Mike Flanagan’s latest show has begun production.

What is it about?

Mike Flanagan, creator of shows like Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass, etc., will now bring to screen Edgar Allan Poe’s acclaimed story ‘The Fall of the House of the Usher’.

Of course, his wife Kate Siegel is in it along with several regulars from Mike Flanagan’s previous shows such as Rahul Kohli, Carla Gugino, Henry Thomas and Annabeth Gish.

It is still not known who will be playing what part.

The classic Poe story is based on an unnamed narrator who goes to meet his friend Roderick Usher at his house. After his sister falls ill, she is taken and kept in a tomb. The house begins to develop cracks. Soon enough, it is learned that the sister never died and she returns to confront her brother.

The narrator runs away while the house, along with the siblings, are destroyed.

Now, the story had only three characters so it remains to be seen what twists and turns Mike Flanagan will bring to the story.

This will be his fifth show for Netflix after Midnight Club will release before this one. The release date remains unknown.

If like me, you’ve read hundreds of mysteries and are enthused about Sherlock Holmes tales, THE LIMEHOUSE GOLEM is actually pretty predictable.

Before Jack the Ripper, there was Golem- such is the tagline and you do want it to be the kind of movie that keeps you guessing until the very end as to the true identity of the killer. Unlike the Jack the Ripper legend, Golem is easily recognizable in the very first instance the character is introduced.

Look Away— my take on the movie with spoilers!

Plot Summary: A bullied girl switches places with her reflection. She soon regrets her decision as people start dying. What matters most? Looks or confidence? When we see someone for the first time, we do notice their looks, the way they dress. Personality and their ability to initiate and hold a conversation comes second, doesn't it? Imagine meeting someone who is good looking but is dull to the core. Now imagine someone with average looks but is someone you can have fun with or have an intellectual conversation. Which seems more attractive? Look Away takes a very bold stand where appearances are concerned. But also about self-confidence. In the end, the only argument it makes is that one cannot possess both attributes. LOOK AWAY Movie Plot We are introduced to a timid girl, Maria whose father is a plastic surgeon. Her mother is shown to have no say of her own. She is left to watch her husband ridicule his daughter about not being careful with her looks. Maria has a friend Lily
