Haunting Of Hill House Color Grading

The Haunting of Hill House's Awful (?) Grading I watched the first episode, the grade for the house at the start was fine, but when it moved to the home I simply could not watch anymore, my eyes were so offended by the awful grade and skin tones.

I wanted to recreate the contrasting colours from The Haunting of Hill House. The Netflix series has aggressive colour grading to aid the story telling so it was quite a challenge to reproduce.

The 2.00:1 framed AVC transfer is absolutely magnificent on Blu-ray, and comes with a VERY heavily stylized look to it that varies from scene to scene. The overall color grading is bathed heavily in a blue gray fog that opens up to green/yellow hues in daylight, while shifting back to that blue/gray that just saturates the darker images.

I'm not a cinematography buff or anything but the color grading in this show is awful. I spent ten minutes trying to "fix" my tv before I realized the show intended for things to be so yellow. Or so blue. Or yellow and blue in the same scene depending on the angle of the shot. It's inconsistent and most importantly looks bad.

White in most scenes isn't white. It's more of an off-yellow. I could understand this color grading more if they were maybe showing the "good times" in a slightly cheerier color scale, but instead, it's used in every scene. "The Haunting of Hill House" makes up for this in the camera work.

The ghost? who leads Abigail away is also wearing blue Hugh often wears blue GREEN Poppy's dress Olivia's robe during the storm and leading up to the last night I believe Olivia's outfit on arrival to Hill House is green (interestingly, not sure if this scene really happened because of the color of her outfit combined with what she says to Hugh.

How Netflix's The Haunting of Hill House uses color to underscore its horror It plays with your mind.

Plus it's miles away from being scary or horror, they have little to no knowledge on how to build up a creepy momentum (watch Hereditary) without relying on jumpscares, which is a very cheap way to make a good horror, and no, color grading in blue won't make the series any more creepy or spoo00ky.

A cinematographer may obsess over the most subtle differences of light, colour and framing, but their work has a massively defining impact on films. I came to appreciate this working as the cinematographer on a short university reproduction of the Netflix horror series The Haunting of Hill House. Working through the pre-production, shoot and post.
