“We tend to binge three episodes at a time”
Fools. I watched the whole thing in one sitting.
RSStarfire looool, same
Me too lol
I missed a day of college because I stayed up all night watching it
RSStarfire no joke, same
Saaameee
abigail actually being real is the definition of plot twist
so is the bent neck lady revelation
That part bothered me because the entire series, everyone was telling Luke she wasn't real. They definitely would have seen her if she came for a sleepover.
@@endernc1405 the night she came for a sleepover Olivia did see her. She took her too the red room remember? Before then she'd never been in the house
jasmyn olsen no, her being clara’s kid was the plot twist!
deadass I screamed and paused the episode. I almost cried and felt so bad not realizing she was real until she died.
But someone has to say it. The kid who plays Luke is the cutest thing I’ve EVER seen 🥺
Forever a Loser the adult who plays Luke is a close second lets be honest
Right? With his wittle top hat. 😭
He so is....he's in Penny Dreadful: City of Angels being tormentented by a demon....poor kid
@@its_nells and also in The Color From Outer Space
Agreed
This is the most sad show I've ever seen. It had me in tears so many times. The end of episode 6 when Nell is saying "I was right here all along and you couldn't see me" both as a young girl and when she was the ghost at her funeral was the saddest thing I've ever seen
Eric Bisson Same.. cried in like every episode
right!! brilliant though. And the end of the episode that explains the mom's suicide (9 i think) she says at the end "you guys go on without me" and the dad says "how could we ever" as themselves when they first move in. They ended up falling apart and losing connection with each other after the night she died and for the rest of their lives until they meet her again at the house.
Me too it broke my heart x
I cried my eyes out during the last episode. The music, the monologues, it was beautiful.
And the theo scene when her younger self was screaming "DON'T TOUCH ME" in the past and it switches to her present self making out saying "touch me" while the background score played is one of the most tragic scenes ever.
I loved Nell she was undoubtedly the best sibling she did nothing wrong but even after her husband died nobody cared.
Nell was so pityfull. So was Luke. As children they were the ones tormented so much. Well so was Olivia. But Nell and Luke being children was hardest to watch for me.
@@billybleedscrimsonblood9478 olivia?
@@bethsiaz Yeah. Liv!
@@bethsiaz that was the mom
I’m guessing the bent neck lady was the manifesto of Nell’s self-sacrificial attribute. She’s willing to give up herself from her childhood to make her family happy. She killed herself because she made a realization that it would bring her family together. She reached the state where she yielded for love, instead of facing it head on just so her family could do the opposite.
Imagine if all the hidden ghosts where just he camera crew accidentally getting in the way
Lol I was thinking the same thing. Easier to just have the crew dress as ghosts then edit the equipment out!
😂😂😂 fr fr
xDD
Cecilia Marsh “can you spot all of the IDIOTS that accidentally appeared in the shot during this episode?”
Bitch
The actress that played nell is so gorgeous
Victoria Pedretti
She acted in You season 2 too
@Chai DK what? lol
@Chai DK huh?
TBH her face scares me lol always has
Hill House wasn’t the scariest thing I’ve seen. However, what made me love this show more than anything was how amazing the story line was WITH the incorporated horror. It wasn’t over the top. It was amazing.
What was the scariest thing you saw?
@@iamthewizardwhoknocks2845 your mom
It was about family, I cried so much
It has depth, which 99% of horror movies/ shows lack. It has character, and it’s not composed purely out of cheap scares. Imma stop gushing, but I absolutely love this series because it is pure quality. A lot of work and care was put in it and it shows. You reap what you sow! Okay imma stop lol
@@ivettgamarra Same
Did anyone else feel really dumb after seeing how many hidden ghosts there were???...
😬
Sophia Vastra I didn’t see none of em 😂😂😂
@@brownskin_girl6014 So you saw all of them?
Nope. I saw most of them.
I saw all of them
I only saw one and backed up and paused it to make sure
“There wasn’t a treehouse. We were planning on being there for up to 8 weeks! When would I have the time to build a gotdamn treehouse” CHIIIIILLLLLLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS‼️
I love that line too. Eight weeks, you would believe they lived there for years.
Sameeee fr fr
gail m right! But then I remembered time was warped asf. I wonder if that’s why even they lived there for 8 weeks vs their aunt Janet for years... they call that house home?
gail m the characters legit said "the place we grew up" to be fair. saying that is like "yeah thats our childhood home" or some shit. maybe its to add effect. like to them it felt like years even tho it was just a few weeks/days
The thing is that they were planning on being there for only 8 weeks, I don't think that even happened, it was probably less than that. Crazy stuff.
so many insane plot twists! the red room , abigail , the bent neck lady .. it’s crazy
megan rae so underrated tbh these types of shows require more attention for they are a work of art
The Red Room could have easily been disappointing after all the build-up, instead it was more than I expected it to be.
Abigail plot twist was the best
The bent neck lady twist absolutely crashed my mind
I think the biggest and saddest twist for me was realizing Nell was the bent-neck lady. That poor girl was seeing her own death her entire life, so sad
I cried like a baby over Nell in Ep 5. I did not figure it out before the show told me what was happening. This series has leapfrogged up my list of favorite scary things. I’ve never reacted this much to a character’s death.
yeah. that's when the entire show became more sad than scary for me
@@cubemissy there was a moment when she was in the house and went up the stairs that I thought her mom was bent neck lady which I thought was a terrifying thing for a child to be seeing and then for anyone to be seeing over their lifetime. But then realizing it was actually her the entire time and I think she really began to realize it as an adult which is why the terror she felt escalated.
