of grief and regret and trauma both original and generational. Ghosts as a metaphor for all these things feels like such an obvious decision, but Flanagan really weaves it together in a way that makes it all fall together like the most satisfying puzzle. Made me feel like I really want to watch everything he’s done so far. A big congratulations to Red Giant on this season-long advertisement for the Magic Bullet Mojo plug-in! EDIT: a big thank you to my friend celia who showed me this series and watched it with me. please go comment “good recommendation, celia. i hope you hit 1000 followers” on…

    ev insanın kendisidir. kendi konforunun tuzağına düşen aslında kırmızı oda değil; kişinin, o bedenin ta kendidir. hayaletler geçmiştir. kimse aşina olmadığı şeyin hayaletiyle karşılaşmaz. hayaletin adı da tanımlanamayacak kadar ürkütücü gelir. hayaletler geçmişin geri dönüşüdür. geçmiş hiçbir zaman kaybolmaz. farklı anlarda farklı biçimlerde hep peşindedir. hayaletlerin seni bırakmaz. illa uyurken uykundan uyandırması da gerekmez. uyutmaması yeterlidir. hep geri döner. bitti derken yeniden başlar. travmalar döngüdedir. hayaletlerin yok olamadığı gibi. nell. hayaletleri yok edemediğin için hayaletten kaçmak gibi. geçmişini kendine yediremeyip…

    “I thought for so long that time was like a line, that our moments were laid out like dominoes… But I was wrong. It’s not like that at all. Our moments fall around us like rain. Or snow. Or confetti.” “I loved you completely. And you loved me the same. That’s all. The rest is confetti.” “Our ghosts are our secrets. They are our guilt and our regrets.“ Genuinely my favourite show ever, if you haven’t watched highly recommend. Makes you scared happy and cry all at once, every little thing is thought out Having each of the children represent a stage of grief…chefs kiss

    Got me thinking about my family a lot. Multiple episodes rank as some of the best television of all time for me. (Luke, Nellie, Olivia, Two Storms) I think I’m a Mike Flanagan believer.

    Perili ev gibi bir klişe ancak bu akdar etkileyici anlatılabilirdi. İzlerken sürekli Arkaplanda bir şeyler göreceğim diyerek detayları incelemeye çalıştım ve bir şey görmesem de bunun beklentisinde olmak bile gericiydi. Red room’a ve evin estetiğine bayıldım gerçekten. Son bölümlerde “ürkütücü hikaye anlatma seansları” biraz baydı ama overall harikaydı

    Impeccably written piece of television. Devastatingly sad and almost unbearably heavy, this series only gets better on the second watch when all of the countless little details fall into their place. “The Haunting of Hill House” is one of the greatest horror achivements ever, yet the real horror of it all is just the pain (and joy) of being human and alive.

    I feel I rewatch Hill House, Bly Manor, and Midnight Mass at least once a year at this point. I have a lot of love for these shows. I think what sets Mike Flanagan’s work apart for me is how meticulous, rhythmic, and deliberate every monologue and conversation is. I feel that the choices he makes there show a deep appreciation for language that I really respect and enjoy. I also appreciate that he honors Shirley Jackson’s prose while also…

    “Fear. Fear is the relinquishment of logic, the willing relinquishing of reasonable patterns. But so, it seems, is love. Love is the relinquishment of logic. The willing relinquishing of reasonable patterns. We yield to it or we fight it but we cannot meet it halfway. Without it, we cannot continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality. Hill House, not sane, stands against its hills holding darkness within. It has stood for a hundred years and might…

    holy shit. this is one of the GREATEST shows i’ve ever watched. i truly don’t say that lightly. the horror…the suspense…perfect. however..didn’t expect to be hit in the fucking heart from the last episode. grief and trauma sure does do a number on your brain and this show does a great job at depicting that. ESPECIALLY when you share that trauma with your siblings; they all remember things differently or not at all.

    Took me an episode or two to get properly invested but when I was it had me very locked in for the rest of the show. Mike Flanagan is easily one of the best directors working right now not only for the quality of the things he produces but because of his work rate. Dude’s a machine, and The Haunting of Hill House could be one of his best. It’s shot ingeniously with hundreds of subtle visual clues but also…

    The lack of communication really gets to your nerves at one point, I don’t know why they keep it secret when they’re well aware that everyone is going through the same shit. It started off good but they dragged it on for so long towards the end and got really boring by the funeral scenes and the inserts weren’t even as eerie. The reveals were nice at the very least, especially the bent-neck-lady but god there were so many perspectives,…
