Watching The Haunting of Hill House for the first time!! ~ episodes 1&2 reaction ~

[@dlweiss]

OOOOOO, yes, this show is gonna turn you out. It brings the scares, the drama, and the heartbreak.

[@juwan9008]

it's literally a masterpiece tbh. the acting, the plot, the casting, the cinematography.

[@thatsthat2612]

@@juwan9008 it really is

[@tvnerd2007]

“It’s very depressing and dark” that’s actually one of the most accurate descriptions of the show I’ve heard.

[@SoImWatching]

But it's also very beautiful!

[@tvnerd2007]

@@SoImWatching it definitely is!

[@EchanteDante]

Can’t forget scary as hell

[@official-alibi]

as juice labs put in in their reaction "this show is sad, a big sad"

[@elphbwckd212]

That's literally the only description of this show I've ever heard. It isn't a groundbreaking take by any means.

[@katrinaceleste]

oh brad, honey, you aren't ready for the absolute HEARTBREAK this show is gonna bring you. get tissues cuz everything from ep5 onward is endless tears and depression (and it's the best thing ever cuz the writing is top tier)

[@naiderl]

I'd say ep4 onward. That one is so sad...

[@brizzleyoh]

The actors in this series are absolutely incredible. The adults and kids are remarkable. This is by far my favorite series on Netflix.

[@prettymuchbangtan]

Yes Brad! I have cancer and had chemotherapy yesterday so i feel like shit, your reactions make going through this a lot less painful, thank you for your reactions! ♥

[@moonlit_swimming_pool]

I love both Hill House and Bly Manor SO much. Both of these shows absolutely destroyed me emotionally. I cried at the end of Hill House but literally sobbed uncontrollably at Bly Manor.

[@JennyAnn]

I can't wait for Fall Of the House of Usher.

[@tom_j.]

I always look forward to people reacting to episode 5

[@rodenmaar]

I know right? It's always amazing to watch people experience THAT for the first time.

[@JerryAlmonte]

@@rodenmaar THAT! OMG

[@ris1111]

YES!!

[@MG-fy9uv]

It's a re-watch I think. He already knows.

[@rodenmaar]

@@MG-fy9uv He probably heard about it before and thought he had already watched it. It happens a lot with creators of react content. Although he mentioned he might have watched it when he was starting the episode, he then added a little nod when editing the video saying that he actually thinks he hasn't watched it before. I hope the text isn't too complicated to understand, I'm a little sleepy.

[@freyanatalie2132]

NOO CAUSE THE VIDEO YOU USED OF THE MAN SINGING THE F SHARP ONCE MADE ME WAKE MY HOUSE UP AT 3AM CAUSE I WAS CRYING SO HARD OF LAUGHTER HELP bringing back some core memories

[@Adeodatus100]

I've read the book, seen the 1960 movie, and this series, and I get goosebumps every time I hear "...and whatever walked there, walked alone." Welcome to Hill House!

[@danaekoloka9819]

This is legit one of my most favorite shows

[@Eh2125]

Me too babes

[@michelle6337]

I've just got to say that morticians who can do quality makeup are essential. The funeral home handling my mom severely fucked up her makeup, and the fact that that is the last image I have in my brain of her royally pisses me off. So a part of me understands Shirley's determination to take care of Nell herself.

[@ena3512]

I LOVE The Haunting Series so much. I was just thinking of rewatching so this comes out at a perfect time. You're gonna be scared shitless, you're gonna fall in love with the characters and the story. Good luck!!

[@HeatherVT8]

Same was thinking of rewatching for Halloween season

[@leighharrison3668]

Same.

[@itsjustjakeee]

Keep an eye out in the background. There's dozens of hidden ghosts that upon rewatching will give you CHILLS bc you don't notice them at first!! Like that scene of the dad telling steve to close his eyes as he carries him, as they're waiting to open the door, there's a man standing in the background the entire time.

[@david-jonballinger6638]

Don't spoil it :p

[@alexism3142]

Don't tell him that, otherwise he's gonna focus more on the background than what's actually going on in the scene. I'm sure he'll notice the ghosts while editing! Besides, the hidden ghosts are irrelevant to the plot or the understanding of the episodes, so there's no need for him to look for them

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

The entire point about the background ghost is to NOT consciously keeping an eye out for them. They are there so that your subconscious notices them and you think something is off, without knowing what it is.

[@dannielliebear5269]

Currently writing this during the intro so haven’t watched anything but I’m so looking forward to this! Mike Flanagan did such a good job on this series and the actors did AMAZING with each character. I can’t wait to constantly talk about this show ahahah

[@maloneaqua]

I have full empathy for Stephen. He’s not a therapist, being born first doesn’t mean you should have to shoulder everyone’s trauma, he has his own trauma. He’s just trying to function

[@katara2021]

Exactly!

[@BatmanFanGirl]

I have more sympathy for Stephen than Shirley. Stephen's anger and annoying traits come from his fear or loosing all his family members from mental illness. Shirley is just a hypocrite. LOL

[@rachels.8051]

I think one of the most beautiful things about the show is that each of the children’s perspectives represent a stage of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance). And because each of the first episodes is centered on one of the children, we are given enough information to be able to understand their perspective, even if we wouldn’t do things the way they do. You have enough empathy to care about and understand each of their perspectives and realize that ultimately, none of them are really wrong. It just takes them different amounts of time to work through and accept.

