Eric Bisson Same.. cried in like every episode

[@billllions]

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.

Chuck Franco I legit pulled back when they mentioned that in the show lmao 🤣

[@karmagrl76]

But they have horseback riding, man!

[@ShannaRiley]

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.

[@maggiemcfly5267]

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.

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.

[@billllions]

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.

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.

[@plaster.art.ho3]

that scared the living shit outta me

[@Dezdichado1000]

Nell's husband asking "Do you drink coffee" and Nell's first reaction is one of the most adorable things ever.

[@LoveDrake99]

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.

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.

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.

I have 3 other siblings.

[@ghinanaeem5723]

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.

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

[@evilregal538]

@@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

[@rociohernandez3077]

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.

[@kingbean112]

That's exactly what I thought was going to happen so I prepared myself for devastation.

[@juliansmit3770]

That would’ve broke me

[@soonsims]

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?

I see some of the darkest stuff imaginable through my work. For years I was unable to find TV that would give me the chills, as the reality I see daily is much, much worse. Thank you Netflix for helping me get scared again and redirect some of that fear to something I can enjoy and explain.

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

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.

[@ibonnieth2306]

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!

[@Emily967]

This series was like living poetry. It’s hard to take it all in. I don’t usually watch films/programs like this but I fancied watching a horror film and settled on this and was absolutely hooked. It was just incredible, the acting, the storyline, the cinematography, the direction... it was just incredible. I would watch it all again, but to be honest it absolutely terrified me. I hated the CGI ghosts - I was hoping they wouldn’t be as scary as they were. I’m still not sure whether they were scary or menacing or just curious or why some ghosts were really demonic looking and other ghosts normal looking? Were some of the ghosts evil? Why did Olivia kill herself? was that the ghosts doing? Also why did some of the ghosts actively try and harm them? why, what was their purpose? What were the ghosts relationship to the house? Why are there so many there? I feel like the family should have been more interested in the history of the house to help educate the viewer. Why is this house there? who built this house? What is the purpose of it? I want to know more background / research / history it’s just that, without that, I’m finding it even scarier. There is no denying that this series is really very good, but it’s absolutely terrifying and somethings aren’t very well explained and some of the ghosts are absolutely terrifying, like the hovering man - he is absolutely frightening! I will be having nightmares about him for weeks! The two youngest ones were plainly terrified and nothing could help them! The ending got to me though, and I did find myself tearing up. Especially the final scenes with Abigail and her old parents. The old lady choosing to finally go there at night and die to be with her children. Broke my heart.

[@Dislob]

" I want to know more background / research / history it’s just that, without that, I’m finding it even scarier. " That's the point. They leave us wondering what is happening. It wouldn't be as scary if the story explained everything perfectly. There has to be some mystery, some unpredictability. The more you watch, the more questions appear. Even when we get answers, it ends up making creating new mysteries. This series was filmed in a way that keeps the viewer constantly on the edge of their seat wanting to know more.

[@emilybean8458]

I highly recommend reading the book that inspired the show. It gives lots of background (although the characters are different).

[@Cynthia-ss8ik]

@@emilybean8458 I loved Shirley Jackson, as a teen and I might have read this before but a re-read of her stuff might be in order.
