Single DeBaser review of The Haunting of Hill House praises Flanagan's technical skill, framing and use of horror conventions. It criticizes the series' shift toward prolonged family drama and slow pacing. The reviewer stopped at episode six, calling the work technically flawless but ultimately disappointing.

For:Fans of horror and supernatural TV, viewers interested in haunted-house stories and character-driven family drama.

 "No living organism can continue for long to maintain their mental health in conditions of absolute reality: even birds and grasshoppers, they say, can dream. Hill House, insane, stood alone against the hills containing within itself only darkness, it had been so for eighty years and could remain that way for another eighty. Inside, the walls continued to be upright, the bricks stood next to each other, the floors were firm, and the doors sensibly shut. Silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone".
