Starting almost a month ago the buzz on The Haunting of Hill House really took off. People were declaring it great and the first truly great horror show and all sorts of things that set me up for disappointment. I mean, some consider the source material the greatest haunted house story of all time and people said this could be better. That’s a whole lot of praise. So I watched it this weekend and I was unsure at the start. I thought it was a good show but perhaps light on the horror. Or like it was a “horror” show in the sense that it might have ghosts but it was really meant for normal people who didn’t love being scared. I was wrong. It just established a fantastic base by really getting us to know the characters and slowly dripping in the scares and ghosts. I am about half way through and am loving it so far. It really has struck a great tone. I care about the characters, even though a lot of them are assholes. I feel even more for the kids. This is Victoria Pedretti who has been in almost nothing ever. She plays poor, tragic Nell. Who I really felt for both as a kid and as an adult. It’s a hard life and something about her performance just made me very sad every time she came on screen. I guess the isolation. It really weighed on me. I liked it a lot and I like her a lot and I wanted to point out how great an October show this is to anyone who is interested. Today I want to fuck Victoria Pedretti.
