The only thing that bothers me just a little is when Carla Gugino is the heart patient, it seems she is imitating Daryl Hannah’s character in “Steel Magnolias” just a little too much. From the hair style, to the southern accent (which she does phenomenally,) to the shyness and insecurities she has. It really doesn’t matter, it’s just an observation. She is knocking the leather off of that ball!
I'm not sure it was on purpose, but when Mark Hamill is investigating the burned bodies, there are a few moments where his silhouette looks like a plague doctor (which was one of the ghosts in Bly Manor). He is wearing the long coat, wide brim hat and glasses, and his mask looks like a short beak.
_2nd best_ performance behind Theo's monologue in _Haunting Of Hill House._ My only problem is _Victorine_ should've got the chimp mauling. _She_ operated inhumanly on them.
I love how Mike Flanagan consistently brings back actors he’s worked with on previous shows. I think it really helps because the more they all work together the more cohesive the projects become due to them all having great rapport together.
I would give my left arm to be a part of the Flanagan family of actors. They are all so talented and these projects are so good and dark/macabre just how I like it. They’re all truly blessed to have that connection!
Not only actors, but also the haunted mirror from Oculus. You can see it in the background when the siblings are sitting at Verna's bar. And that's just Fall of Usher. He places the mirror in basically every single movie and series.
sometimes i ask myself why i, as a 19 year old girl, find myself so connected to these 4 middle-aged buffed up men on yt, but then i think to myself; why question it if it’s one of the few things that bring me comfort these days 🤨 haven’t even watched this reaction yet but great video as usual, thanks for everything you do. kinda want you all to adopt me (in the least weird way possible)
That's really adorable hon & just know if ur having a hard time in ur life there are genuine ppl out there that will help you I promise. All u have to do is dig deep & find that courage to ask for help. That's literally always the hardest step. Ppl do not comprehend how much strength it takes to just ask for help. Because unless they themselves are suffering they have mo comprehension & everyone always ignores that. Ppl just think it's simple & it's most certainly not. So plz trust me from the bottom of my heart if your suffering just pull that last bit of strength u got & make a call & find someone to talk to. Until that time, I don't know if you believe in prayer, but I will pray for you cause it very much sounds like your comment is a cry for help. And I wish I could help u more , but u will be in my thoughts dear.
one of the craziest facts about this show - to me - is that Bruce Greenwood, who plays Roderick, wasn’t actually the original actor and was recast when the show was almost finished already (due to allegations with the original actor that was immediately addressed by production, thank god).. meaning pretty much EVERY scene with Roderick (like 50% of the show) was reshot to perfection at last minute, which i think goes to show even more how incredible both the actors and behind-the-scenes staff are.
@@evansyhevu9021frank langella was originally cast, but was fired due to intimacy violations during filming. i remember back at the time wondering what that context would have meant, which now knowing who’s playing juno made it way creepier
I love how Verna gives them each an out. But it's not ANY out as you'll see as you proceed. It's not just "stop and leave" it's kind of appealing to their decency, to their better, human side. But they just........... can't help themselves. Also, yes, Carla went from "that girl in Bon Jovi's 'Always' video" to one hell of an amazing, versatile actress. This is her show. Verna on the table, turning into an ape on the phone was PITCH PERFECT horror delivery.
Watching the show, I was just smiling every time Carla was in a scene, because I immediately knew that it would be great. She nailed every part of her performance. Well, so did everyone else, but Carla is just awesome
If someone ever asks you to explain capitalism, here it is wrapped up in two minutes. The only part they left out was how far you go to exploit the lemon farmers. And Bruce Greenwood's delivery - damn! You just _feel_ how soulless and ruthless Roderick is. The way he pulled off both riveting and chilling was brilliant.
To answer a question brought up during the discussion- Yes, it’s reverse birth order! Youngest to oldest. But to put credit to your point, the youngest were also the most recent to join the family and therefore are the ones most “desperate” to prove themselves, leading to all the agression at the older siblings. Fantastic reaction as always, guys! ❤🎉
Inspiration: The Murders in the Rue Morgue, considered to be the first modern detective story. Detective Auguste Dupin attempts to solve a double murder at a home on the Rue Morgue in Paris: Madam L'Espanaye has been mangled and her throat severely slashed, and her daughter Camille strangled and stuffed up a chimney. The room was locked from the inside, with the only clues being a bloody straight razor, tufts of orange hair, and two bags of gold coins. Witnesses claimed to have heard two voices arguing: one Frenchman, and one voice in a language they didn't know. Dupin deduces it was not a robbery gone wrong, as the gold was not taken, and since no one can agree on what language the second voice was maybe it wasn't a human voice at all. Whoever murdered the women needed to have insane strength and agility to have killed the women and then escaped out the window, and based on the orange hair Dupin realises it was an orangutan. He puts an ad in the paper asking for info, and a sailor comes forward to admit that he brought an orangutan back from Borneo, but it stole his razor and escaped. He chased it up Rue Morgue but not in time to stop it climbing into the house and killing the women. The voices the neighbours heard were the sailor and the orangutan.
