Mike Flanagan Teases New Series "The Fall of the House of Usher" As "Blood-Soaked & Wicked"

Mike Flanagan Teases New Series “The Fall of the House of Usher” As “Blood-Soaked & Wicked”

If there’s one thing you can count on when it comes to director Mike Flanagan, it’s quality, just look at his spooky-as-shit Netflix series “Haunting of Hill House,” or one of his films. Well, he’s back (not that he ever left) with his new series, based on the tales of Edgar Allen Poe, titled “The Fall of the House of Usher”. The limited series from Intrepid Pictures features eight episodes that have already been filmed. Four were directed by Flanagan and four by Michael Fimognari, who worked with Flanagan as cinematographer for “Haunting of Hill House” and directed several episodes of Flanagan’s new series “The Midnight Club.” “It’s crazy. It is unlike anything I’ve ever done, but in the other direction. My favorite way to describe it to people is like ‘Hill House’ is kind of a string quartet, and ‘Bly Manor’ is this delicate, kind of beautiful piece of classical piano music, and ‘The Fall of the House of

Movie Review: The Accursed

Movie Review: The Accursed

The Accursed (2022) looks great and boasts a fine directorial effort from Kevin Lewis (Willy’s Wonderland, 2021) and good performances, but unfortunately offers nothing new storywise for seasoned or even casual horror-film viewers. Mary Lynn (Alexis Knapp) and her daughter Sadie turn the supernatural tables on neighborhood witch Ms. Ambrose (Meg Foster). Months later, smalltown escapee Elly (Sarah Grey) returns to her family home because of her mother’s passing. She hopes to sell the house and leave quickly, with her friend Beth (Sarah Dumont) helping out. Elly can’t leave town as soon as she would like, though, and takes a job offered a job by a brusque woman named Alma (Mena Suvari) caring for a catatonic elderly woman who lives in a rural cabin — no surprise, it’s Ms. Ambrose. The usual haunted house/demonic possession tropes occur, yet still Elly remains at the cabin, even after a backstory exposition dump by the returning Mary Lynn. Lewis does well at the
