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.

Hush (2016)

A deaf-mute writer living in isolation is attacked by a masked killer.

A horror film of the slasher/home invasion flavour that bears the signature of the man who gave us The Haunting Of Hill House and Gerald's Game. With well-constructed suspense and original ideas, its watching is not without frustrations related to certain choices the main character makes, imposed only for stylistic reasons rather than logical or viewer satisfaction. The film is a little disappointing because of the high expectations but overall a successful one that manages to be real without pushing the limits of plausibility.

Director:  Mike Flanagan    

With: John Gallagher Jr., Kate Siegel, Michael Trucco, Samantha Sloyan