The most horrifying moment in the series was when they realized it costs $6,000 a month for Luke's rehab 😂
Chuck Franco I legit pulled back when they mentioned that in the show lmao 🤣
But they have horseback riding, man!
Even more horrifying is to know that's not that far from accurate and not all insurance covers it (or will cover all of it - they'll cover the immediate need if it can be said it's a medical issue, i.e. you need to dry out/withdraw, but anything long-term or once you're out of needing to be there by medical necessity they usually won't cover). If you have a loved one that needs help it can bankrupt you trying to get it for them. That IS horrifying. 3 months in the treatment we really wanted (and that they, of course, assured was the "best option" for full recovery) would've cost $15,000, and that was in addition to the over $3,500 out of pocket it had cost for the 1 month already spent in intensive, in-patient. We couldn't do it and you feel helpless at one of the lowest times in your life.
My reaction was the exact same as Shirley... but they have horses you know? haha
What's sad about the rehab price, will explain why there is a high percentage of people wanting to get help, living out on the streets.
"The bent-neck lady is still *hanging* around" ... smooth
dekaru 👏👏👏
Lol
Uhhhh she FUCKING scares me
Ayyye! Nice!
I love it in the last episode she says ‘ ‘ this room has seen us before, it was Shirley’s family room, moms reading room, Luke’s tree house, and also Steven’s, theos dance room, and my toy room ‘ ‘.
Well when Nell died all of them woke up and felt pain around their neck just like nell died
I didn't pick up on it like that. Nice catch. I just thought they all feel when each other is in danger at the house. Especially in the Red Room because Shirley said "Nellie's in the Red Room" when she woke up
Actually the only one who felt the pain in the neck was Luke. What's cool about it is that when Nell is "woken up" by her mother the others siblings woke up aswell
@@Roshiochan all of them grabbed their necks when they woke up tho

It's little moments like that. That's what solidified this as my favorite show I've ever seen. There are countless subtle touches and callbacks and connections that can't quite be explained in a video. The subtleness and detail of this show blew my
Was anyone else in love with the mother? Her looks, her personality. My goodness.
i only recognized her from suckerpunch! great movie, it’s on netflix
she is absolutely breathtaking, captivating, mysterious, beautiful, ravishing, and haunting all at the same time 🖤
@@wickedlittleleo9218 Couldn't have said it better myself. Well, I can, but I don't feel like it 😂
She was very feminine. Very likable and caring. Her story hurt my heart. Same with Nellie.
Yes!!! Spy Kids mom!! She looks phenomenal.
When the father told Steve that the man working on the clock was never there and that Steve had been seeing ghost all along gave me THE BIGGEST CHILL
theoneandonly 14 When Hugh called Steve and told him Nell was dead, but she was standing right behind him... fucked with my head man
Scott Bagley bro i jumped so hard at that part.
Scott Bagley it’s so funny how Steve had been in denial his whole life. But in episode 9 when the mom walks pass the man on the clock also gave me chills
I almost fainted at that part.
SAME!!!!
Anyone else notice how the kittens, like the kids, had just lost their mother to mysterious circumstances? And then one of the five dies (Nell). And the rest have inherited some disease (haunting or mental illness). I thought this was blunt but haven't seen anyone mention it.
When I counted the five kittens I knew that they were some type of metaphor for the children, but I didn’t even notice it in the way you put it
Reminded me of the dire wolf pups from GOT!
The smallest one died first just like poor Nell
And what about the second kitten that appears dead with its eyes white? Maybe it is a reference to Luke and him almost dying overdosed in the red room
David B Jacobs God I keep finding out more stuff from this show wow
I'm still crying. that ending when the husband brought his wife Clara back to the house- omg. this series isn't just about the horror, its the emotions and the sadness. i need a sequel oh my lord.
Not quite a sequel but they're bringing out The Haunting of Bly Manor soon - most of the same cast but a totally different set of characters and story!
That scene brought out so many emotions for me!
Yes. The family theme was so strong
incorporated with religion, love, death etc
That scene broke my heart. 😢
Has anyone else noticed at episode 6 when the mother goes searching for Nell that one of the statues turns to look at her when she comes out of the bedroom??? That was the most chilling moment for me.
Oh boi yes I did!! And I thought maybe it was like that before - but then when it cuts back the head turned back and I'm just like NOPE
i noticed it!! i was like 'what the heck' hahaha
Ohhh yes I did!!! Flipped my lid
Thats a throwback from the cherubs on the headboard in The Haunting (1999). They’re looking away in one shot and the next shot looking right at Nell.
did anyone see the foreshadowing where the mom was warning the dad abt taking down the rope thats tied up next to the stairs and she said “u better tie this up before we have bodies floating around” only for her daughter to kill herself using that??
Oh snap!
Yes!!! I noticed this the minute she said it
The moment she said it, I immediately thought of the bent neck lady lol
Yep
@@alexao6319 touche. That's pretty funny.
When Nellie screamed in Shirley's car, I legit screamed. I have never ever done that.
Roberta Trevino I fell off my treadmill and my iPad smacked my face. I ended up with a bloody lip and totally embarrassed.
Same with me!! The fight between Shirley and Theo was so dramatic so I kind of leaned into the scene... I jumped at first and after a moment I screamed😂 Never got so scared before!
I almost lost air at that bit
Same I dropped my phone and needed a minute to recover. That jumpscare came out of nowhere, it was not cool
I'm surprised that it worked for y'all... I'm an absolute wimp and was terrified by most of the scares, but that one made me laugh out loud. It was so bizarre and abrupt (and in retrospect, inconsistent with how Nell appears any other time) that it was pretty comical
The part that got me the hardest was when Theo was talking about that all-consuming nothingness she felt when she touched Nell. The anguish in her voice was palpable and voiced a lot of fears of mine. Superb acting.
