Presenting vintage Poe stories filtered through Mike Flanagan's deliciously dark lens, The Fall of the House of Usher will get a rise out of horror fans.

In Netflix’s The Fall of the House of Usher, the preservation of mood pays proper homage to the author’s words. The show’s social commentary, in turn, allows a retelling of an old story to resonate powerfully in our current moment. Go to Full Review

Mike Flanagan and his regular team of players close out a jaw-dropping era of TV terror with an Edgar Allan Poe adaptation that’s terrifying, tender, and a ton of fun. Go to Full Review
Pallavi Keswani The Hindu 01/19/2024
Flanagan pushes his own creative limits to experiment with fresh approaches. But as with most experiments, the person conducting it tends to tread carefully. Nonetheless, the show promises a unique watch, just ahead of Halloween. Go to Full Review

Angel F @angeldavidfb 6d Really nice story with really good characters. Already watch it twice. See more Taylor S @TaylorMadeShealy Dec 28 Another reviewer called this "woke bs" which is ironic because it’s woke bs to publicly hate this series. It has everything, the parts that seem a little extra, are extra on purpose adding humor to a well written, well acted, poetic series this show has something for everyone. The first time I watched it,I hadn’t seen any of Mike Flanagans movies/shows today I am a fan! I love that he uses the same actors in all of his projects! There is something beautiful about a chosen family doing what they love together and equally beautiful is how Flanagan has transformed a genre that I thought hated and creates something deeply meaningful every time! Cherry on top, Flanagan is in recovery and it shows in his work. Anyone that has the guts to look inwardly and choose to continually better themselves have a depth that gen. Pop lacks! Flanagan, "you are wonderful, you deserve to be wonderful, and you contain multitudes!" See more N S @Movieguyreviewthing Dec 6 Complete woke bs. Congrats we got a strong woMAN See more Ricardo d Nov 19 Não é uma série espetacular, especialmente se considerarmos que os 6 filhos do protagonista são descartáveis e portanto não geram catarse, mesmo que os atores tentem, o texto não ajuda. Mas vale a pena acompanhar especialmente pela personagem Verna (que para mim é a real protagonista) e pelo casal de irmãos (principalmente a versão jovem que tem muito mais desenvoltura na tela) A fotografia e iluminação são agradáveis e interessantes principalmente se você pausar alguns momentos. A história é boa, mas em dado momento fica cansativo pela repetição (tanto que o próprio protagonista chega a dizer que novamente ele iria ver seu filho morto dando um susto e tal). Talvez se fossem 3 filhos ajudaria, ou, se novamente a construção das personagens tivessem sido melhor trabalhados com mais nuances não sofreria um cansaço. Juno e Lenora são as únicas que em mim causaram uma catarse, a primeira mesmo sendo coadjuvante conseguiu transmitir sua persona em tela, a segunda até o próprio roteiro a dignifica como uma vítima da situação. Talvez se voltar a assistir, seria pelas múltiplas Vernas. O final deixou bem amarrado, mas a morte dos protagonistas achei frustrante. E jamais imaginaria que o nome da série seria um spoiller. See more Kenneth H @ThePickledHerring Nov 2 Original concept and having some background on Poe certainly adds an extra layer, but not quite polished — something just seemed a little off throughout the series and I think it was the soundtrack. Bruce Greenwood and Carl Lumbly mostly carry this. See more Dan Gabriel F Oct 25 Serialul este foarte bun, povestea este interesanta, iar fiecare episod aduce ceva nou. Recomand sa fie văzut de cei pasionați de suspans si horror. See more Read all reviews
