Motherhood remains fertile ground for horror in The Beldham, the upcoming feature directorial debut from Angela Gulner. A new haunting clip from the psychological horror movie has arrived ahead of the film’s debut at the Austin Film Festival.

Patricia Heaton stars as Sadie, an aging mother determined to protect family from a monstrous presence that threatens to tear them all apart.

In The Beldham, “Struggling new mom Harper moves in with her own mother to renovate a fading suburban farmhouse. The two are joined by her mother’s new boyfriend and a mysterious live-in home aide, both who claim to be dedicated to Harper’s postpartum care. But a sinister presence lurks within the house… one that has designs on Harper’s child. As Harper investigates, she uncovers dark truths about the nature of her reality, and questions the intentions of those entrusted with her care.”

Katie Parker, Emma Fitzpatrick...

It isn’t hard to see why motherhood has been a favorite topic for 21st century horror filmmakers. As humans become more acutely aware of the involuntary forces and events that have shaped their own demons, filmmakers have gleefully embraced the challenge of showing us that our own damaged psyches are often scarier than anything the outside world can show us. Becoming a mother is a singular experience that can inflict trauma on both one’s self and the children for whom you’re responsible, making it fertile ground for directors looking to haunt our nightmares.

The latest entry in the subgenre is “The Beldham,” a new horror film that stars Patricia Heaton as an aging mother who takes her daughter and newborn granddaughter into her home. While the two women navigate uniquely vulnerable time periods in their lives, they find themselves haunted by an ominous presence that might predate both of them.

The Coven has boarded Patricia Heaton-led horror The Beldham from Wicked Myth Films and heads to Cannes with worldwide sales rights.

Angela Gulner’s feature debut follows single mother Harper played by Katie Parker (The Fall Of The House Of Usher) who moves in with her own mother (Heaton) to renovate a fading suburban farmhouse.

Before long, Harper finds herself haunted by a threatening presence that seems to desire her infant child. Inspired by folklore about the Beldham, an old hag that feeds on the souls of the young, the film blurs the lines between myth and the true...

Mike Flanagan is back with his new horror series, The Fall of the House of Usher, an adaptation of the famous Edgar Allan Poe short story, and as you would expect, he has pretty much delivered it. It does have all the familiar traits of Flanagan’s work, along with a dash of snarky, Succession-like humor. The series has at least two standout acting performances, which is also something we get to see in most Flanagan projects. With The Fall of the House of Usher now out in the open, I thought it was a good time to make a list of the best acting performances in Mike Flanagan movies and series. We have picked ten performances, and believe me, it was not an easy thing to do.

Honorable Mentions

This article contains spoilers for Netflix’s The Fall of the House of Usher.

As its title suggests, Mike Flanagan’s latest project for Netflix, The Fall of the House of Usher, is an intensely Edgar Allan Poe affair. The eight-episode series, which follows the modern day rise and fall of fictional opioid giant Fortunato Pharmaceuticals, is based on not only Poe’s epic “The Fall of the House of Usher” but many of his other seminal classics as well.

Fittingly, pretty much every character on the show is named after an Edgar Allan Poe creation. These range from the blindingly obvious (Bruce Greenwood’s Roderick Usher and Mary McDonnell’s Madeline Usher) to the less obvious (Katie Parker’s Annabel Lee) to the downright obscure (T’Nia Miller’s Victorine Lafourcade). One of The Fall of the House of Usher‘s most important characters, however, doesn’t appear to have...

Warning! This article contains Spoilers for The Fall of the House of Usher!

Annabel Lee's mysterious fate looms over The Fall of the House of Usher's story, with her tragic death serving as a reminder of how far Roderick had fallen. Roderick's love for Annabel Lee is emphasized as one of his most redeeming qualities before his pursuit of wealth and power corrupted him. Annabel Lee's death, potentially caused by a broken heart, symbolizes the destruction of even the purest souls in the ruthless climb to money and power.

With Roderick Usher’s wife Annabel Lee being absent from the present-day story, her mysterious fate looms over The Fall of the House of Usher’s story. While Bruce Greenwood’s Roderick Usher is married to Juno in the show’s present timeline, Mike Flanagan’s Netflix show frequently features flashbacks to 1979, at which point young Roderick is married...

