Critics Consensus

It may not be as scary as its predecessor, but with plenty of spooky tricks inside its haunted halls and a strong sense of heart, The Haunting of Bly Manor is another solid entry into Mike Flanagan's growing horrorography.

The Haunting of Bly Manor: Miniseries | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Alexandra Heller-Nicholas ABC Radio (Australia) Flanagan has brought a literary classic to life for an entire new audience with a vision uniquely his own. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 21, 2020 Full Review The Haunting of Bly Manor: Miniseries | Rotten Tomatoes (2) John Doyle Globe and Mail There is a lot of explanatory talk, taking away the subtlety of Henry James's stories. Still, if a distracting, longwinded spooky story is what entertains you now, you've got that, right here. Oct 19, 2020 Full Review The Haunting of Bly Manor: Miniseries | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Valerie Anne Autostraddle The season does what Mike Flannagan and his team does best: takes a ghost story and seamlessly weaves a love story into it. Oct 19, 2020 Full Review The Haunting of Bly Manor: Miniseries | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Victor Pineyro Seventh Art Studio Mike Flanagan flawlessly mixes the psychological horror and haunted house genres to develop a show that takes its time for a slow-burn fright that definitely hits. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 8/10 Apr 25, 2024 Full Review The Haunting of Bly Manor: Miniseries | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Zofia Wijaszka AwardsWatch The Haunting of Bly Manor is, as Flora would say, perfectly splendid. Its not a ghost story, but, unambiguously, a terrifying love story. Its also a tale about grief and mourning that we have for the loved ones that pass. Rated: A Feb 11, 2022 Full Review The Haunting of Bly Manor: Miniseries | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Kristy Strouse Wonderfully Weird and Horrifying A unique, imperfect look at life, death and love, The Haunting of Bly Manor is another strong entry from Mike Flanagan.

Henry C I enjoyed this and would recommend it to anyone who enjoyed Hill House - but unfortunately it doesn’t quite manage to replicate the intrigue that Hill House produced. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/18/25 Full Review Darragh W The haunting of hill house was absolutely brilliant this was a massive letdown Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/29/24 Full Review Mike P Pleasing update of Henry James' Victorian Era horror masterpiece Turn of the Screw...By horror maestro Mike Flanagan...An appropriately creepy and stylish slow-burn classic about possession...And a bizarre cat and mouse game that ensues between an impressionable young governess, and her wards, two very strange children, in a haunted ancient castle in England. Well cast, (Flanagan is a bit slavishly devoted to the same actor's stable I've noticed; though; he reminds me of Woody Allen that way); well-paced; suspenseful, with effective set pieces. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/17/24 Full Review María C Me gustaría darle más estrellas. Es mi serie favorita de Flanagan. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/03/24 Full Review Andrew M A perfectly moody ghost story and beautiful multi-love story all wrapped up in one series. imo, this is Flanagan’s greatest work (so far). Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/26/24 Full Review Iván P Sin tener el nivel de su predecesora, es muy buena igualmente. Muy buenos últimos episodios y cierre de la historia. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
