With The Fall of the House of Usher, which streams on Netflix on October 12th, Mike Flanagan expands on the horror from shows like The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass.
Since The Haunting of Hill House debuted in 2018, Mike Flanagan has steadily built up an impressively diverse anthology of limited series on Netflix, with releases coming on a near-annual basis. The intervening years have included a romantic puzzle box, a small-town vampire story, and a collection of teen ghost stories. But with The Fall of the House of Usher — which is likely the final collaboration between Flanagan and Netflix — the showrunner has created his most ambitious story yet.
Not only is it adapting multiple disparate stories from the same author but it’s also trying to weave them together into a larger, coherent narrative, while at the same time using that story to comment on everything from the opioid crisis to the failures of the mega-wealthy and problems with modern technology. Because of this, it starts out slowly as the show attempts to introduce all of its various parts. For the first few episodes, it felt a little confused and unwieldy to me.
