The Haunting of Hill House

After finishing the Haunting of Bly Manor, I moved on to the first of this series, The Haunting of Hill House. It was admittedly scarier than Bly Manor, and I found it to be shot better. The characters were a little less appealing than Bly Manor, and at times, actually quite annoying and unpleasant. It was almost as if everyone in the show was an antagonist and they didn't seem to have many redeemable or lovable qualities each, which I find is pretty common in the horror genre.
The Plot was nice, if a bit too jumpy sometimes, but if you find it easy to follow fast-paced series with heavy flashbacks it was enjoyable to follow. I think I liked it more, just because the ending didn't feel as forced and it had a bit more of an interesting flow when it came to telling the story and showing us the conflicts and archs.

It has a bit of a slow start, but as you go through the seasons you see clear character development, interesting arcs, and the writers being allowed to be more mature with the content we were seeing without it being edgy or unpleasant. Some shots are so beautiful, and the way it's animated sets the mood completely. There's goofy frames that use animation to stretch the character's limits and get laughs, and there's times where you feel very calm because they're using soft visuals to enhance the serenity of the shot. It's a show I've been left feeling empty after finishing it, becaus...
