Jade Watkinson (3 KP) rated The Haunting of Hill House- Season 1 in TV

Dec 15, 2018

This had all the wondrous traits of classic, old school horror. Suspense, tension, jump out of your skin moments. This has been beautifully blended with modern technology and a very thoughtful touch. There are some really fantastic subtleties to this. (0 more)

In some parts I did find it quite predictable, however this doesn't distract from the way in which the sometimes obvious story is put across. (0 more)

Scary scary times!

This is worth watching more than once. There are some very easy to miss subtle nods to the 'twists' in the story lurking in the background of several scenes. I do find the overall story predictable but at a peice of television it is dramatic, tense, full of suspense and really harks back to classic horror, but it has the benefit of a modern eye, modern technology and an audience perhaps unfamiliar with the older horror styles, so it packs a real punch.

Will Smith would be proud?

Not going to lie. I only watched this to see Chris Hemsworth. He didn't disappoint. However, it is not even slightly on par with the first 3 Men in Black movies. Will Smith made those films what they are and it was upsetting to not see him there or even see the same quality of film. Some of the characters where great though. Penny? Absolutely adorable and by far the best thing about this movie. The action fight scenes were alright and the ending was adequate but what I hated the most, and what I hate about a lot of movies now is the forced romance. Why did they feel the need to add so much tension between Agent H and Agent M? They were a great team but they don't need to be together to show that...

This is a story of Anna, the owner of a big old house in San Francisco. Her lodger, or her family as she calls them, are primarily LGBTQI +. The story delves into their lives, their troubles and strifes but all in all, the story is brought back to Anna. The back story to Anna's life is great. Anna, it turns out, is a trans woman who has hidden her secret from her lodgers, not because she is ashamed, but because of the way she got the house in the first place. I liked the fact that the story could hold its own and not center too much around Ellen Page, whose character is equal to the others. This is an important Netflix show with an inclusive, well rounded story. I loved it so much.
