The Haunting of Hill House is an American supernatural horror drama television miniseries created and directed by Mike Flanagan, produced by Amblin Television and Paramount Television, for Netflix, and serves as the first entry in The Haunting anthology series. It is loosely based on the 1959 novel of the same name by Shirley Jackson. The plot alternates between two timelines, following five adult siblings whose paranormal experiences at Hill House continue to haunt them in the present day, and flashbacks depicting events leading up to the eventful night in 1992 when the family fled from the mansion. The ensemble cast features Michiel Huisman, Elizabeth Reaser, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Kate Siegel, and Victoria Pedretti as the siblings in adulthood, with Carla Gugino and Henry Thomas as parents Olivia and Hugh Crain, and Timothy Hutton appearing as an older version of Hugh.
The series premiered on Netflix on October 12, 2018. The Haunting of Hill House received critical acclaim, particularly for its acting, directing, and production values. A follow-up series by Flanagan titled The Haunting of Bly Manor, with most of the same crew and some of the same cast but a different story and characters, was released on October 9, 2020.
On April 10, 2017, Netflix announced that it had ordered a 10-episode adaptation of the classic horror novel The Haunting of Hill House, with Mike Flanagan and Trevor Macy as executive producers, and Amblin Television and Paramount Television as co-production companies. It is the first scripted series to be made for Netflix by Amblin.[9]
Production on the series began in October 2017 in Atlanta, Georgia, with location filming in the city and its environs.[10][11] Bisham Manor, former name of the property located in LaGrange, served as the exterior of "Hill House".[11][12] The house's interior settings were filmed at EUE/Screen Gem Studios in Atlanta.[11]
On Rotten Tomatoes, The Haunting of Hill House has a 93% rating based on 103 reviews, with an average rating of 8.4/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "The Haunting of Hill House is an effective ghost story whose steadily mounting anticipation is just as satisfying as its chilling payoff."[16] On Metacritic, it has a weighted average score of 79 out of 100 based on 18 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[17]
Corrine Corrodus of The Telegraph graded the series with a 5/5 rating, calling it "the most complex and complete horror series of its time."[18] Brian Tallerico of RogerEbert.com gave unanimous praise to the Netflix adaptation, describing it as "essential viewing", and stated that "[the show] contains some of the most unforgettable horror imagery in film or television in years."[19] David Griffin of IGN gave the series a rating of 9.5 out of 10, calling it "a superb and terrifying family drama",[20] and Paul Tassi of Forbes described it as "absolutely fantastic" and stated that "it may actually be Netflix's best original show ever."[21]
Horror author Stephen King, who holds considerable admiration for Jackson's novel, tweeted about the series, "I don't usually care for this kind of revisionism, but this is great. Close to a work of genius, really. I think Shirley Jackson would approve, but who knows for sure."[22][a]
In August 2019, it was announced that The Haunting of Hill House would be released on Blu-ray and DVD from Paramount Home Entertainment on October 15, 2019. The release includes extended director's cuts of three episodes ("Steven Sees a Ghost", "The Bent-Neck Lady" and "Silence Lay Steadily"), all of which also have audio commentaries from Flanagan, and an additional audio commentary for "Two Storms".[31]
In October 2018, Flanagan said that a possible second season would not continue the story of the Crain family, specifying, "it's done."[32] On February 21, 2019, Netflix renewed the series for a second season as an anthology series, titled The Haunting of Bly Manor, and based on The Turn of the Screw by Henry James.[33] It was released on October 9, 2020.[34][35][36] The second season features the return of several Hill House actors portraying new characters, including Victoria Pedretti,[37] Oliver Jackson-Cohen,[38] Henry Thomas,[39] Kate Siegel, Katie Parker and Carla Gugino.[40]
Never, and I mean never, will I understand how Kevin Federline, father to Britney Spears' children and, well, that's it, landed a role on One Tree Hill. Kevin Federline played a guy called Jason Federline (!), the arrogant, pain-in-the-ass lead singer of a rock band hiding the talents of Kate Voegele in season five. In fairness, Federline is pretty good in the role. But, like, what?
This was a weird one. The now-TV host made famous by Extra and E! News played Emily Chambers, who fell in love with Keith Scott in season two and promptly stood him up at the altar. This wasn't because she had cold feet, mind you, but because Keith's brother (and eventual murderer) Dan Scott had paid her to pretend to fall in love with him. Rather than confess to her almost-husband, she made a run for it, as you do.
