I really thought it was different, and mature. Henry Thomas, great to see him in this show, what a great actor.

Rated: A

The result is deeply creepy but unexpectedly moving, especially in the series' gorgeously paced midsection.

While bestowing upon us a story about the Crain family, [Flanagan] also touches upon the matters of grief, addiction, and healing; all in the horror setting.

Rated: A+

Henry Thomas leads a stellar cast dealing with a malevolent house that apparently loves the color turquoise.

Flanagan's appreciation for the classics in his Haunting projects proves compelling and unsettling.

I hate such back and forth stories. The house of Usher and this show had this common. Its so irritating that i simply started to ignore the whole show. You know when you finish 10 episodes in 20 minutes. its like reading 1 page 0f a 150 pages thesis.

Boring! The most boring thing i have watched for years. The idea is ok but the action is just boring. Episodes of pure “nothing” and the fear level is around zero.

SPOILERS alert: Fairly well done but I think some of Flanagan's other work is much better SPOILERS alert: Well, although I feel they did most of the 2018 Haunting of Hill House series well, I think it was at least two episodes too long, I didn't like how much back and forth between two periods in time there was (a rather extreme amount), plus re-playing handfuls of scenes in a different context. Mike Flanagan's "The Fall of the House of Usher" series was much better and succinct.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
