As opposed to what the title suggests, the show provides more of an indication of the cursed house's origin. It is more about the unending and inevitable suffering that befall the people who visit or reside in that house. These suffering have been portrayed in excruciatingly shocking and disturbing ways. There were handful of occasions that left me agape with horror; not the jump-out-of-my-seat kind, but more primal and long-lasting, which in my opinion is truly horrifying. There were at least two scenes that shook me to my core. One lasts for a few seconds, and the horrifying visual is off screen, but the sound, unfortunately, isn't. The second scene is more protracted, but it plays with your expectations in a very twisted way, sucker punching you with the extremes of horrors that the living could be capable of. Speaking of horror, the jump scares are next-to-none in this show, and so you may be a tad disappointed if that was your only motivation for watching this show . Instead, you will find multiple story strands, overlapping and interfering with one another, to convey a deep and densely horrifying experience.

All the actors did a fine job, but I was more impressed by the very economical and precise screenplay, the sublime background score (the end credits score is quite mesmerising) and the editing.

So, if you are willing to invest for the gradual return of pure horror instead of instant gratification of jump scares, then you may like the show, and find it as unrelentingly disturbing and shocking as I did.
