The best movie to watch after Mike Flanagan's The Fall of the House of Usher isn't a horror flick, but a searing documentary about the opioid crisis.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT One of the best movie follow-ups to watch after Netflix's The Fall of the House of Usher is an Oscar-nominated documentary that's streaming on Max. By and large, Mike Flanagan's The Fall of the House of Usher is best known for being inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's short story of the same name, as well as the author's larger body of work.
Part of that comedic spin stems from The Fall of the House of Usher's timely parody of incredibly dark real-life events. It's no secret that the Usher family is a fictionalized version of the Sackler family — the owners of the pharmaceutical company Purdue Pharma. Notably, Purdue Pharma is at the center of the ongoing opioid crisis in the United States and abroad.
All The Beauty & The Bloodshed Explores The Real Inspirations Behind House Of Usher's Family For viewers who are interested in the real inspirations behind The Fall of the House of Usher's titular family, director Laura Poitras' searing 2022 documentary All the Beauty and the Bloodshed is a must-watch film.
Although The Fall of the House of Usher family tree is a little more drenched in symbolism than its real-life counterpart, the parallels are striking. Through a horror lens, Flanagan manages to bring awareness to the ongoing crisis, which will hopefully point viewers toward Poitras' documentary. Nominated for an Academy Award, All the Beauty and the Bloodshed became only the second doc to earn the prestigious Golden Lion at the 79th Venice International Film Festival.
All The Beauty & The Bloodshed Digs Deeper Into House Of Usher's Opioid Crisis Themes Founder of the advocacy group P.A.I.N. , Goldin has staged protests at museums worldwide that bear the Sackler name. These demonstrations have sought to encourage the art institutions to cut ties with their immoral donors.