Yeah but the thing abt that i didn't get is, when theo stumbled to the couch and steve & shirl's husband tried to help her get up, but she refused saying she doesn't wanna to feel their grieved too, but how can she feel anything if she felt empty after she touched nell's dead body.
@@jimlongasa9132 it's a facade
you'll love her work in Midnight Mass, another series in the Flanagan universe
@@jimlongasa9132She didn't feel anything when she touched Nells body because her spirit was gone. The other people in her life are still alive thus she would feel what they were feeling.
”I loved you completely
And you loved me the same
That’s all
The rest is confetti”
The most powerful three sentences in the series.
it makes me cry every time
Rewatching this that part made me sad at first you think she’s rambling on and then it turns into this depressing ass part
wait i still thought she was rambling the last episode i was like what is everyone TALKING about between her and steve, what does the confetti stuff mean???
@@sorakai28 at first yes but by the end of it everything makes sense. Yeah it took her death but that’s what makes it beautiful. She basically reveals what the room was to them and tells them to move on without her. If you remember what her twin brother said about not living without her she told him basically that she’s there with him still and then when all the other siblings are saying what they regret she doesn’t need to forgive them because she knew they all loved each other no matter what. The rest being confetti was basically her saying that it wasn’t important what happened before but what matters in the future
The kitten thing kinda freaked me out bc Nell (i think it was Nell anyway) said ''there's five of them, just like us'' and then one died so ig it was kinda foreshadowing
500th like dumbassssss
It was Shirley who found the kittens
scarletsavenger But I was Nell who said that.
Well in the end all the kittens died anyway 😢But I get what you mean
the kittens were actually a big symbol for the show. Olivia (the mom) says, when Shirley catches her making tea with rat poison, "you grew up so fast, you, steve and theo, kittens need their mommies and then they don't". Luke and Nell are kittens who need to be saved from the harsh world by her, that's why she was so obsessed with waking them up and inviting them to the tea party.
This show was over hyped when it came to being scary (people were saying they were fainting and throwing up) but under hyped when it came to quality and how great of a show it actually is.
I didn't get scared one time. I got creeped out a couple times and jumped one time but that's it.
I almost fainted at the car scene. I just wasn't expecting it all and usually movies go silent/play eerie music before something pops up (and I can watch through my fingers..) Apparently the actors who played Theo and Shirley were scared too because Nell jumped early. I read somewhere that they still had another half page of dialogue but jumped early for authentic reactions.
@@KHH595 They show only had a couple jumps cares from what I can remember but they were affective. The show mostly relied on environmental horror and creepiness similar to Ridley Scott's Alien instead of generic lazy jumps cares and bad writing. This show is how you do horror right. It's a work of art.
King Ryko - Yes, yes, yes. I absolutely agree.
@@d.h.2848 I hate jump scares and it turns me away from most horror movies. I have an overactive startle reaction, which is really not fun for people around me, because I _have_ accidentally hit people when I react. However, anything that relies on other tactics? Totally good with. (Well, I'm not a fan of "torture porn" type things either, and really consider them a genre unto themselves.) Unfortunately, most movies rely on cheap jump scares these days. I don't think that's even what people want out of horror movies but it's probably just done because of lazy, untalented creators.
Bawled when Nellie went "no no no no" at seeing her younger self and during the finale. Definitely an extremely well written horror series that makes you feel for all the characters.
The monologue Mr Dudley gives when explaining why Liv should take some time away was so chilling and his acting was incredible. Every scene he was in was so good. He was great and imo the best acting in the show
Very good actor and character
I agree! Dudley killed that scene!
the car scene with the sisters arguing was so scary and sad at the same time because the little sister wanted them to stop arguing I literally got scared and started crying right after
that scene was the first time i screamed so loud at a jumpscare
Yo I was crying those silent tears!! And me and my sister thought we saw ghosts moving closer the the fog when the sisters came out of the car. Rewatch that scene and see!!!!
I laugh so much at this scene. I just think that the fight is so bad that the ghost sister need to come out and call them to shut up.
That was the first jump scare that actually made me scream
Lmao I screamed at that part my whole family was shook 😂
I literally didn't notice a SINGLE damn background ghost.
I didn't noticed many of them either but I'm thinking that subconsciously my brain was feeling "there's something very wrong here" because I kept feeling uneasy and tense through out all the scenes in the house. Kind of like how you can sense something in your peripheral vision even though you are not _looking_ at it.
Well I knew there ghosts in the backgrounds and I STILL didn't see a darn thing. 🤷♀️
I only saw that lady with the long white hair in the background when Hugh was looking at the hole in the wall and I was so proud of myself XD
Even when I later figured out there were hidden ghosts, I still had trouble finding them hahaha
How
Also guys a statue moves a few times.
Luke breaks my heart so much. Noone ever believed him since he's a child. While watching the show I just wanted to jump into the fiction and hug him and say "I believe you"
Nell did
Yea, that would suck for him too. Some ghost popping out from some other dimension saying I believe u.
@@sdott9751 😂
Nell forcing her family to stop arguing in different episodes was so dope to me. When she stopped Shirl and Theo From fighting in the car I lost it. She really loved them all unconditionally.
That part scared the hell outta me!! I absolutely love Victoria. I’m hoping there’s a way she’ll be back in YOU. I don’t wanna give any spoilers away incase you haven’t seen it
@@theearlynovamber8295 wait a minute......she is Joe's wife......fml
True, its so refreshing to have scares in a horror film/show that serve a plot purpose other than just putting the characters in peril.
