Mike Flanagan has become a respected name in the horror genre with films like Hush and Doctor Sleep to Netflix series like The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass. His latest series, The Fall of the House of Usher, is his most ambitious project to date. Mike Flanagan has previously adapted the works of Stephen King, Christopher Pike, and Shirley Jackson as the basis of his work. Now, he turns to the works of Edgar Allen Poe and gives it a contemporary spin with the rise and downfall of the Usher family. Bruce Greenwood plays the patriarch of the family, Roderick Usher, who has six children from five women. He runs a billion-dollar pharmaceutical company and he’s currently under investigation on 73 charges. There’s a family history of trauma and terror that continues for Roderick as his children all start dying due to mysterious and horrific conditions. Now streaming on Netflix
