Why Critics Are Raving About The Haunting Of Hill House
That sweet 100% Rotten Tomatoes score promises to get your blood pumping.
Netflix's latest horror series has got a selection of critics all hot under the collar already, achieving a highly coveted '100% Fresh Rotten Tomatoes' score since September 25th with more reviews still set to roll in. Whilst it's early days for the new addition to Netflix's vast bank of originals, there's plenty working in the TV show's favour that suggests the favourable attention isn't simply a media ploy before release.
The streaming giant has been producing a steady flow of excellent television content for the past few years, banking on titles such as Stranger Things, Dark, and Mindhunter for solid creepy content; and that's to say nothing of the runaway success of shows like Orange is the New Black and their take on Jessica Jones and other Marvel properties. Netflix know what they're doing when it comes to creating engaging, unique franchises, so it should come as no surprise that The Haunting of Hill House is lining up neatly with their dedicated Originals brand.
What makes The Haunting of Hill House that much more interesting is that is already has a solid source material. Based on Shirley Jackson's 1959 novel of the same name, the narrative is described by Netflix as: "flashing between past and present, a fractured family confronts haunting memories of their old home and the terrifying events that drove them from it."