A jump scare.. how original
that scared the living shit outta me
"The bent neck lady is still *hanging around* watching them."
I see what you did there
Oof
finally someone said that shirley's the worst sibling!!!
She definitely was. i'd rather have the drug addict as a sibling.
Hey explain listen......you should respond to your fans more often on here. Your dope as hell dude even if your a cartoon😂.
FR like her ghost was the of her own making.
Yeah getting pissed at her sister and husband thinking they kissed when she slept with a fellow married person wtf!
@@SexyButCurious maybe that's why she was extra pissed? Because she knows she did something awful so she didn't want to be cheated on
Nell’s death was so emotional. That beautiful waltz with Arthur, only to see the sad reality of Nell dancing alone in the dust. Then the fall from the top of the spiral staircase at the hands of her own tragically misguided mother ... 💔
It was so good! Hard to find good horror that's not slasher porn.
I agree. They had one jump scare (it was a good one) and the rest was creeping unease and sinister ghostly apparitions, all laid out with no fanfare, but a generous helping of spine-tingling tension. Made the hair on the back of my neck stand on end, it did.
Lol
@@MaggieTheCat01 They had multiple jump scares. But the car one was just the loudest and most unexpected jump scare (and it was great).
Recommend some
I truly wanted the bent neck lady to be anything else, knowing she's nell was too devastating
It broke my heart when she was hovering over her younger self whispering "no, no, no, no, no.."
Sad. That it's your future self haunting you.
Flinch F why
We are our own ghosts
When the bent neck lady was first shown on the show I thought it's the most terryfing aspect of the series. Went to bed that night and had a crazy dream I cannot completely recall but I shot up off bed gasping so I know it's not a good dream and then I said out loud "nell is the bent neck lady". I quickly grabbed my phone to send a msg to my bf since we both watched the series that night but I realized it's like 3am and it would be weird waking him up to tell him that Nell is the bent neck lady so I just went back to sleep. I did told him first thing in the morning. He thought I was being silly and I just said I know in my guts I am right. When it was finally revealed that Nell IS the bent neck lady my bf couldn't believe I called it.
This show is not scary in the sense that it will make you "faint" or "scream" (other than a few jump scares). What really gives me chills and still keeps me from sleeping at night even though I finished the show about two weeks ago, is the feeling of emptiness and loneliness this show brought. The most creepy scene in my opinion was the when Nell was dancing with her husband, and it transitioned to her dancing, in the dark, all alone. Its a terrifying thought to think that everything around you is not real and you are really standing alone, in darkness, surrounded by demons. To know that something so familiar and precious to you is bringing you one step closer to your death, and will eventually result in an afterlife of sorrow. You end up living in the same house you were tortured and scarred in, forever. But this has to become your new normal now. Its just soooooooooo scary and the whole thing is 2 good man i love when filmmakers care enough about the show and story to add extra details to enhance the effects, even though the audience may not recognize them right away. Their attention to detail is soo spot on im honestly shook.
I don't think they are tied to the house and aren't able to leave. Eg. Nell talking a car ride, visiting Steve.
The exact same dancing scene was the worst for me. This show scares me because it made me feel so empty and sad for the characters. Their extreme loss is so frightening 😂 I’m glad that you pointed out that scene
Same here
Whoa...... that's messed up........
551th9 - Also when Theo was screaming about not feeling anything...like complete emptiness...the thought of the afterlife just being an eternity of wandering alone and sad is horrifying. It would be horrifying if, after a person killed herself from being depressed and wanting escape...to then emerge into an eternity where it’s now more lonely, sad, and depressing than you could ever imagine, and this time, you really CANNOT escape. That’s frightening. What if we are all walking around right now and happy-go-lucky, having no idea that we are just this side of an eternity of being cold, lonely, and scared?? Yikes.
Nell's husband asking "Do you drink coffee" and Nell's first reaction is one of the most adorable things ever.
That scene of Nell being back in Hill house, showing her with family and dancing with Arthur, cutting to her dancing alone. Damn that was heart wrenching.
Also that one take episode was wild, so we'll done. The crew would carry and run the child actors to their next spot so they could be back in front of the camera on time
YOU’RE MISTAKEN!
The scariest part of the entire show is the young father’s contact lenses... so otherworldly.
RubbyDuckky YES!!!! I was like those are contact lenses and they look weird!!
I think coz of the older hugh have blue eyes so maybe thats y 😂😂
RubbyDuckky wait where
I kept telling my boyfriend those contacts lenses were distracting me from the scary plot!!!!
Oh my god I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought his eyes looked crazy 😂
Steve annoyed me greatly. He yelled about mental illness but capitalized on his family's mental illnesses and then neglected to give Luke and Nell emotional support. He was my least favorite sibling. Shirley was a raging hypocrite and constantly acted like the boss to her siblings. She made decisions for everyone and expected people to blindly follow her. Neither of them gave Luke the belief he needed to stay clean.
They both really fucking annoyed me, but we aren't always going to fall in love with characters.
You may have forgotten but luke was an addict for a whole decade, I wouldnt have believed him either
me too
@@AllThatGlitter224 bitch but the whole reason he became an addict was because no one believed him abt the ghosts & he didn't know how to cope wth
@@chasekindell5054 ^^ PREACH
Luke, theo and Nell tho ❤😭
Gonna miss the Crain family, really got attached to them throughout the season ;((
aw, i get that.
