Damn funny and packed with memorable performances. Horror nerds will relish picking apart the film references, others may take a shine to tongue-in-cheek social satire, high-stakes drama, or gleefully sick gags.

"Not scary, not funny, but sometimes oddly insightful."

Hollywood Reporter

"The show struggles to hold up to the first part of its horror-comedy descriptor."

—

Paste

"(Shining Vale) has all of the best horror elements: a haunted house, a descent into madness, sex, drugs, Christianity, and Courteney Cox..."

—

A.V. Club

"A middling horror comedy rehash..."

—

IndieWire

"The show's likable cast, quirky genre inversions, and intriguing thematic throughlines still make its haunted house worth exploring."

—

Slash Film

"Clumsily nestled between a paranormal haunting romp and a mean-spirited family fable..."

—

IGN

"A remarkably solid tale, notwithstanding its considerable population of deranged characters and nonhuman conspirators."

—

Wall Street Journal

"Though this gender-swapped homage to The Shining struggles to land on a consistent tone, it's a welcome showcase for Courteney Cox..."

—

"The atypical characters and repurposed iconic horror scenes transform the familiar family sitcom format into a unique, era-bending horror-comedy depiction of inner demons."
