WORTH WATCHING: Modernized ‘House of Usher,’ ...

"Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House) turns to Edgar Allan Poe for inspiration in his latest horror project, a contemporary twist on The Fall of the House of Usher."

The Fall of the House of Usher
Netflix
SERIES PREMIERE
Mike Flanagan, the macabre mastermind behind modernized homages to Shirley Jackson (The Haunting of Hill House) and Henry James (The Haunting of Bly Manor), tackles Edgar Allan Poe’s oeuvre in an eight-part corporate immorality tale. The Ushers are now symbolic kin to the Sackler pharmaceutical dynasty, reaping a fortune from peddling addictive drugs. These venal, cruel vultures are dealt a bloody hand of karmic justice by a mischievous shape-shifting vixen (perfectly cast Carla Gugino) as the heirs of CEO Roderick Usher (Bruce Greenwood) meet inventively grisly fates inspired by Poe’s haunting inventions (a black cat, a tell-tale heart, even a pit-and-pendulum callback). Among the welcome additions to Flanagan’s repertory company: Mary McDonnell as Roderick’s ice-cold sister Madeline and Star Wars icon Mark Hamill as the family’s gravel-throated fixer, Arthur Pym.
