Netflix has released the first official trailer for Mike Flanagan’s “The Fall of the House of Usher.” Based on the Edgar Allan Poe story of the same name, the horror series follows sibling duo Roderick (Bruce Greenwood) and Madeline Usher (Mary McDonnell), who are at the front of their Fortunato Pharmaceuticals empire.
