Season 1, Episode 8
8/10
Another solid episode that seemingly sets up the concluding episodes

Hugh and Steven go looking for Luke whilst Theo and Shirley confront each other.

This is a relatively short episode that answers some questions about Hill House. It also delivers one fantastic scare moment and overall feels like its teeing us up for the final chapter of the series.

I'm not going to discuss plot points because there is too much that can be revealed. It frustrated me by not giving more answers, but it does offer up enough to suffice for the time being, albeit using expositional dialogue.

Performances are all excellent with Kate Siegel standing out during one monologue sequence with a very emotional delivery. Elizabeth Reaser is on par and they play off each other well in a number of scenes.

When the big jump scare comes, it is so out of the blue it should make the most hardened horror fans flinch. Well done to the writers and filmmakers for executing that part so well, along with all the cinematography, editing, transitions and visuals that are up to the usual high standard of the series.
