The Fall of the House of Usher is a
gothic horror drama miniseries created by Mike Flanagan, the mastermind behind The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor. Flanagan is known for his atmospheric and psychological storytelling, as well as his ability to adapt classic literature into modern and compelling narratives. The series is loosely based on the short story of the same name and other works by Edgar Allan Poe, such as The Cask of Amontillado, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Masque of the Red Death, and more.
The series centers on Roderick Usher (Bruce Greenwood), the CEO of a corrupt pharmaceutical company, who faces his questionable past when his children start dying in mysterious and brutal ways.

The series is full of suspense, mystery, and horror, as well as some emotional and dramatic moments. The series also features some stunning visuals and cinematography that create a gloomy and eerie atmosphere.