The Fall of the House of Usher is filmmaker Mike Flanagan’s gloriously morbid remix of author Edgar Allen Poe’s best-known stories and poems, and it’s winning raves from critics (with a 92 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes). Even those totally unfamiliar with Poe probably found some glimmer of recognition amid the show’s nods to his best-known tales — such as “The Pit and the Pendulum,” “The Raven” and “The Cask of Amontillado” — given how Poe’s stories have threaded through pop culture over the last 175 years or so.

But even Poe superfans probably couldn’t spot all the references — because there are dozens scattered throughout the show’s eight Gothic episodes.

So here they are (The Hollywood Reporter compiled this based on notes supplied by the show’s production team — I’m not going to pretend to be this smart; also, there’s always a chance that a...

Mike Flanagan brings back several of his favorite actors for his new Netflix series “The Fall of the House of Usher,” including wife Kate Siegel, Carla Gugino, Bruce Greenwood and Henry Thomas. You’ll also recognize several cast members from the canceled-too-soon “Midnight Club” and a few from the film “Doctor Sleep” and the limited series “Midnight Mass.”

And you might need help keeping track of who’s who within the Usher family, headed up by Roderick and Madeleine Usher. Flanagan drew on various Edgar Allan Poe writings for this macabre tale, including the title story, as well as “The Masque of the Red Death,” “The Raven” and “The Pit and the Pendulum.”

Here’s a complete “Fall of the House of Usher” cast and character guide.

Roderick Usher is a wealthy pharmaceutical patriarch who proudly welcomes all his children by different mothers. The...

For most people, choices made incur consequences. One of the most intriguing components of life is the realization that we all have a tab, and at one point or another, a bill will come due. The 1% who hold the majority of the wealth and influence globally typically don’t abide by these same rules. The upper echelons of society move through life seemingly without repercussions by leaching off the powerless. Mike Flanagan’s “The Fall of the House of Usher,” which earns its title from an 1839 Edgar Allen Poe story, showcases the demise of a family who, after being afforded every opportunity, eventually pays the price for their rampant monstrosity.

As the series opens, fans are introduced to Roderick Usher (Bruce Greenwood), the graying CEO of Fortunado Industries — a massive pharmaceutical conglomerate with a signature drug that’s equivalent to the highly addictive opioid OxyContin. Though he has everything at his fingertips,...

Mike Flanagan‘s company Intrepid Pictures has moved on from the Netflix streaming service and is now set up with a multi-year deal at Amazon’s Prime Video, but there’s still one last Flanagan-produced series coming to Netflix. It’s the Edgar Allan Poe-inspired limited series The Fall of the House of Usher, which will be available to watch as of this Thursday, October 12th. With the release date just hours away, a new promo has arrived online to let us be warned that Carla Gugino’s character is coming to cause trouble. You can check it out in the embed above.

Here’s the set-up for Poe’s story The Fall of the House of Usher: Roderick Usher and his sister Madeline are the only two surviving members of the aristocratic Usher family. For many years, they have lived together in the ancient mansion which is their ancestral family home.

Based on the tales of Edgar Allan Poe, Mike Flanagan‘s final series for Netflix is “The Fall of the House of Usher,” and the series premiere is now just three days away.

The limited series from Intrepid Pictures is “based on multiple works from Poe,” and Netflix recently announced that “Usher” will premiere on October 12, 2023.

Watch the latest official teaser for Netflix’s “Usher” series below.

“In this wicked 8-episode limited series based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe, ruthless siblings Roderick and Madeline Usher have built Fortunato Pharmaceuticals into an empire of wealth, privilege and power. But past secrets come to light when the heirs to the Usher dynasty start dying at the hands of a mysterious woman from their youth.”

The ensemble cast will include Carla Gugino (Gerald’s Game, “The Haunting of Hill House”), Mary McDonnell (Scream 4), Carl Lumbly (Doctor Sleep), and Mark Hamill.

But past secrets come to light when the heirs to the Usher dynasty start dying at the hands of a mysterious woman from their youth.

