In ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’ series from Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House) and adapted from Edgar Allan Poe’s 1839 short story of the same name, the horror drama follows Roderick Usher (Bruce Greenwood), the CEO of a corrupt pharmaceutical company, who must face his shady past when each of his children begin to die in mysterious and brutal fashion.