[@EditFlowzA]

i have empathy too but don't tell me as a big brother he has no responsibility to look after his little sister who is constantly suffering and even suffering worse. He had a lot of shortcomings and most of the times due to his own ignorance.

[@camillaabreu1967]

Luke and Theo are my faves. And the director, Mike Flanigan, is my fave too. You should also watch Mansion Bly and Midnight Mass also from Netflix, direct by him.

[@marcellaboehler9543]

Midnight Mass is perfection, it would be great if Brad could watch it

[@camillaabreu1967]

@@marcellaboehler9543 it is!

[@MH-hv1gf]

seconded for Midnight Mass! Honestly, Flanagan at his best imo

[@inga1462]

I'm so glad this won!! I'd love to see your reaction to Bly Manor afterwards, love that series even more than this one 😍

[@evierose195]

same! it has such a good storyline

[@thiagoassis7583]

OMG SOOO HYPED FOR THIS!!! I looove this show

[@ghostbird92]

It's so funny seeing that you had the same safety measures as I did against ghosts. I'd get SO sweaty wrapping my head up in a blanket because I felt like that would somehow protect me. I forgot how scary this show was. Despite being 30 yrs old, I had to sleep with the lights on after some episodes lol.

[@shototodoroki6193]

Same here although I am a young adult I would sleep with the fan and lights on

[@idontreallycare3857]

I'm so excited that you are watching this series! Mike Flanagan has some AMAZING stories to tell (this one, Bly Manor, and Midnight Mass are amazing) they are scary but I bet you're going to love them! Also, just so you keep in mind: this series talks a lot about how ghosts can be memories and/or decisions you regret (that and vengeful spirits of dead people) so some things in the series can seem like they could be demonic/ghostly entities or just something hunting them in the emotionally or mentally sense.

[@brynnakindle7935]

Yasssss! I love this series. Plenty of scares, drama, and damn good writing. Keep your eyes peeled for ghosts in the background when they're at hill house.

[@ems5454]

OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD! FINALLY, we're here. we're here starting this amazing show! i'm so excited

[@LindsUnhinged]

what i loved about this series that i found out a bit after i watched it was each child represents a stage of grief. and it goes in order of birth and it seeps through in their personalities and story lines.

[@erinlev12]

Unpopular opinion, but I love Steven. As the older sibling in my family, I relate to him so much hahah I'm SO excited for you to experience Hil House! I've rewatched this 5 times, and I always find something new, plus it's a comfort show for me at this point lmao, weird, I know, but the story has so many intricacies and has such a psychological approach to it with family trauma and bonds and it's just..... *chefs kiss* in every single way. Can't wait to watch the rest of your reactions!

[@katara2021]

I love Steven too. People like to forgive trauma response that seems tragic and pitiful like with nell but god forbid anyone becomes controlling or snappish. No sympathy for them even though they too were mentally impacted. It is not healthy and they should try to work on it but it is a genuine response to their fucked up childhood. Anyway he was the one other than his dad who had to watch his mother slowly unravel.

[@DeathsjesterKMNP]

The problem is that so many people are snap-judgement types, they decide in 5 minutes they dont like someone, and after that dont pay attention to anything about them, just automatically assume the worst in every situation, and best yet when something happens that they cant ignore to contradict their assumptions, they double down on their internal narrative because they cant admit they might have been wrong. All that is not to say Steve is a saint in any way, he has a lot of dickish behavior and attitude, but most of it has a good reason, but haters aren't gonna notice it, they'll just keep acting like he's a total asshole.

[@ibuprofriends]

@@DeathsjesterKMNP what he did to his wife cements him as a piece of shit in my mind, sorry!

[@FenderMade13]

I lost it when he tried to keep his eyes open. Then looked back down 😂😂

[@whenthe_sungoesmissing_4047]

Omg yes! BRAD! Throughout the series try to observe carefully through some scenes. They hide "ghosts", or other figures in the backround :)

[@passingby3184]

Love how you were so fixated and validating about the “therapy session.” It was an experience, not a story 👏👏

[@gustavo519]

I’m so excited for you to take this journey. This series was PHENOMENAL. Genuinely scary and absolutely beautiful and heartbreaking. ALSO: There are hidden ghosts in every single episode. Keep an eye out for them :)

[@itsjustjakeee]

One of the scariest & best series to ever grace netflix! It's a beautifully heartbreaking story about grief. It'll terrify you, make you sad, cry, laugh & the visuals are just haunting, pun-intended. Bly Manor is cute compared to Hill House (gorgeous). Cute, next to gorgeous, you know.. Gorgeous is gonna devour cute.

i never thought about it when i was watching this show, but after experiencing sleep paralysis and knowing that nellie has them later on, it makes so much sense for it to be that already in the beginning when she's sleeping on the couch with the way you can hear her breaths shorten and the way she's not moving. i didn't know what sleep paralysis was before experiencing them myself a few months ago (well i had them as a kid too, i just didn't know what they were)