Review: Since the premiere of Before I Wake and Hush on Netflix in 2016, Mike Flanagan has called the streaming platform his creative home. But, it was not until The Haunting of Hill House that Flanagan became a recognizable name to the masses. With an original film and four series for Netflix, Mike Flanagan’s final project under his overall deal may be his most ambitious until he rolls on his potential adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower. Drawing inspiration from another master of the macabre, Flanagan’s The Fall of the House of Usher...

Creator Mike Flanagan’s latest and final series collaboration with Netflix, “The Fall of the House of Usher,” takes on the works of Edgar Allan Poe. Much like “The Haunting of Bly Manor,” Flanagan’s latest uses a classic short story as the central narrative framework to remix a variety of Poe’s macabre poems and short stories but with Flanagan’s signature pathos. Unlike previous Netflix series, “The Fall of the House of Usher” eschews the familiar melancholy and dials up the gallows humor for a twisted tale that’s unafraid to get grisly.

In the process, however, it’s less effective at organically adapting Poe.

Like the source story, “The Fall of the House of Usher” begins with Auguste Dupin (Carl Lumbly) called to a crumbling estate for a final meeting with the deteriorating Roderick Usher (Bruce Greenwood). With time drawing to a close and haunted by horrific...

Carla Gugino returns to the horror genre in Mike Flanagan's new Netflix series, The Fall of the House of Usher, playing a terrifying shape-shifting demon named Verna.

Gugino's character, Verna, is even scarier than her previous role as Olivia Crain in The Haunting of Hill House, with a trailer showcasing her appearance with her eyeball hanging out of the socket. Get ready for intense horror!

Mike Flanagan is back with a new Netflix horror television series, The Fall of the House of Usher, for the Halloween season, and Carla Gugino, who previously starred in The Haunting of Hill House, returns to play another frightening character in the miniseries.

"What if 'Succession' but Edgar Allan Poe?" is a pretty damn fine pitch for a horror series if you ask me, especially when it's coming from Mike Flanagan. The modern horror maestro has been a practical machine for Netflix these last several years, churning out hit after hit like "Gerald's Game," "The Haunting of Hill House," and "The Haunting of Bly Manor." He's since secured a deal to develop projects for Amazon Studios, but before he leaves, he's gifted Netflix with one final offering. Titled "The Fall of the House of Usher," the show sees Flanagan turning his eye to the works of the father of Gothic horror fiction, Edgar Allan Poe, as filtered through the modern-day world of cutthroat corporate culture and familial dynasties. So, yeah, it's "Succession" with a whole lot more literal bloodshed.

Such is the vibe of the trailer for "The Fall of the House of Usher,...

Mike Flanagan's grip on the horror genre will continue on Netflix this fall with The Fall of the House of Usher.

Netflix on Tuesday released the trailer for The Haunting of Hill House creator's next project.

The drama is based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe and follows the Usher family as "past secrets come to light when the heirs to the Usher dynasty start dying at the hands of a mysterious woman from their youth."

It's a compelling hook and the official trailer promises we're in for a terrifying journey across eight episodes.

Will there be a way to stop this mysterious individual from the past, or will the Ushers realize that death is inevitable?

The footage raises many questions about the family's dealings, and truthfully, they may be one of the most despicable families on the small screen.

The first trailer for Mike Flanagan and Trevor Macy’s “The Fall of the House of Usher” has arrived, and it’s positively brimming with Poe. The limited series is set to premiere all eight episodes on Netflix on Oct. 12.

This first look jumps between several unsettling scenes, from lurking ravens to murderous ladies and seemingly other-worldly creatures. As Madeline Usher (Mary McDonnell) curtly reveals that the family will “exhaust our arsenal until the threat’s neutralized,” Arthur Pym (Mark Hamill) pours over an active crime scene. Naturally, for Flanagan’s work, it all comes to a head with the appearance of Carla Gugino’s mysterious and skull mask-wearing Verna.

“Roderick Usher, your family is a collection of stunted horrors whose time has come,” Verna warns.

When asked who she is, Verna says, “Consequence. And tonight is consequential.”

Flanagan created the award-winning horror shows The Haunting of Hill House (released in 2018), The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020), and Midnight Mass (2021). The eight-episode The Fall of the House of Usher will premiere on Thursday, October 12, 2023.

