Fun fact: Sam had a tummy ache while recording this episode and was being so brave about it.
Unlike our dear Roderick Usher, who finds himself incapable of making the ultimate sacrifice to save his children.
This week, we’re breaking down the fifth episode of Mike Flanagan’s Fall of the House of Usher which adapts Poe’s most well-known tale, “The Tell-Tale Heart”.
In “The Tell-Tale Heart” we follow an unnamed narrator describing their meticulous plan to murder an old man with a "vulture-like" eye. The narrator is obsessed with the old man's eye, which they find unsettling. They eventually carry out the murder and hide the old man's dismembered body beneath the floorboards. However, consumed by guilt and paranoia, the narrator starts to hear the old man's heartbeat emanating from the floorboards. The sound becomes increasingly unbearable, leading to the narrator confessing to the murder to silence the imagined heartbeat.
Meanwhile, in the show, we find The Ushers overwhelmed with grief as they bury the first three children who’ve passed. However, life has to move forward for the family as the case against them still exists. Vic decides to charge ahead with her plan to enter human trials for her revolutionary new heart device. Her wife, and partner, disagrees with moving forward and decide to break off with her and the entire family, exposing their terrible ways.
