The Haunting of Hill House
Grief is a haunted house, and everyone in the family has their own room. 🏚️
Who it's for
The ghosts work as metaphors for the memories, guilt and unspoken family history that keep 'haunting' the Crain siblings into adulthood, which gives language to how old pain intrudes on the present.
Feelings it meets
What it is
The Haunting of Hill House is a 2018 Netflix supernatural horror drama created and directed by Mike Flanagan, loosely based on Shirley Jackson's 1959 novel. It alternates between the present day and flashbacks to the Crain family's time at Hill House, leading up to the night in 1992 when they fled the mansion, an experience that profoundly affected mother Olivia.
