Quentin Tarantino is one of the most influential directors of our time who has very specific tastes. So, when he names a TV series as his favorite, it immediately draws attention.

Quentin Tarantino Names 'The Haunting of Hill House' His Favorite Netflix Series

In an interview with The Jerusalem Post, Quentin Tarantino stated:

“My favourite series, with no competition, is The Haunting of Hill House.”

The Haunting of Hill House is truly worth paying attention to – it's not just a story about a haunted house, it's a deeply emotional exploration of family, loss, and confronting the past.

What Is 'The Haunting of Hill House' About?

In 1992, the Crain family – parents and five children – moves into the abandoned Hill mansion. They plan to renovate and sell the house for a profit. However, their brief stay in the estate changes their lives forever.

In the present day, the once close-knit family has fallen apart. Each surviving family member bears the burden of the trauma suffered in that house and tries to avoid the others. They are forced to reunite by the tragic suicide of their youngest sister.

This event compels them to confront their past, face the ghosts that have haunted them for years, and uncover the truth about what happened to their mother on that fateful night.

Unlike Many Horror Projects, 'The Haunting of Hill House' Is Full of Well-Written Characters

The creators of The Haunting of Hill House achieved something rarely seen in the horror genre – they created a cast of vibrant, complex, and deeply empathetic characters. Each member of the Crain family has their own pain, fears, and trauma rooted in the past.

Thanks to talented screenwriters and a brilliant cast, including Carla Gugino and Timothy Hutton, viewers not only remember the characters' names by the second episode, but also begin to care about them.

And by the finale, you will genuinely fall in love with them.

Here, horror serves not as an end in itself but as a tool for revealing the drama of loss, anxiety, and the power of forgotten traumas that cannot be escaped.