Nellies “confetti” speech broke me 😭
Anybody else notice Nells Psycologist got her killed by telling her to go to the house?
he was the worst therapist ever. Like she was coming to him pale as fuck and super manic and he believed her when she said she was taking her medicine.
Sam Stones - sure, but notice this story is written so that she must confront her fate of becoming the bent neck lady. It’s a bit inconsistent from writing perspective that she decided to ditch medication and still see the doctor. His advice to confront her past is spot on. Otherwise she can’t escape her problem and the family problem won’t resolve.
@@MugenTJ I wouldnt call beeing murdered by ghosts fate (Kind Regards The Bent Neck Lady)
Emanuel Esparza - if it happened, it’s fate. No matter what caused it. There is no alternative in this story, she is to become the bent neck lady. Her becoming the ghost also brought the other family members together.
Yep
The real question here is: How was Luke able to sleep on the floor (during the sleepover with Abigail), having seen the floating man prior???? Like I wouldn't touch the floor at night even if I have to pee!
Yeah I get that , but he had a friend and she was real and that’s all he cared about at that moment , children tend to forget easily
What would be the difference between lying in bed or on the floor?? The only way he’d be safe is if he got the fuck out of that house lol
Ooof
He got used to seeing ghosts and no believing him
I think the guy stopped coming into his room of a night at least while they were at the house after they moved out and Luke got older he came back, but the tall guy only started haunting him cause Luke took his hat without knowing
The Haunting of Hill House is a masterpiece in my opinion. Loved every minute!
John Laing one of the best shows that deserved it’s upcoming season unlike other show *cough* *cough* 13 reasons why
@@hbreloase2247 Agreed!
“The rest is confetti” - absolutely beautifully written. This series is a masterpiece even three years later. The script and overall message was absolutely amazing. It truly was a gothic love story. The cinematography in this is superb. The twists and turns are unlike anything I’ve seen before. This series was and still is a piece of art: just perfection.
What's the meaning of the confetti
I was so shook with the bent neck lady being nellie.
literally my face when I found out 😮
ZOOMtoon 's me too sis ‘ I was like WHAT
AND LIKE HOW THEY FLASHED AND SHOWED EVERY BENT NECK LADY SCENE AS NELL AND WHEN SHE SCREAMEDDDD.
I CRIED OML, to me it was shocking and sad c': i really liked her
I legit almost cried when they showed it was her the whole time. I got chills when she flew down further back in time
same but i was scared of her until i found out it was her 💀
So happy I found this channel and can now retire CinemaSins. Their “sins” aren’t even really movie sins, no constructive criticism, no background info, nothing. Just the same jokes over and over. This is refreshing. Very informative and funny.
Ashie Gymnast But it’s not...
Ashie Gymnast It is, however it’s only about 15% criticism. Doesn’t feel well balanced
I would reccomend CinemaWins also as a review channel! I started off watching CinemaSins but got bored of it and found it's opposite CinemaWins and I love how they actually do a honest review of the movies and give their thoughts in the end
calmlcism Cinemasins isn’t really made to criticize and break down movies, it’s just supposed to nitpick and poke at things that aren’t really funny, but they make it funny.
The problem with Cinemasins is that the jokes are the same ones every single time. I get that the humour behind it is like "ha we're nitpicking these things, funny!" But it's repetitive after a while. I watch like one of their videos a month and can laugh, but the day I decided to binge it I couldn't do it. So repetitive.
After re watching this series, I actually grew to love every character. They all have really beautiful moments with the other siblings, it’s small things that I didn’t realize the first time around. Even Shirley and Steven had really sweet moments that made it easy to see how Nell forgave them in the end. Really great acting and writing all around
Imagine trying to ‘save’ your kids by killing them and you only end up killing someone else’s kid
No kidding!
This show is SO sad, I literally cried every episode like actual sobbing. It's amazing building the characters and making us relate to them
Me too. It felt to close to home.
Sadly, I felt nothing and didn't care for any of the characters except Luke. Didn't cry, and I thought the show was just meh. But I'll try and keep looking for another show, gonna try Ozark next
@@Irraptured Ozark is pretty intense... I Personally loved it.
Felt nothing either, it's quite boring. This show is super overrated.
I know especially on the 3rd episode and the 10th
episode 4 (luke’s story) was by far my favorite. luke is my favorite. and i have to admit i cried during that episode, and is also cried when shirley told luke to leave nellies wedding. shirley was my least favorite. she’s so controlling and acts like she owns the whole family.
I cried when young Luke tells Nell about the 7-button trick in ep 4... This was so moving and those two young actors are so adorable together
My favorite was theos story
RIGHT? And then the others were pissed at Luke for not making Nells wedding. That made me so angry and sad.
Luke's story was tough for me to watch because I used to be an addict - prescription drugs - and was in a detox facility so I have seen the dynamics of those places personally.
Talk about a metaphor for struggling with inner demons. Ooff.
valar hope you’re doing better brother
Nell and Arthur's romance was so pure and wonderful, and watching him die was a gut punch for me.
it wasn’t like Shitting your pants scary, but it was so depressingly sad
“Steve, who a lot of people think is the worst of the siblings- *It’s Shirley* ”
👏👏👏
Amen!
Shirley is the best imo lol
I think Steve is the worst is because what he did to his wife. He lied to her for years and actually went through the process of having children when he knew that he couldn't.
@@Ashole024 If lying to your spouse is what makes you the worst, doesn't that make Shirley worse than Steve? She cheated on her husband, didn't tell him and was unwilling to listen to his explanation, when she thought he did the same
@@-adela-6994 Steve knew Leigh wanted kids before they even got married, and yet never told her he can't because of his vasectomy. He watched her be miserable year after year of not getting pregnant, and still didn't have the balls to tell her. They even started fertility treatments - which can be very hard on a woman's body, and he STILL didn't tell her. What Shirley did was gross, wrong, and hypocritical, but in my opinion was nowhere near as bad as what Steve did.
