[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t like the final mixed messages in the series. Is Hill House a terrifying house of horror that you should stay far away from so it doesn’t get you too, or the place of light and love where you will be reunited in eternal happiness with your loved ones?

Maybe I missed something and need to watch again.[/quote]

No, you didn’t miss anything. I’m a big fan of the book and the original movie (not the horrific remake from 1999) and the show was spot on vis a vis the house until the last episode. The house would never have allowed them all just to leave. It would not have “made a deal.” The eternal promise absolutely would’ve been that you have to keep people out of the house, forever, because it is dangerous, full stop.

I overall liked the show and thought it was very respectful toward the source material. But the ending was totally from left field. [/quote]

People like schlocky happy endings.  For a horror genre, it ended on the tritest happiest notes it could for the characters.  What a let down.[/quote]
