The Fall of the House of Usher: Netflix 10/12

This was the top of the page on my google search for fall of the house of usher trailer

 

looking forward to this but really want a full trailer

also using Nevermore and the Raven mask bothers me unless is supposed to be some sort of Poe anthology and not strictly a retelling of Usher

 

I’m def all about this but it doesn’t appear to be a modern retelling of Usher in the slightest. Def more an amalgamation of Poe’s anthology

 

Fucking love Flanagan's stuff, so I'm very excited for this. Haunting of Hill House remains one of my all-time favorites.

 

Really sucks that Frank Langella was fired for possibly (high likely) being a creepy asshole because he would be absolutely perfect as Rodrick Usher

 

first 2 eps were good

 

Finished the first one and it was really good

 

Done the first two as well, enjoying it

 

Up through four, not exactly what I expected but it is very good.

 

First Ep felt like this series is gonna be more of a creepy mindfuck type series than a scary horror type like Hill House. That accurate?

 

It’s Poe so it’s going to be really creepy.

 

yes but largely because Poe's work (and specifically the stories this show uses as the basis for its various eps) has much more to do with "mental" terror like paranoia, guilt, insanity, dementia etc than traditional blood and guts gore or shocking jump scares

 

It’s got some pretty good jump scares and gore

 

Laughed audibly at the "she's right behind you" scene in episode 1. Ghost-mom was like "not gonna turn around? aight Imma go make a sandwich"

 

Carla Gugino is still so incredibly hot.

 

Just finished the series and it’s great

 

Yeah that was awesome. Right up there with Hill House as Flanagan's best

 

Midnight Mass is up there. Just started it again

 

Yeah I’d rank it #2 in the Netflix Flanaverse.

 

The Annabel Lee poem recitation in the final episode

 

And if you're ever in the Richmond, VA area, stop by the Poe museum.

Finished over the weekend. Definitely enjoyed it, but I think I'd slot it into #3 on my list of Flanagan's Netflix series.

1) Hill House
2) Midnight Mass
3) The Fall of the House of Usher
4) Bly Manor

I haven't watched the Midnight Club yet (honestly not sure why), so that's next on my list when I can get around to it.

 

That’s my order as well. Midnight Club is #5

 

I think Bly Manor suffered by being right after Hill House and another Haunted House show - it was still very good.

Midnight Club was dog shit.

 

I liked this a lot, even though the last episode got a bit transparently preachy

 

Finished this finally. Enjoyed it. Impressive writing to weave all the stories together into one while each episode was a story on its own. Enjoyed all the little Easter eggs too. Poe is the Goat. Still like Hill House and maybe midnight mass better.

 

Hill House is like the pinnacle of tv horror. It might never be topped
