Mike Flanagan, the person behind some scary Netflix reveals like Midnight Mass and the upcoming Midnight Club, loves himself some horror. In Mass and his Haunting reveals, that horror begins gradual earlier than getting violent and ending poignantly. But for his upcoming sequence The Fall of the House of Usher, his adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe’s works is forgoing subtlety for some blood spilling.

In an episode of Bloody Disgusting’s Boo Crew podcast earlier this week, Flanagan overrated how a lot of a departure Usher can be from his earlier work. “We just want buckets of blood pouring out of the ceiling on page two,” he stated. Likening his earlier reveals to gradual burns, Usher can be “a brush fire. It is an explosion…it’s rock and roll, over the top and just violent and insane and horrific.” Sounds fairly intense, and Flanagan attributed it to having the whole catalogue of the late horror author at his disposal. That, and he’s determined that he desires some catharsis after the previous few years. “It lets me play in a corner of the genre I haven’t gotten to play in in a long time. It’s fun to have fun!”

Outside of these superlatives, Flanagan did supply up some attention-grabbing information. Specifically, they’ll begin capturing the sequence in January, and the solid ought to be introduced “soon.” He and director Michael Fimognari will every direct 4 episodes apiece of the eight-episode miniseries. Fimognari’s directing credit are slim, with solely the ultimate two To All the Boys movies to his identify. But as cinematographer, he’s acquired a strong stack of horror, together with two separate Walking Dead webseries, Doctor Sleep, Gerald’s Game, and The Haunting of Hill House.

Given that pedigree, plus Flanagan’s personal work, Usher ought to be a delightfully enjoyable and bloody time when it lands within the close to future. If it’s as audacious and bloody as Flanagan as saying, it’ll be an attention-grabbing addition to his catalogue, and it’s at all times enjoyable to observe administrators lose their goddamn minds after having been beforehand restrained.