I agree the bent neck lady & two storms are the most mind-blowing episodes of this series! It's the episode where you started connecting the dots and you can understand the story clearer. Overall this is a great series, Mike Flanagan has proven that good horror story doesn't have to rely on jump scare **cough, James Wan, cough**
And... who the hell watch Netflix 3 episodes at a time? I finished the whole series in one sitting
I watched three episodes at a time because I'm a little bitch when it comes to spirits
James Wan is a master in horor movies that has a few jumpscares but great atmosphere and directing
@@benjaminharris8407 and shitty stories
Took me two days. If i had off it would’ve been one and i most definitely watched it with the lights on. It was more so the fear I felt of something popping up but nothing did, like you said they made it more about the story rather than making me piss my pants.
I agree thos 2 eps are the best. But i love that even the jump scares serve a porpoise to the story. My favorite jump scare was the car scene it was the only scene where i dropped my tablet.
"and since he's holding onto his dead wife as well he's like-word" 13:30
*dead* 😂😭
Just like his wife
@@andy8162 LOL
The reveal that the bent neck lady was Nell still gets me shook man. I was not expecting that. This show was a pure masterpiece.
I personally believe that all the crain siblings have some sort of psychic ability. It was explained by carla gugino in her buzzfeed interview that the only way they can enter the red room is through their minds/psychic power. The reason hugh has never been able to go into the red room or have some sort of experience with the red room is because he doesn’t have a psychic ability. The kids being able to acquire that gene from their mother was able to be manipulated by the room depending on their mental and emotional needs. The only reason that steve and shirley rarely gets to highlight that psychic ability is because they don’t really believe that they possess such ability; steve thinks it’s a mental disease that runs in the family. Shirley on the other hand kept denying it and blames it on the more sound reasons. It’s only theo, luke and nell who embraced the idea that they might have inherited this psychic ability that’s why they were the ones who are mostly inapt to the paranormal experiences happening in and out of the hill house.
@tyran buzzfeed is trash
I think you’re right though
Yeah mate you're an idiot. Firstly buzz feed is written by idiots for idiots. Secondly that "theory" completely invalidates everything explain in the show and creates a shit ton of plot holes in it.
I read somewhere that the red room was a distraction so that they spent more time in the house, and the dad’s distraction was the black mould that was coming from the red room so he didn’t need an actual room to himself, just the idea of work coming out of it
The room with the leak was actually the red room for hugh. Thats what carla said with the Q&A
When Nell jumped out in the car my drink flew from my glass all over myself.. Scared the 💩 out of me 😂
And ti think it was their actual genuine reaction 😂😂😂😂they were screaming with you too
I' ve never screamed so loud in my life
I literally screamed 😳 lol I was all up in it and all of a sudden she popped up
The show is about love and confronting your fears and guilt so it doesn't haunt you, literally and figuratively. That's the entire point of it all, not jump scares or cheap thrills. Man I wish these writers had written Season 8 of Game of Thrones.
"That's why she's always surrounded by dead people...."
"Her equal" lmao
Episode 5 deserves an award for the Cinematography😭🙌🏽
Do you mean 6? 5 was The bent-neck lady reveal.
RewriteDestiny nope 5 was amazing to me 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
@@Khryssi05 but 6 is the one that deserves it for all the no-cut wrong running scenes
Irrapture to you.
@@Khryssi05 Well obviously. I told you my reasoning as to why. Lol
The mom, Olivia, gives me Lana del Rey vibes
thank god it wasnt just me
Same and theo gave me Angelina Jolie’s vibes
I couldn't put my finger on it untill I red this!! So true!!
evy being evy SAME I thought it was just me sksksk
she gave me Lisa Ann's vibes
Oh my god I swear I didn’t even notice ONE of the hidden ghosts, ew
Edit: NEVERMIND! I’m rewatching this because like,, it’s amazing. And I remembered I saw the one under the stairs and thought that was gonna be the “scare”, so when that one was literally not addressed at all I was feeling unsettled for so long I must’ve repressed it hahah
Saw the series last year and it broke my heart. The twins broke my heart. I want to hug them so bad. Protect adult Luke and give him all the love and attention he deserves.
I straight up started to cry when Theo was in the basement and feeling what that little girl felt. That was so heart breaking! Nells death fucked me up for awhile to be honest. This show is so great story wise but I didn't get that scared, like who are the people that were fainting and what not!?
Very very light-hearted people.
A few scenes were scary but I only jumped when dead Nell jumped forward in the car. Other than that, I was just watching so intently because it was so well done.
Those people we're pussies
Some of the ghosts you showed I was just looking at the picture like “what am I supposed to see?”😂
I was watching the movie "Oculus" the other day and was thinking "this style of filming has very much in common with haunting in hill house" and actually they're from the same director. Watch the movie if you want another good horror trip :)
Yeah noticed that too, he has a very distinct style and I've really enjoyed it both times. The end of oculus broke my heart and really made me feel something for the characters much in the same way as the Haunting of Hill House, which is incredibly rare for me. I'm really looking forward to see more from him.
Oculus along with Hush, Gerald's Game (a King novel Flanagan wanted to adapt for decades), and most recently Doctor Sleep, the Shining sequel. All fucking great films. Ari Aster, Jordan Peele, Robert Eggers and him are my favorite horror directors right now.
