Solid episode with some standout moments
snoozejonc27 October 2020
Nell's funeral takes place as Hugh reflects on the past.

This episode focuses more on Hugh and some of his memories from Hill House. It starts to edge the overarching story towards an explanation, but it really only sets up a couple of key questions that as a viewer I want to see answered. I'm guessing the answers will come in the last few episodes. There are some interesting reveals, but I felt a bit frustrated after several hours of viewing it hasn't revealed more, but nevertheless there are some great scenes that lift it.

I think the scenes with Sheriff Beckley and Mr Dudley are excellent. These are a credit to a superb, quirky performance from Keith Arthur Bolden doing a one man good cop bad cop routine, and one incredibly emotional monologue delivered by Robert Longstreet. Also, the creepy scene with the hole in the wall was so well done that it made my girlfriend look the other way out of fear.

As always the cinematography, editing, transitions and lighting are fantastic and make the atmosphere just right for the story.

It ends on what feels like a cliffhanger but something tells me we're not going to get answers for a little while yet.

Incidentally this was the first time for me to notice one of the hidden background ghosts and it makes that scene creepier when you rewatch it knowing that its there.

Not my favorite episode in the show, but still really well acted and not without some good scares. The graveyard stuff with Luke was really unsettling and the ending scene with the "dream house" was really well done. I think it's nice that we get to learn more about Hugh's past during this Eulogy episode. That probably saved the writers some time. I thought the basement stuff in Hill House was extremely chilling. The photograph legitimately gave me chills and this episode probably has one of the most well hidden ghosts ever...

Good episode in a season full of great episodes so far.

Warning: Spoilers
This episode opens with young Dad in the Sheriffs office.

+1 Star for Dad is now talking regularly with his wife's Ghost

-1 Star for Theo's girlfriend showing up for the funeral, saying she 'read the obit' to find out Theo's sister had passed. No one reads Obits. No one.

When young Dad and young Steven are back in HH, they hear scratching in the walls while dealing with the mold and water damage.

+1 Star for Luke's speech at the funeral, very touching.

+1 Star when they are all seeing Nell and Mom at the actual burial....

+1 Star when Dad finds William Hume , the cane man, walled up in the walls of his house in the basement!!! Another ghost of Hill House!!! Hahahaha

Haha, then Dad and THEO see crawling Nell ghost....and the destroyed FOREVER HOUSE.

And at the end Sheriff questioning Young Dad and the ending at he runs toward the open red door.....

Slight glitch in the story here but....8/10

S1.E7 - What's going on inside the red room?

(S1. E7) My Live Reaction / Review for The Haunting of Hill House Season 1 Episode 7 ''Eulogy''. The previous episode was good and I gave it a rating of 9.3/10. Let's see if this one is better or worse. So what exactly happened to Hugh's wife? Is Hugh talking to himself? Well, he is definitely talking to his dead wife, that's disturbing. At least this time they are not fighting during the funeral. The previous episode was very intense with all the fighting. Something inside the wall is making some noise but I don't think its rats. I really enjoyed Mr. Dudley's story. I really wanna see whats inside the red room. Luke sees things and he knows its real. Steven of course tells him that is just his imagination, I hate Steven. Inside the wall was a dead man? So no rats, I was right. Both Theo and Hugh saw a ghost? Nice. So ill have to wait till I watch the next episode to see whats going on inside the red room? That sucks. Overall this episode was good and I enjoyed it. My rating is 9/10.

A good cliffhanger here as amidst some of the odd writing for this show there is still the one dramatic thing going for it: what is the deal with the Red Door.

Maybe we will get that answered soon. Still, it seems like this show drags and drags for so long without a true plan.

Worse than the previous episodes
chapardarparisa26 June 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The most part of this episode was boring and nothing special happened. The Family gathered for funeral of the youngest member of the family and they all had problem with each other . But the worst idea was the relationship between Theo and his brother in law .

It is obvious all of the character have some complicated characteristic . But it is not a good idea to ruin the character of a lesbian girl like that!

And the milestone of this episode was the end of that . When a haunted lady or a ghost attacked to Theo and his father also saw that. And after that the red room was finally opened .

Boring one
ranjeetkumar-9862329 August 2021
This episode is really boring and slow. And yeah it's even different from other episodes too. Like the episodes from 1-6 based on each character but this one different and boring.
