It is an American horror web series.Directed by Mike Flanagan.

Shirley Jackson was writing in the Modernist Period, when the study of psychology was finding eminence, and a remarkable significance was attributed to the realm of the unconscious, in shaping and controlling the life of a person.
Time was no more linear, in narrative, and that is manifested in a brilliant form in "The Haunting of the Hill House," where the past slides into the present, and the present slides stealthily into the future, merges, breaks away from, so efficiently, that we are left in complete admiration for the experts toying with the story.
The TV adaptation subverts in remarked proportions from the classic novel, but in my opinion, both have a flawless trajectory, and can be examined in its on form.
What is brilliant about the Netflix adaptation is that, in visuals, as much as there are supernatural appearances, ghostly apparitions, and recurrent figures that induce horror (that of the "Bent-neck Lady, etc) there is a parallel space, very well structured, for the terror that our characters face, the psychology disturbance, and the omnipresent tension in their lives.
After you've began watching it, by the fifth episode, the horror reaches its acme, with the exposed identify of the Bent-Neck Lady,
where you are forced to confront your definition of a "supernatural," or rather "ghost."
You have to understand that super-natural means anything that does not fit into the subscribed, and bracketed perimeters of the "natural;" it does not necessarily have to be bad or sinister, or harmful, but because we are not used to experiencing it within our usual territories of senses, it eventually turns out to be "abject," and when seen externally in a physical form, we are horrified.
Just like the fluids in your body, or just like explicit sexuality in the society.
The fifth episode almost looks like an anticlimactic act of terror turning to horror, as we witness the face of none but Nellie hanging from a noose, who realises that the demon she had been both chasing, and escaping from, since her tender age of six, was nobody else, but herself.
Thus, a numerous questions are projected:
Are the demons inside our head? Or
Are we the demons ourselves?
The story takes a gradual decline henceforth, as a long sigh of exhalation, as things start falling into place, the individual monologues of the siblings are documented, and finally with the death of the father, and his reconciliation with the mother, and the youngest sister, end the story on a peaceful note (not exactly, because they will, in all possibility, be forever haunted by the house that has its own cynical, and exceptionally intelligent mind, plus its own agenda)
that makes it sufficient, and I believe it would not be absolutely necessary to follow it up with a sequel.
A lot of critical assessment has been vested on how the show takes to a disappointing ending, but I think, it is absolutely alright to end it on a subtle tone, with things gradually returning to the normalcy, that the inhabitants of the Hill House had never known.
