Both The Fall of the House of Usher and Saw V feature deaths that call back to Edgar Allan Poe's story, The Pit and the Pendulum.
The Big Picture The exceedingly addictive Netflix TV series The Fall of the House of Usher by horror genre disruptor Mike Flanagan features a variety of gnarly deaths of the titular Usher family, who one-by-one succumb to the curse that was agreed upon by the ruthlessly ambitious patriarch Roderick Usher decades before. The series depicts the children dying in reverse order from youngest to oldest, ending with the death of the cowardly heir Frederick "Freddie" Usher.
In The Fall of the House of Usher, Freddie's death is no less torturous. Tasked with overseeing the demolition of the Usher company laboratory that was responsible for a horrific mass death including that of his youngest sibling Prospero , he steps inside shortly before it is to be knocked down to find his wife's engagement ring, and to urinate on the ground in a final grossly insulting gesture to his deceased brother.
Overall, due to the injustice of Seth's short prison sentence in Saw V, and Freddie's abuse of his vulnerable wife, the delayed nature of their personalized death traps ensures that they are forced to reflect on their dire actions. As such, lying immobilized and in terror, Freddie can do nothing but listen to Verna's damning monologue, who has the final say in how the Usher family dies and therefore has covertly been assessing his behavior to determine his method of death.
