In Netflix's 'Haunting of Hill House,' a Haunted Family Struggles with Grief
hi i wrote about Mike Flanagan’s great new Netflix series “The Haunting of Hill House.”
Tumblr media
Director Mike Flanagan is one of Hollywood's best under-the-radar horror filmmakers. He's found success on the big screen with his outstanding "Ouija: Origins of Evil" and "Oculus" and also on Netflix. He's got a few movies on the streaming service, including the intense cat-and-mouse game involving a deaf woman called "Hush" and an adaptation of Steven King's kink-gone-wrong thriller "Gerald's Game." Despite turning out several solid projects over the last few years, Flanagan has yet to join the upper echelon of horror auteurs — he's more of a filmmaker's filmmaker. (His next project? "Doctor Sleep" — an adaptation of Steven King's sequel to "The Shining.")
That could possibly change this week. Flanagan is returning to Netflix Friday with his take on "The Haunting of Hill House," loosely based on Shirley Jackson's 1959 gothic horror novella. The ten-episode series isn't a straightforward or typical haunted house tale — it's a thoughtful and atmospheric show that's made for adults, offering meditative thoughts about loss, death, grief and family relationships while still dishing out some truly terrifying scares.
"Hill House" follows the Crain family in both the past and present. In the past, the young family is living in, and flipping, Hill House, a creepy old mansion towering in the middle of western Massachusetts. Parents Hugh (Henry Thomas) and Olivia (Carla Gugino) have five children who help fix up the creaky home: Steven (Paxton Singleton), Shirley (Lulu Wilson), Theodora (Mckenna Grace) and twins Luke (Julian Hilliard) and Nell (Violet McGraw). But nothing is as it seems and as "Hill House" unfolds, the house's secrets history and the way in which it impacts the Crains plays out in terrifying ways.
In the present, when the Crain kids are adults, we learn that a bone-chilling event at Hill House has disrupted the family in a major way. Hugh (played by Timothy Hutton in the present) is estranged from his kids, who are each dealing with the ramifications of Hill House in their own way. Steven (Michiel Huisman) is an author, who spun his family's headline-grabbing tragedy into a book, earning a huge paycheck (plus royalties!). Shirley (Elizabeth Reaser) and her husband run a floundering funeral home. Theo (Kate Siegel) has gone on to become a child psychologist but is still struggling with some intense demons. Luke (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) is a drug addict, bouncing in-and-out of rehabs, and Nell (Victoria Pedretti) is still plagued by Hill House and other tragedies that have occurred in her adult life.
The first five episodes mostly focus on each of the Crain children, delving into the characters by cutting between the past and the present. Each episode highlights one of the Crain kids, fleshing them out and getting to the bottom of how the events at Hill House shaped who they are today — for better or for worse.
"Hill House" is often told out of order, with scenes playing out from different points of view. The first five episodes has a "Run Lola Run" set-up but with a spooky twist. Telling this story this way also allows Flanagan to make certain scenes pack a powerful and devastating punch; knowing the fate of a certain character and then watching how they got to their demise is awfully chilling.
Flanagan also trusts that his audience can follow the mostly nonlinear and the eerie threads of this family's tragic story. Episodes of "Hill House" build off each other in a slow-burning prestige TV way that has a wild payoff during the back half of the series. Episode five is a gut-wrenching hour-and-ten minutes with a brutal climax. Episode six is an impressive technical feat with Flanagan pulling off some incredible long tracking shots; his camera is hectic and swirls around the drama that plays out with the Crain family in the present day.
Mental illness and complicated family dynamics have been a prominent theme in horror in 2018. The deeply unsettling "Hereditary" examines a woman's inherited mental illness and how it plagues the ones she loves the most. On HBO's Southern gothic nightmare "Sharp Objects," a young woman's trauma and her mother's mental illness are at the center of this curdled family drama. "Hill House" takes these themes a step further, suggesting paranormal activity can be baked in one's DNA; that the supernatural is passed down from generation to generation and can eat away at a family from the inside out.
Flanagan's "The House of Haunted Hill" proves the filmmaker is at the peak of his craft. Though it's not perfect (again, thanks to the Netflix model the show is probably just a few episodes too long, and for some, it'll feel like an eternity getting there), there's much to admire here. Flanagan is an affective and considerate storyteller who injects humanity into this dark and traumatic family drama. He cares about the psychology of the Crain family and about their journey. His "Hill House" is a compassionate take on a modern horror story and one that's surprisingly powerful.

Jett, a crime thriller that premieres on June 14, 2019 on Cinemax, stars Carla Gugino as Daisy “Jett” Kowalski, a thief and heist mastermind. Because she’s the ultimate professional, being the mother of a seven-year-old child was not necessarily part her overall life plan, and although her unconventional parenting style is only one of many story arcs in Jett, those who enjoyed Gugino’s performance in Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House will notice another connection. Jett’s daughter Alice is played by Violet McGraw, who played the younger version of Nell Crain opposite Gugino’s Olivia Crain.
Sebastian Guttierez, who executive produces Jett alongside his partner Gugino, explained how the casting of McGraw was a fortunate circumstance of a tight schedule. “That was both by necessity and the advantage of having Carla as the center of this company of actors,” he said, “which is she really only had one week in between The Haunting of Hill House and starting Jett, and we just didn’t have time to audition and do chemistry reads with a bunch of child actors for this very important part, the part of Alice… it was really fortuitous.”
Gugino agreed that McGraw was particularly suited for the role of the daughter of a sometimes distant criminal mother who was just released from prison, a daughter who may have had to grow up a bit too fast. “As soon as Jett got the green light, I was like, ‘There is no other human being on the planet that I want to play Alice more than Violet McGraw,’” Gugino said. “I adore her, and she’s so good in it, and she’s like seven years old going on 42.”
Although Guttierez wasn’t as familiar with McGraw’s work as Gugino was, he quickly realized he had a real scene-stealer on her hands. “Once I started working with Violet, who is ridiculously skilled as an actor (she is so good!), I hadn’t seen Haunting because Haunting hadn’t come out,” he said. “Once I saw the kind of stuff that Mike Flanagan was making her do in The Haunting, I’m like, ‘We barely used Violet!’ In The Haunting they made her see the most horrible things, and she’s being traumatized. She had so much fun on our set, she’s like, ‘Today I get to sing and run around? Woohoo! Today I get to read a book with Carla? This is awesome!’ So that was a definite hat off to Mr. Mike Flanagan for casting Violet in Haunting because she is really perfect as Alice.”
In between all of the thrilling heists, underhanded intrigue, and shocking betrayals in Jett, the scenes between McGraw and Gugino really help establish Jett’s character and personality. “I think kids are survivalists, you know?” Gugino said. “Alice has a pretty strong head on her shoulders, and you know how you always try to be your parent to some extent until you decide you want to rebel and be something totally the opposite of your parents… Jett’s pragmatic nature has definitely been passed on to Alice, and in a weird way, even though Jett doesn’t see herself as a mother and she doesn’t have any experience as a mother, I think that Alice’s no-nonsense, straight-up honesty of kids is something that Jett can relate to.”
There are many relationships, both professional and personal, that will be explored for Gugino’s character when Jett premieres on June 14, 2019 on Cinemax, and for those looking to continue with members of the Crain family from The Haunting of Hill House in a completely different dynamic should check out the nine episode season which also features Giancarlo Esposito, Gil Bellows, Michael Aronov, and Elena Anaya.
