In Screen Gab No. 107, a dissenting opinion on the Poe-inspired horror tale 'The Fall of the House of Usher,' a modern spin on Edith Wharton and more.
Welcome to Screen Gab , the newsletter for everyone who loves a dissenting opinion.

Catch up on the Poe-inspired limited series in Screen Gab no.
Each episode adapts an Edgar Allan Poe short story in the form of a dramatic death scene — think the swinging blade from “The Pit and the Pendulum” or the elaborate confession in “The Tell-Tale Heart” — and while these sequences are interesting to watch play out in their “Final Destination”-esque fashion, they simply don’t carry as much weight as the grief we feel for Nell in “Hill House” or the mourning over Riley in “Midnight Mass.
