Quentin Tarantino, one of the greatest American directors and screenwriters, shocked fans by revealing his favorite Netflix series. Known for his disdain towards how streaming services are changing the film industry and baffled by why anyone would watch movies at home instead of the cinema, Tarantino surprisingly admitted he enjoys Netflix series. His top pick? “The Haunting of Hill House,” a horror series directed by Mike Flanagan, a horror specialist, who has four other series on Netflix including “The Curse of Bly Manor,” “Midnight Mass,” “Midnight Club,” and “The Fall of the House of Usher.”
Tarantino even allowed Netflix to premiere a re-edited version of his film “The Hateful Eight” as a four-part series, which is surprising given his stance on cinemas. Still, he remains skeptical about watching movies at home, believing cinemas hold an irreplaceable magic and that watching a film on the big screen is an incomparable experience.
This contradiction in Tarantino’s stance raises the question: are streaming services really killing cinemas or just changing how we consume content? With series like “The Haunting of Hill House” winning over audiences and critics alike, it’s clear Netflix and similar platforms have the power to create quality content that even the biggest film buffs appreciate.
If you thought cinemas were dying, Tarantino’s favorite Netflix series might be a sign that the film world is evolving, but the passion for great stories isn’t going anywhere. So, have you watched “The Haunting of Hill House” yet? Or are you still loyal to the cinema? Drop a comment and let’s see which side you’re on in this cinematic showdown!