Manny A. H. Dr. Sleep does not get the praise it deserves. I LOVED that movie...probably more than The Shining. I hope someday it becomes a cult classic/sleeper hit. It was a long movie, but I was so engrossed, beginning to end, that I felt like the whole thing flew by in minutes. I was so sad when it tanked in theaters
I actually praised Oculus for so long as one of the greatest i’ve seen in a very longtime. Hill house came out and I said “ This is equally, if not better than Oculus”. A few weeks later I found out it was from the same Guy 🤯
The Scooby Doo music was greatly appreciated lmao
Steve is basically Shane from buzzfeed unsolved
I knew that that was the person he reminded me of
YES he’s Hollywood Shane. He looks just like him, especially when he wore glasses.
OKAY I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO SAW THE RESEMBLANCE
The family dynamics of the Crains was so depressing, almost annoying. They were all so cold to each other, especially towards Nell and Luke. I mean yeah you've got a scarred childhood, but damnit get your shit together and support each other.
I think that's one reason why this show fucked me up. My family dynamic is that way at the least, maybe worse. It's why I only have my mom around.
They became that way at the end! I think it was all of them needing to really really confront their worst demons before they could become better people. It's sad that it took the death of their sister for it to happen, but they got there eventually. Like Nell said, "the rest is confetti."
i felt chills watching the whole show because...the siblings and parents really all correspond. It was like someone stole my life and wrote something way more horrific and depressing than it already is. Doesn't help that i was struggling with depression from as young as i can remember and like Nell, nobody really believed or saw what i was going through until we were much much older, so i secluded myself like Theo. I have 3 other siblings.
"bent neck lady is still HANGING around..."
See what you did there.
When I watched episode 5 and saw that she was the bent neck lady. I WAS SHOOK I hand to pause the dam episode and take a minute to understand
Luke needs a Award for that scream.
@@holless when he's under the bed and the tall dude comes to take his hat back.
@@sparklingstickynote ISTGGGGGG
Luke is my favorite character. When they did the fake out death of him I almost cried lol
Same! I was so worried they were going to kill him. It would have made him a punching bag, he had no happiness at all, like even Nell got her happiness with her husband before she dies. I cried so much when Shirley didn't let Luke come to Nellie's wedding, so yeah, I am so glad when Luke decides to come back to his siblings.
Young version of Luke is sooooo adorable!!
Yeah. Luke and Nell were so pitiful. They both had it worse than the others their whole life. People always look down on addicts and people with depression. It made me think of something I saw once once. Don't judge people. You don't know what storm the've been through.
Luke was my favorite too. You want to dislike him for being an addict and all but it's like you can't, you just want to hug him.
M M1989 I wanted to hug the characters so many times throughout the series!
I watched a lot of horror series but nothing gives me chills like how I had when I discovered Nell is the bent neck lady. I was alone in my room and all I could is "girl.. perioddd"
I love how mike flanagan has a bunch of the same actors in his productions, they’re all SO good and most of them I hadnt even heard of before watching his stuff. And the child actors in this were incredible!!
I remember reading somewhere that originally after Luke blows the candle, the camera would show us that the siblings were actually in the red room, giving the whole ending a new meaning but Mike decided to give them happy endings because he had grown attached to them.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Thank God
That's exactly what I thought was going to happen so I prepared myself for devastation.
That would’ve broke me
But I want to ask why is it a bad ending that they are in the red room actually? I get it the house won but they won't know they are in the red room, they won't be sad and devastated, they'll be doing what they like and keeps them busy. So doesn't that ending take away their awareness (only the audience knows) and because they are unaware they are not unhappy?
who needs notifications when you spend all your time on youtube
Exactly
oh yeah yeah
oh yeah yeah
Sub to Bianca Rose on RUclips!
Oh yeah yeah
that car scene scared the living crap out of me.
I’ve watched this series at least 4 times (suffice to say it’s one of my favorite shows ever), and you explaining Nell and the Bent Neck Lady arc still makes me tear up and get goosebumps 😞
My heart goes out to her character ❤️
Have you ever noticed how Nell and Luke are the ones that got the most problems as adults, because when they were kids they saw their mother killing another child while also trying to poison them? This show is so good
This kinda reminded me of the first season of american horror story, where the ghosts lived in the horror house after they died there, and could never be ‘released’
Ruby Nagy same lol and how in AHS Constance was trying to make her daughter Adelaide die in the murder house too by dragging her body there before she could die but she couldn't get her there in time.
Gaming and Music Trash I agree, much more psychological horror too, such a good show
that's what i was thinking throughout , it's pretty interesting
yah and inception on how Olivia died. I would have appreciated the show even more if I hadn't seen AHS S1 and Inception
That's right!!! I had the biggest dejavu and just couldn't recall the name of the movie tht this resembles (american horror)!! thanks for reminding :)
What makes me sad about this show is the fact that nell and olivia were just trying to change their fate, which led them into facing the same fate they were fearing. In Olivia's case, she was trying to change the fate of the twins, so she kill them to "wake them up". In Nell's case, however, it wasn't shown well in the show,but I saw this comment which stated that nell was trying to warn her past self about her fate, that was why growing up, she kept seeing the bent neck lady.
It taught me that the future and the things that would happen in it is inevitable, and meddling with fate wouldn't do you any good.
I loved a Haunting on Hill house. I never cried so much watching a horror show lol. But I really enjoyed the show because it really showed how siblings cope with grieving differently, can grow up in the same home and have different experiences. Lost my Mother as a child, and processing that and moving forward looked different for all my siblings, shaped us all differently too. The series did a beautiful job of depicting that.
Arthur was such a good dude. R.I.P.
