The Fall of the House of Usher – An Ambitious and Engrossing Distillation of Poe’s Work [Horror Obsessive]
From what I’ve seen of Mike Flanagan’s output (chiefly Doctor Sleep and The Haunting of Hill House), I’ve admired it greatly. He’s able to ground his horror in quite relatable and emotional themes. This varies from his depiction of a dysfunctional family that’s haunted by trauma in Hill House to the blurred line between Danny Torrance’s alcoholism and supernatural abilities in the Shining sequel. With his Netflix adaptation of The Fall of the House of Usher, Flanagan has created an ambitious and engrossing distillation of Poe’s work.
