While Mike Flanagan succeeded in putting a modern spin on Edgar Allan Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher, the 1928 silent film is the best version.
The Big Picture Edgar Allan Poe still holds power over modern audiences to this day, and the success of The Fall of the House of Usher on Netflix is further proof of this. The name-brand recognition of Mike Flanagan is certainly a plus, as he's one of the best horror auteurs in the game, but that can only get you so far.
1928's 'The Fall of the House of Usher' Is All About Style While the plot itself is well and good, director Jean Epstein had priorities that lay more in the realm of aesthetics and mood, considering that he blazed through the story in just over an hour. He latched onto the idea of "a curse is overwhelmingly eating away at everything in a house" and ran with it.
Or take a sequence where Roderick tries to entertain his guest and a local doctor who has come to check on Madeline. Roderick keeps looking at the covered-up painting, guilty that he isn't still working on it. The guests insist he's being feverish and should relax, and Roderick tries to. But the more he tries, the more the house seems to throw a tantrum.
