Mike Flanagan’s final series for Netflix is inspired by the tales of Edgar Allan Poe
Horror is inherently psychological. That ghost, monster, or indestructible serial killer? A stand-in for some mental or emotional problem. Through tension and release, scary stories serve a kind of therapeutic function. Too often, though, the humans in horror seem shallow . Maybe there’s a limit to how much inner life the genre can bear before story machinery must—jump scare!—take over.
Once you get the death-per-episode, anthology-like setup, there’s not a lot of mystery to Usher, as Flanagan and his writers knock each character off and fill in backstory through flashbacks. It’s generally enjoyable seeing the puzzle pieces come together, especially with Carla Gugino woven throughout as Verna, a demon ex machina who pops up in everyone’s storyline , tempting them to the precipice of their own vice, madness, or egomania.