Dawson, what are you doing? In his season six stint as erstwhile movie director Adam Reese, James Van Der Beek snorts coke, yells at Lucas, and is generally Not A Good Guy. His character is hired to direct the movie adaption of Lucas' book about his high school experience, which is all very meta, and ultimately comes to nothing anyway. So we bid adieu to Adam Reese.
Now an international superstar best known for True Blood and also for being married to Sofia Vergara, Joe Manganiello was once just Owen the Bartender, a recurring character who showed up in seasons five, six, and seven. Owen the Bartender made a mean martini and dated Brooke for a while, but ran for the hills when she told him she wanted kids. A year later, he came back and had sex with Millicent, who was battling a drug addiction at the time and, oops, still dating Mouth. Then Owen the Bartender came back a year later, but now just as Millicent's friend. Okay, then.
Before he was professionally terrifying in American Horror Story, Evan Peters played a kid stuck in the foster system named Jack Daniels. (Yup. Jack Daniels. I don't know, either.) Jack was the longtime best friend and, later, love interest of Samantha, Brooke Davis' foster daughter. Jack Daniels was also averse to ever getting a haircut, apparently.
In one of the most truly bonkers storylines of the entire series (which is a bold statement, I realize), Torrey DeVitto played Nanny Carrie, Jamie's nanny turned evil nurse turned homicidal maniac. After this unforgettable season six storyline (which I do not mean in a good way), DeVitto joined Pretty Little Liars as Spencer Hastings' older sister, who was involved in only marginally less bizarre storylines.
You probably recognize B.J. Britt as the faux-Bachelor in UnREAL, or Antoine in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but, lo and behold, he was also on One Tree Hill in both seasons one and six. Britt shows up briefly in season one in a forgettable role as Nathan's basketball opponent, and then makes his re-entry in season six as, well, still Nathan's basketball opponent, this time in the NBA.
Yes, that is Nick Lachey, and no, I will never understand this one, either. Lachey plays himself, by which I mean a former member of 98 Degrees looking to resurrect his career, and finds himeslf used as a pawn by Brooke Davis to make Julian jealous. Also, there's a weird mix-up between Lachey and Haley James Scott, because they both want to record the same song...so they both record it, I guess? And also, he has sex with a woman who looks just like Brooke, but isn't Brooke? I don't know, the whole thing is odd.
Kevin Kilner played Peyton's Hot Dad Larry in seasons two and three, and then disappeared forever (which probably contributed to some of Peyton's angst). Larry was out at sea a lot, and once was thought to have drowned, which also caused a lot of angst for Peyton. (Good news: He was fine.) He was a loving dad (ish) for a couple of years when Peyton was a teenager, but never showed up when Peyton and Lucas became parents to baby Sawyer, which kind of sucked.
This ill-thought-out cameo is now in the history books as one of music's worst-ever TV cameos, per Billboard. Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy plays Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy, who meets Peyton at a show and then magically appears weeks later at a getaway in the woods, where Pete and Peyton kiss with palpable awkwardness. Pete, I adore you, truly I do, but this was a terrible idea.
Let me try to keep this straight: First, Peyton finds out she's adopted. She meets her birth mom, Ellie, who dies literally weeks later. Peyton discovers Ellie had a son, her half-brother Derek. Derek and Peyton meet, but unfortunately Derek turns out to be a violent stalker and not her brother at all. Real Derek then shows up to save Peyton from Fake Derek. Which brings me to this: Real Derek is played by Ernest Waddell, who rose to fame later on The Wire and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Which is for the best, because I suspect Waddell, like me, would have a hard time explaining his exact role on One Tree Hill.
Dawnn Lewis has been in pretty much everything: The Cosby Show, The Simpsons, This Is Us, the new Veronica Mars, Futurama, Days Of Our Lives, you name it. She also starred briefly in One Tree Hill as the grieving mother of Q, a.k.a. Quentin Fields, who was shot in a grocery store in season six in one of One Tree Hill's least crazy and most genuinely upsetting moments.
Best known as Morgan Brody on CSI, Elisabeth Harnois once played Shelley, a Tree Hill High student in season four who founded Clean Teens, a group for committed high-school virgins. Sadly, this all went to hell when Shelley fell for Mouth McFadden and promptly had sex with him in an upstairs bedroom at a house party (as high schoolers are apt to do). Shelley was so consumed by guilt afterwards that she promptly dumped Mouth and broke his heart. This was the end of Shelley.
