I also personally think Hill House was meh, but only compared to Bly. As its own thing and compared to most horror tv shows, it’s great! I get people think Hill House was scarier, but almost nothing was truly scary in it. Jumpscares are good for a startle, but losing your identity and loved ones is far scarier. I think psychological horror is much more lasting that the jumpscares of HH, but to each their own. I give Bly a smooth 9/10 and HH a 6.5-7/10. I wasn’t attached to almost any of the characters of HH because it felt a lot less grounded. I also watched it after Bly (and I love Turn of the Screw) and people hyped up HH a lot and it disappointed me greatly. Which is mostly my fault for letting other people dictate how I should view a show.

First off, I agree with you 100% in letting other people hype things up and it being ruined because of that. I agree that jump scares can be grossly overused, but I was a big fan of how HHH used them. Bly manor was good, but I still give Hill House the edge. Bly really had an uneasy feeling for a while, but it felt more like a mystery/romance/horror combo. I'm a big believer that you need a combo between jump scares and general psychological atmosphere. If you go too far in either direction it's not as good. Although if I had to pick one or the other, I'd agree with you. If you go too far into jump scares it's garbage whereas too far into just psychological horror can still be interesting. Did you like Hereditary and Midsommar? Also how did you feel about The VVitch and The Lighthouse? - Corey
