The Fall Of The House Of Usher, Mike Flanagan's new Netflix series, follows a rich history of Poe tales translated to both big and small screens
For almost as long as the medium has existed, filmmakers have been turning to the works of Edgar Allan Poe for inspiration. The earliest adaptations of his stories date back to the silent era. Just as the author’s writing has stood the test of time, many of these films still linger in our consciousness, from Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi facing off in 1934’s The Black Cat to Roger Corman and Vincent Price’s prolific Poe partnership in the 1960s.
Liam Aiken stands in for the narrator, who pays a visit to an old friend after receiving word that he and his twin sister are not doing well following the death of their father. Though it’s more of a spiritual adaptation than a literal one, Picard zeroes in on Poe’s metaphorical concept of the physical manifestation of a crumbling psyche and makes the film feel as relevant and off-putting as the story was when Poe first came up with it. Best: 3.
