On their own, as a film, the changes made almost betray the claustrophobic prose of Poe’s story.

A story with more hyperbole (and therefore subtext) than I remember! Its protestations barely mask Usher's curse.

A Roger Corman "great" with Vincent Price dominating even the frames he isn't in. It captures the Poe story in unintended ways . . . .

Finished #TheFallOfTheHouseOfUsher. Really enjoyed it but it felt too sadistic at points— like the characters are written just to be to be extra unlikeable and deserving of comeuppance. Still, really well done. #Netflix #MikeFlanagan #Nevermore

#Watching THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER

*Finally* getting around to finishing this as I didn't feel like binging due to the repetitive structure to the episodes (ANOTHER Usher dead, again?).
Haunting of Hill House is still my favorite Flanagan #Netflix limited series.
Like this more than Midnight Mass because of the Poe callbacks and the very creative kills.
Unfortunately, like Midnight Mass, there are narrative-killing monologues and exposition dumps. You can hear a character (usually Bruce Greenwood) start a navel-gazer, call DoorDash and by the time the Very Important Monologue finishes, your food will be there.
You feel like you should be taking notes like you'll be tested on this later. Every performer is well cast, especially an against-type Carla Gugino. Mark Hamill gives good growl.
8 episodes where you could have done 6 if it weren't for the speechifying.
Took it long enough to fall.

Not really a spoiler (it's about The Fall of the House of Usher, on Netflix):

Having "Gerald's Game" on the Netflix homepage on the TV screen in one scene (where one character is, well, "bed-ridden"), and have some characters (including Bruce Greenwood's character) discussing Carla Gugino's character in the other scene is the best easter egg ever.

So I just binge watched #TheFallOfTheHouseOfUsher on Netflix and whoa, was it a ride for this old Poe fangirl.

@dreadfulsanity you have to check this one out if you haven't already.

TV Miniseries Rave: #TheFalloftheHouseofUsher

You have got to watch "The Fall of the House of Usher" on Netflix.

It's horror with fantasy elements, social commentary,, and a family as toxic as any you will ever encounter. It's #EdgarAllenPoe meets the #Sackler family of pharmaceutical infamy.

I don't care much for horror, but this was just gorgeously done. The writing, acting, and staging are amazing. The cast is incredible. So are the costumes.

Warning: It is very violent.

Easter Eggs in Verna's ID from #TheFallOfTheHouseOfUsher that I noticed:
1. Clemm is the family name of Poe's wife, Virginia.
2. 1849 is Poe's year of death.
3. Reynolds is a name Poe supposedly said on his death bed, but there's no proof of that.
4. New York is where Virginia died.

I just watched The Fall of the House of Usher 1x04 "The Black Cat" https://trakt.tv/shows/the-fall-of-the-house-of-usher/seasons/1/episodes/4 #TheFallOfTheHouseOfUsher #trakt

My slightly more in-depth review of Flanagan's "The Fall of the House of Usher" series (minor spoilers):

For me, the series nailed the dedication to Poe's most popular works. As a love-letter to Poe's writings, it's great. It's not a direct adaptation by any means, but it is a very fun romp through Poe's better known works. It even achieves some depth in a few parts.

But it stumbles in the other intended themes/messages especially at the end. #TheFalloftheHouseofUsher #EdgarAllanPoe

I finished Flannigan's The Fall of the House of Usher. A very quick take:

As a Poe-inspired horror series, it was entertainingly violent and gory. It mostly did good at going beyond easy references to pull at least some depth from the stories/poems.

As a series dealing with opioid crisis and the evils of capitalism, it stumbles at the end. It goes preachy while ditching the art of metaphor and symbols.

Enjoyable overall. #TheFalloftheHouseofUsher #EdgarAllanPoe

Three Poe stories referenced in the bar windows in episode 1 of The Fall of the House of Usher:
1. The Raven
2. Metzengerstein
3. The Black Cat (there are two felines in that story, hence, two windows)

#EdgarAllanPoe #TheFallOfTheHouseOfUsher

Tamerlane's breakdown in ep. 6 of #TheFalloftheHouseofUsher is referencing Poe's story William Wilson (the name of her husband character in the show). In the original WW story, the main character has a double or doppelgänger who slowly destroys his life over years.

Though, in the end, there may have been no double, but a representation of his own self-destructive spirit. Self destruction is a theme in many of Poe's works. #EdgarAllanPoe #williamwilson

In ep 6 of The Fall of the House of Usher, Lenore watches the end of a black and white movie that appears to be an adaptation of The Pit and Pendulum, but I can't find which movie that is. I just keep coming up with the 1961 Vincent Price adaptation.

Anyone know which movie that was in the show?

WHAAAT? The Koch Brothers? Mark Zuckerberg? Mitch McConnell? Trump? WTFFF? Is she the spirit of evil capitalism? WHAT IS HAPPENING?

This feels like it's going so far out of the realm of even this show that it's silly.
#TheFalloftheHouseofUsher

Weird sideways reference to H.P. Lovecraft in #TheFalloftheHouseofUsher with the statement "out of time and out of space" in Ep. 6 "The Gold Bug". Lovecraft considered Poe a towering literary figure whose work influenced all of his writing, but that was in the 1900's.

Though, Pym is taking a center role in this episode and that story was a particular influence on Lovecraft. #EdgarAllanPoe #hplovecraft
