Netflix’s chilling new horror The Haunting Of Hill House achieves perfect 100 per cent fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes
It hasn't even been released yet, but the the streaming service's chilling new show is already getting glowing reviews
NETFLIX ‘s new horror show The Haunting Of Hill House is already getting rave reviews, after achieving a perfect 100 per cent fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The show, based on Shirley Jackson's 1959 horror novel of the same name, hasn’t even been released yet, but it’s already been awarded the impressive rating by the popular American review website for film and television.
Raving reviews keep pouring in from TV critics, as excitement continues to build for the show’s premiere in October.
GQ branded it one of “one of the best shows of the year” and “one of the most truly chilling of all time”.
Forbes magazine also said about the show: “The Haunting of Hill House is decent and very much strives for a more classical horror vibe relying less on gore and more on supernatural scares.”
The great reception from critics follows the release of the show’s trailer in a chilling two-minute video.
The clip shows the children of a family growing up in a haunted house question their mother about the scary things that could happen to them.
Cutting to scenes from the future, the now-adult siblings’ fears become real as we see a young girl lying dead in a coffin before rising up, and a woman possessed.
Starring Timothy Hutton, Carla Gugino, and Victoria Pedretti, the series was created by Gerald's Game director Mike Flanagan.
In ten episodes, it will focus on the emotional trauma that the family endured when growing up in the haunted Hill House mansion.
It’s not the first time the horror novel has had its story told on a screen.
In 1963, it was adapted in a film titled The Haunting, which was well-received by critics at the time.