Arthur who
@@dancelikeumathurman8092 Nellie's husband
Cos he was black?
He was so kind and patient towards Nell! I just couldn't help but love them together😢
Before we found out Arthur died, I thought to myself how sad he's going to be when Nell dies, then he died first!! I was shocked!!
I wish you'd focused on Theo's breakdown in Ep 8 a bit more. It is hands down my favourite scene in all 10 episodes because (about to go on a rant now) you get the sense that Theo holds things very close to the chest. And rightfully so, bc without the gloves, most of what she feels isn't even her own feelings. It's everyone else's bc of her psychic ability. And the one person who probably could've understood, could've helped her, her Mother, died by suicide when she was a kid.
You just know that Theo wonders if Olivia's powers had a hand in her mental deterioration those last few weeks in Hill House. Bc everyone saw Olivia slowly, slowly lose herself to become this deranged personality who continuously lashed out at her family. Theo has to wonder if that's what's in store for her. Touching Nell's body and having that feeling of nothing encompass her until she couldn't even feel herself, she was that numb...... It must've made everything so much worse. And as she breaks down, completely loses it in front of the only sister she has left, you can hear the unspoken questions. Did this feeling of nothing ruin Mom? Is that why she died? Why she killed herself? (We know that's not true, somewhat, but Theo doesn't) Is this gonna happen to me too? And there's anger under all that fear too. Bc Shirley is standing in front of her. Shirley, who has always denied the existence of Theo's powers, always belittled her for having them. But Theo is still asking for her forgiveness for the Kevin thing, bc it wasn't her fault, and she can't lose her only sister. So she just really, really needs Shirley to believe her and forgive her.
And dear God, Kate Siegel sells all of that and so much more so beautifully in that scene. I actually didn't realize until almost my 4th viewing of the scene that it's 3 long takes! They only cut away to show Shirley's reaction but aside from that, the camera is entirely on Kate as she just completely breaks down in-character.
I'm sorry for the rant but that scene is just really special to me. Bc of what it means for and to Theo to finally say all that out loud, the way Kate portrays it, all the implications, all the layers to that breakdown. It's just.....
God, this series is the one of the best things I've ever seen.
Is there a History behind the house? Because I did watch the whole season. And I'm still confused like why the house and even haunted? Do I need to read the book? To find out the reason why?🤷🏾♀️
i dont think that was ever explained although this will be an anthology series so maybe they'll come back to it :)
The book is NOTHING like the series. Eleanor and Theo are invited to stay at Hill House by a professor who has rented it for three months. The owner’s nephew, Luke, is there, too. All of these characters are strangers to each other and completely unrelated. Ghostly goings-on ensue.
I do like what Netflix did with it, though.
I think the fact that poppy and her husband were full of so much hate that they just stayed in the house cause it was poppy that was the cause of Olivias problems
@@luvernment Poppy was mentally ill in her life and killed her kids, that's why William (the tall man with the hat) committed suicide (and also checked if the crain kids are alive, which is what he did in the scene with Luke)
The house is not really haunted, its more like the people in it. the house just tries to keep people in it by killing them and sort of tying their souls to the house
RUclips recommended one of your videos to me last night, I decided to watch it and I instantly got hooked! I have been binging all your videos all day today. You are pretty darn good at what you do, I’m so impressed by every single video I’ve watched. Keep doing what you’re doing dude! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
"Well, it turns out the house flips them..."
lmao. That's actually a great way of putting it.
Luke, Nell, Olivia and Dad are my favorite family members. They are all the sweetest and the most caring.
What about Theo.......
Olivia kinda wanted to kill them all tho
@@feermartsant not until the end when the ghost lady started brainwashing her, before that she really was so sweet and caring
@@feermartsant the house fucked her up, like she says to Hugh "not those last few days, those weren't us" or something along those lines
Nell, Luke, Theo and Olivia were my favorites.
Came in watching the show with horror expectations. Finished watching it with a lot of sorrow and grief, but truly in loved with the plot, psychological twists and emotional rush each and every episode provided. That one take of shifting scenes had one of the bests transitions and cinematography ever in the history of shows/movies that I had ever watched!
Yeah episode 5 and 6 were amazing... episode 5 shocking... episode 6 was a great directed.... Luke was my favorite sibling. there were hidden ghosts??? What..
My favorite sibling is actually luke
me too
I relate to him the most, yeah
Stacy 208 nell it was my favorite
Mine too. Possibly because I'm depressed af
Me too. I can't believe his dad said "Big boys know the difference between real and make believe". The kid is all of 6
years old. No they don't
The house manipulates them at the end. It still gets to eat and live on. BOOM - Hill House always wins! Fake happy ending, tho, when all of them face their demons in the outside world they buy some years of happiness... aka, a bargain.
the director originally wanted all the epilogue scenes have the vertical window in the background. To show that they never left the house but everyone got so attached to the characters and it was so sad he changed it to give them a happier ending.
@@brandonbrowning6309 bruh if they put that in the final version I would've been so sad.
@@brandonbrowning6309 Honestly? Would've prefered that ending. Would fit perfectly to the storyline and gave it a last 'twist'
Brandon Brownin
NodusTollens too cliché for a horror show to have an unresolved ending. Plus the director was right in his assumption. 10 hours of depressing shit is a lot to go through to not get some kind of positive resolution. The show would feel like there was no payoff for watching it.
I abolutely LOVED your transitions with that creepy music and the smoke over the names. Shoutouts to the editor - who may be LME himself. But boy, that was a nice touch
The whole “two storms” episode being filmed in one shot practically is one of the most amazing thing I have ever seen on film. So genius
