Mike Flanagan is one of the most influential horror filmmakers of our generation. And The Haunting Of The Hill House is one of the main reasons behind his reputation.

The narrative swings between two timelines and follows five siblings whose lives are still tainted by the strange events that occurred at Hill House, their old home.

Meanwhile, one of the best and most scary aspects of The Haunting of Hill House is the lack of a concrete explanation for how the evil inside this house came to be and how long has it been there?

“It had stood for 80 years and might stand for 80 more.”
