Does the haunting of hill house get better?

[IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece]

Because the first episode is absolutely shit...

It gets better then the ending is a bit meh. Worth it to play spot the hidden ghosts in the background though.

I got about 5 episodes in and lost interest

I watched it all, was annoyed at the meh ending..

I watched it all, complete waste of time and doesn't actually really make any sense.

It’s very anticlimactic imo. And not in the least scary, and I’m a wimp.

Watched the first episode and haven't bothered with the rest. Boring and not scary and I'm a complete wimp with horror/ghosts.

Didn't really find it scary. A few moments here and there. A little bit creepy and sad more then anything.

I really liked it! A lot was left unexplained though!

Thank you!

The hype has made it seem like the best thing on tv so maybe I was expecting too much but aside from trying to work out where I’d seen one of the actresses before (Greys Anatomy!) I just couldn’t be bothered with it but though maybe the first episode was shit and the rest amazing!

I think life is too short to be invested in shit tv

Did find slow at first but then couldn't stop watching it. Did like the ending even though was a little meh

I watched 10 minutes earlier and thought - what the actual?

Gave up

Watching Luther now 🤪

No, it gets more vague, badly acted and ridiculous as it goes on. One or two chilling scenes but not worth sitting through it all for them.

I thought it was very slow and then it got ok for a few episodes and then it got shit again. The ending is a bit pants and it does that horror thing of revealing too much of the supposedly scary and therefore making it completely unscary.

In a word NO.

Nope, it made me really angry actually because I invested several evenings in it and so much was left unexplained (also I forget what they were now but seem to recall DH ranting about gaping plot holes). I also felt that the ending got very melodramatic and self-indulgent and most of the characters were quite unpleasant. I was especially disappointed as the original novel (and 1960 version of the film) is fantastic.

However, I did personally enjoy the first episode (and the next four or five) so you might have the opposite experience

The end is shit!

Virtually every female character has long dark hair, so I keep getting totally confused!

I liked it. It isn't scary but it's an interesting take on family dynamics.

Why didn't people like the ending? Trying to avoid spoilers but did you see the real/hidden meaning? Did you take it literally?

It didn’t make that much sense and takes alot of concentration to gather what’s going on but with the selection on netflix i’d say worth watching til the end if you’ve started

I liked it, and the Southern Gothic style, although I found it more sad than scary. I'd be interested in a prequel to see how the house became the way it was and what really happened with the people who lived there before.

The ending did feel a bit anticlimactic because although the issues were sort of resolved for the remaining characters, it left things open

Doh!

The ending left things open for anyone to wander into the house and become a victim. Especially since the oldest brother had written a best selling book about the place! Surely there would be ghost hunters hopping the fence.

I don't think things were resolved at all. I don't think the final scene was everything it appeared to be.

I think they're hoping for a sequel

I got teary at the ending. Think it was the song and one certain moment.

Did keep getting confused to who was who at first. They all look simular

I didnt thjnj it was great tbh. Some good parts but could habe been better.
