Netflix has plenty of spooky, even scary, options to binge over the Halloween season. Two new shows, in particular, are great options with different vibes.is a modern adaption and recontextualizing of Edgar Allen Poe with some inventive horror and genuine scares.is an animated vampire action show with plenty of creepy monsters and blood. So gothic horror? Or dark fantasy? Why not both?Horror filmmaker Mike Flanagan has made some of his best work for Netflix.
The series follows Roderick Usher, played by Bruce Greenwood and Zach Gilford, a CEO of a pharmaceutical company whose children suddenly start dying one after another after a mysterious stranger from his past reappears. The family’s children are positioned as each having their own personal moral depravities and daddy issues.
It’s a morality tale with real-life commentary on the pharmaceutical industry and capitalism that is carried by its horror direction and performances from its cast, which features all the actors who have been staples in his other series, including Rahul Kohl and Kate Siegal.which is probably Flanagan’s best and most fully realized series, but it is an incredibly engaging show with some real scares mixed into its dark atmosphere.
Joining Richter on his mission are Annette , who escaped slavery in the Caribean after the Haitian Revolution, and a young aristocrat, Maria Renard , a sorcerer and revolutionary leader. The show positions vampires as so evil that they side with enslavers and the rich and powerful, which could have its pitfalls if not done right, but it works and is an attempt to add even more weight than just the possibility of vampires blotting out the sun for an endless night.
The animation style is different but faithful to the original while being even more stylish and exciting. The action is a high point of the series with its fluid animation that puts a lot of animated shows to shame. The character designs are great, especially the monster and vampire designs, which range from strangely beautiful to grotesque and creepy. The voice acting is phenomenal with a great cast.