Carla Gugino, who plays a demonic shape-shifter named Verna, spoke to Tudum about the series prior to the strike. “It has quite a lot of very dark humor, but also really touches the soul,” said Gugino. Describing her character, Gugino teased, “There is a...

Mike Flanagan has already moved on from the Netflix streaming service, as his company Intrepid Pictures has secured a multi-year deal with Amazon’s Prime Video… but we still have one more Flanagan Netflix series to see. Following in the footsteps of The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, and The Midnight Club is the Edgar Allan Poe-inspired limited series The Fall of the House of Usher – and today, Netflix announced that the eight-episode series will be available to watch as of Thursday, October 12th! Along with that announcement comes the unveiling of multiple first look images and a poster for the show, and you can check all of those out at the bottom of this article.

Here’s the set-up for Poe’s story The Fall of the House of Usher: Roderick Usher and his sister Madeline are the only two surviving members of the aristocratic Usher family.

The Fall of the House of Usher is a new horror series by Mike Flanagan inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe. The show follows siblings Roderick and Madeline Usher, who have created a powerful pharmaceutical empire. Past secrets unravel as the heirs of the Usher dynasty begin to die at the hands of a mysterious woman from their past. Star Carla Gugino previously described the series as "bats--- crazy in the best possible way."

The first plot details for The Fall of the House of Usher have been revealed, teasing a horror-filled new Mike Flanagan series. After achieving success on Netflix with The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, and Midnight Mass, Flanagan's next show, a miniseries, is inspired by the collective works of Edgar Allan Poe. The series has long remained shrouded in mystery, with only its impressive cast having been previously revealed.

Based on the tales of Edgar Allan Poe, Mike Flanagan‘s final series for Netflix is “The Fall of the House of Usher,” and it’s going to be unlike anything Flanagan has ever done before.

The limited series from Intrepid Pictures is “based on multiple works from Poe,” and Netflix has announced this morning that “Usher” will premiere on October 12, 2023.

Check out poster art and a first-look image gallery below.

“In this wicked 8-episode limited series based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe, ruthless siblings Roderick and Madeline Usher have built Fortunato Pharmaceuticals into an empire of wealth, privilege and power. But past secrets come to light when the heirs to the Usher dynasty start dying at the hands of a mysterious woman from their youth.”

The ensemble cast will include Carla Gugino (Gerald’s Game, “The Haunting of Hill House”), Mary McDonnell (Scream 4), Carl Lumbly (Doctor Sleep), and Mark Hamill.

"Stranger Things" might be Netflix's flagship show, but it turns out that Mike Flanagan's "The Haunting of Hill House" is another crown jewel for the streamer. As you may already know, streamers don't release numbers as a general rule, but "Hill House" was known to be a big hit for Netflix upon release. Both critic and viewer ratings were through the roof and independent polling from Parrot Analytics in 2018 found the limited series was keeping pace with massive, long-running network horror shows like "The Walking Dead" and "American Horror Story." 

But you just need to look at where Netflix put their money to tell you how big that show was for them. They went right into a spiritual sequel, "The Haunting of Bly Manor" and then greenlit "The Fall of the House of Usher" from the same Flanaverse team right after that. These are all tied together in...

Adapted from the short story of the same name by Edgar Allen Poe, this version follows siblings Roderick and Madeline Usher, two “ruthless” forces who have built Fortunato Pharmaceuticals into a massive financial empire. But when secrets from the past come back to haunt them, the members of this powerful family will start to fall all thanks to “a mysterious woman from their youth,” according to a press release for the series.

“It’s bats–t crazy in the best possible way. It has quite a lot of very dark humor, but also really touches the soul,” series star and regular Flanagan collaborator Carla Gugino told Tudum in an on-set interview last year.

Netflix has slated Thursday, October 12, for the premiere of The Fall of the House of Usher, its eight-episode limited series from Mike Flanagan based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe. The streamer also released some of the first images of the series, which you can see above and below.

Starring Bruce Greenwood, who replaced Frank Langella as the lead back in April 2022 after Langella was fired following a misconduct investigation, the series is described as an epic tale of greed, horror and tragedy. Poe’s short story The Fall of the House of Usher, which serves as the basis for the show, features themes of madness, family, isolation and identity.
