The Fall Of The House Of Usher (2023)

Roderick Usher sta de vorba cu Auggie Dupin in casa parinteasca, povestindu-i cum este vinovat de moartea fiecaruia din copiii sai.

'The Fall Of The House Of Usher' este cea mai recenta (si ultima) ecranizare in miniserie a lui Mike Flanagan in colaborare cu Netflix. Bazata pe scrierile lui Edgar Allan Poe, serialul imbina maiestuos mai multe din povestirile sale intr-un omagiu modern pentru stilul gotic original. Regandit intr-un mod foarte original, TFOTHOU va satisface usor nevoia pentru gotic din viata privitorului si-i va intoarce directia gandurilor catre analiza si cautare de "bogatie" reala. Vizual este grandios, mortile si povestile paralele asociate nu sunt niciodata grabite sau tratate superficial, si, fara a uita firul narativ principal, publicul este tratat satisfacator cu derularea in paralel si un final adecvat chiar si cand era asteptat.

The Midnight Club (2022– )

A group of young people suffering from terminal illnesses maintain a pact that they will contact the others if they die, a pact that is the basis of the storytelling club they belong to.

'The Midnight Club' is a dramatic horror series created by Mike Flanagan for Netflix, one of their many collaborations. Almost every episode has at its center a short story "made up" by the club members, which are macabre, sci-fi or just meaningful stories, but almost always supernatural. The film has a lot of teenage drama and more, interesting characters, built really well in quite a lot of detail, and a natural evolution of the viewer's expectations that are not fully satisfied, however it doesn't fail to deliver the desired message to its destination.

Director:  Mike Flanagan and others

Creator:  Mike Flanagan, Leah Fong   
Duration:  1 season of 10 episodes (1 hour each)   
With: Iman Benson, Igby Rigney, Ruth Codd, Annarah Cymone, Samantha Sloyan, Zach Gilford, Heather Langenkamp, Katie Parker
