Hill House wasn't scary at all! Mainly, because most of spooky moments were in flashbacks. But I already knew that everything was going to be fine, so could not to care about characters' fate.
Also, Hill House was 90% drama and 10% horror. All heroes do is crying and complaining about life. In Bly Manor they at least sometimes joke. While HH6 is a dramatic masterpiece, BM5 is a tension masterpiece.
HH is more slow paced than BM. In HH, for first 5 episodes nothing happens! Weren't you bored when we see Luke stealing things from Steven's flat again? Were you surprised that Nell died in the manor in episode 5? I don't think so. First 5 episodes were just repeating the same story all over again from different point of you.
I liked the twist about ghost wanting to take over children's bodies more than that pointless Bent-Neck Lady revelation. But the ending is better in HH, because here it doesn't make any sense. It's good that here we know the lore of the mansion. Olivia's story was good.
In conclusion, I don't understand all of you, guys. HH was already slow paced, not scary at all and relied too much on drama. I guess, you just watched a different Hill House.
P.S. sorry for possible mistakes, I'm a foreigner.
