Episode 6, two storms, felt like the director was just trying to see how long he could keep a single take going. Acting was very weird during that and sone really dumb dialog going on.

Sometimes it does feel more like a play than a movie. The director definitely likes long shots, especially circling around the actors. I have to pay attention during those in case there's something different I should notice.

I'm on episode 7 and have yet to vomit. See http://www.wsfm.com.au/entertainment/entertainment-news/netflix-show-the-haunting-of-hill-house-is-so-scary-it-s-making-people-sick

Ha! Not sure why people would be vomiting unless they were expecting little house on the prairie.

Side note: I've been plenty scared before and vomiting has never come into the list of possible reactions.

Will someone answer this, please?

I saw a boob in like episode 3 or 4, but it was for less than a second.

Shows nowhere near scary enough for vomiting

Good show but wtf?

On episode 2
And I'm not sleeping now

I finished today. It didn't creep all that much but I enjoyed it.

I was pleasantly surprised. Uses every haunted house / scary movie cliche out there, but all in a very polished way.

I felt like it tried to wrap up way too much of the origin of the haunting in the final episode though... and a lot of "ok, so?" that never really got followed up on -- like the guy working on the clock not being real.

Overall, well worth the binge.

Finished it tonight. I liked the ending. It didn't really explain the clock man except that it was just Steven's first step to acceptance. But it did tie the most important parts together. Good binge for Halloween.

Fantastic show. And the child actors are awesome.

Finished the entire season. Fantastic show. Is it gory? No, but then gore isn't scary it's just gross. It's creepy with some jump-scares every now and then.
And I'm totally fine with the ending. Great acting, good writing, great directing.

And no, no nudity.

It's akin to The Shining - some creepy visual scares, but where it thrives is simply about a family falling apart and you rooting for them to overcome.

What? The clock repair man was just his father's explanation that every single time Steve said that his mom, sisters or Luke were crazy or imaginiing things he was wrong. He spent the entire series believing that everyone else was crazy, because he had never seen a ghost in the house or in all his investigations of tother people's hauntings... or so he thought. It doesn't need any more explanation than that.

I was hoping the caretaker guy would have burned it down at the end.

I got that, but it was such a throw-in character late in the game (Episode 9?) that it seemed very forced. Every other character was seeing "relevant" ghosts (bent-neck-lady, tall man, crazy mom, etc...), but 'ole Steve-O sometimes passed a ghost with a handlebar mustache working on a clock? Spooky.

Wasn't that kinda the point though? Everyone else was affected by the house in a much more serious/troubling way than Steve was, probably the reason he was the one able write a book about it. That's how I interpreted it anyways.

ETA: I thought this show was pretty flippin' fantastic.

I just think it would have been a better reveal had the character actually had some kind of interaction with Steve at some time, or even if in Steve's description of the house had him reference the character multiple times.

Like the treehouse -- I thought that was a good reveal as we'd seen Luke in the treehouse multiple times and it fit the storyline of "when would I have had time to build a treehouse?"

The clock guy could have been any one of a million Ep7/8 toss-in characters -- it just seemed really shoe-horned in after the fact.

But don't get me wrong, I thought the show was great.

We finished in 3 days, it had us pretty captivated. Good show.

I like that it was a nothing character, because it's a huge realization for a character based upon a nothing experience. To each their own.

I'm super impressed with Aaron Rodgers playing the junkie brother. I mean, I know he did the insurance ads, but never thought he'd be a good actor.

I'd be lying if I said I slept good last night after watching this show. I'm such a wuss when it comes to scary movies.

Just finished. I want to go back and watch it again, wife is a no go on second viewing. She was scared ghe whole time. Just 1 jump scene for me. You know which one.

Tell your wife The not scary of the first time through becomes even more not scary the second time.

Thats the problem, she was scared the whole time.

I went back last night and re-watched episode #5 with my husband so he could catch up on the show. I didn't occur to me the first time, but now I'm wondering how much and what the dad knows. When Nell called her dad to tell him that the bent-neck lady was back, did he already know what was to come??

I hope to finish the series this weekend, and I may even rewatch it...now that I know when the jump scares come in!

I don't see how some of you weren't creeped out. Just finished Ep 5 (The Bent Neck Lady), and her dancing through the house and that ending was chilling, especially the "no no no no no!" followed by that scream.

Wife and I just finished #10.

I can't imagine how stoic some of you must be. I was creeped out with goose flesh repeatedly in almost every episode. Four times, my wife and I both screamed out loud. Holy f!

Now to comments...

The filming/direction was superb. I've never seen a show that created more anxiety with such simple camera moves.

Ep 6 was amazing. A long, seemless scene done in one take, with one camera, and every move of the camera matched the dialogue. What a masterpiece scene.

The use of color was fantastic. Watch how it is used from scene to scene to orient the viewer, to past, present or some mix of the two.

We came to care about all the characters, and our feelings changed. I though Steve was a d**k but then came around later. There's a theory about the five kids as representing different aspects of the human experience, but I'll have to think about that some more.

30 minutes removed from watching it, I don't know how I feel about Ep. 10. Not what I expected.

I can't rewatch a show like this but can't imagine how many little things I probably missed. Just hit me that (in Ep 5) her brother kept holding his neck.

Good catch!

Theo and Luke know what happened since Theo touched her in episode 3. I want to watch episode 6 now but it's too late to take on the anxiety.

Oh, and clearly Nell's husband did actually have an aneurism.
