Carla Gugino in The Fall of the House of Usher (2023)

Review by Biskuitt

The Fall of the House of Usher

1/10

The Fall of the House of Ggeh!

"The Fall of the House of Usher" is a lackluster adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's masterpiece. The bad acting is a glaring flaw, with performances failing to capture the complexity of the characters. Roderick and Madeline Usher, central to the story's success, come across as one-dimensional, unable to convey the necessary emotional depth. The supporting cast doesn't fare much better, rendering key roles in the tale unconvincing and uninspiring. As a devoted fan of Poe's work, this adaptation's misinterpretation is disheartening. It prioritizes style over substance, forsaking the psychological torment and gothic horror that make Poe's original so enduring. The narrative feels disjointed, with unnecessary subplots diluting the central tension. Attempts to introduce modern elements and social commentary feel forced and out of place in a story firmly rooted in the 19th century. In summary, "The Fall of the House of Usher" squanders its potential, delivering a subpar adaptation that fails to capture the essence of Poe's masterpiece.

The 10:1 geh ratio is also one of the factor that made me want to vomit my ears out. I am sorry Edgar, a degenerate demograph has murdered your art for the sake of unnecessary political correctness that gives back the majority and your fans just; nothing.