Edgar Allan Poe's Murder in the Rue Morgue is the detective murder mystery that is one of the things that inspired Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to write Sherlock Holmes. 📚🔎🕵♂️😊👍
Idk if anyone said this on previous videos but Kate Siegel who plays Camille said that her character is heavily inspired by Mirage from The Incredibles
Sorry, not sure if u can answer this without spoiling. I've seen the movie, but the name not ringing a bell. Is there a way u can tell me who without doing any spoiling for the guys. Thanks
@jenloveshorror She's the lady that meets Mr. Incredible on the island. Silver hair, tan. Mirage also kinda looks like Nina Garcia from Project Runway to me. Lol
As a big fan of Mike Flanagan and a huge fan of Poes work, this show was absolutely ridiculously well done. If you've read the stories the episode titles are based on, you will realize how masterful it all is. I defs recommend reading the telltale heart before you watch the episode (episode 5)
Thanks for the huge heads up on ep 5. Haven't gotten that far in the actual show yet & I love knowing stuff like that. To me, it makes experience even more intense & interesting.
Carla as Verna really is such a perfomance with how she transforms into all these different personas; but even in general the whole cast really BRINGS IT for this! I always love K. Siegel and her badassery, “Fuck it. I got mine.” And to think those two played mother and daughter once 😂
Rodrick recites poems because the series is based on Edgar Allen Poe’s stories. But yes Annabel Lee likes them lol, her name is part of Poe’s work as well
It's very entertaining to "re-watch" the series through your eyes. Fantastic observations all around. I don't think you've viewed it yet, but *please* put the movie "HUSH" on the docket, another Mike Flanagan movie. He made it right before "Gerald's Game". Kate Siegel her role in "Hush", and you'll see a few other Flanagan actors as well. It's one of the best thrillers I've seen in years.
The second half of the Lemon speech is just as strong ripping on Monsanto like the first half does to De Beers. Using genetic markers in their seeds and then suing farmers when that genetic code shows up in their crops.
The lemon speech also drags big agribusiness because they absolutely do the shady stuff he referred to like patenting seeds and suing farmers. It's completely vile.
Great episode and great reaction! I just wanted to give the actor who plays Rufus (Michael Trucco) a quick shoutout because he is so deliciously arrogant and full of hubris, while he was so unassuming in Midnight Mass as Flanders (whatever the mayor's name was in the sbow). Also, a quick suggestion: Flanagan movies! Especially Gerald's Game with Bruce Greenwood and Carla Gugino, and Doctor Sleep (but only if you seen the Shining because it's a quasi-sequel)
The lemon monologue was one of the best and most well delivered monologues ever, I love it so much.Great reaction guys! I love, love, love this show and I'm enjoying the rewatch with y'all!
Y’all’s reactions were F’N LEMON man!!!! 🍋🍋🍋🍋 They might as well go ahead and put Carla Gugino’s name on the Emmy now! And I’m waiting for the SAG (if the strike is over by then,) Awards to see if they get nominated for Best Ensemble Cast. Honestly, all of the Awards it could be nominated for is really up to the PR group. “Penny Dreadful” was just as tight as this and it only got one nomination (Best Actress in a Limited Series - Eva Green,) because of lack of PR. We need to see more commercials, more advertisements in the trade papers, etc. With this cast, Flanagan has put together a dream team. I mean for him, the moon is in the 7th house, and Jupiter’s aligned with Mars. Can’t wait for the next one, guys!!! 🍋🍋🍋🍋
If the stupid awards ppl would ever get over their ludicrous obsession of completely ignoring the horror genre. I honestly don't think it will ever happen in our lifetime. The only ones that ever get nominated are ppl like Anthony Hopkins cause he's on the actual list of actors that put all that crap together. And don't get me wrong, of course his turn in silence of the lambs was amazing, but no one ever wondered why that movie. Yeah horror will never be acknowledged & it's a true crime to our future gen cause let's be real, horror is so much more. It's drama, it's story telling & writing, it's bad a.. acting. Horror has everything. Drama is just blah drama. Comedy makes u laugh, but why no category for best horror/sci-fi when they acknowledge 2 of the other genres & completely ignore probably the biggest grossing genre in the world imo. Awards are jokes.
The lemon analogy for the diamond business is one of my favourite pieces of dialogue in this entire series, but honestly all of it is so well made. I love how they are just dotting it with Edgar Alan Poe throughout as well.
You guys should be reading a short summary of the Poe story before or after each episode, it really fills in so much and makes you appreciate it all so much more!
That talk about the lemon was probably the best continuous monologue I've ever seen like man how does one person do that with 0 cuts just fantastic acting!
Just something interesting I saw somewhere about this show, Verna is an anagram for Raven... Edgar Allen Poe had written a poem called The Raven. I think she's just a super natural entity that deals with fate, destiny, and even death.... They are given a chance for a different path, but they certainly don't have any other destination. Sadly most of their fates were sealed before they were even born by dear old dad and auntie.
my second fav episode after that masterpiece of a finale - for me it was this one that established a rhythm in the series and all the mologues and performances in this episode were A1 as well
This FLANAVERSE offering may be the most imaginative retelling of the Poe Canon that I've ever seen! And I'm ride-or-die for all the Roger Corman/Vincent Price versions!
Again, she did not give her a way out. She just did not want her to die in a horrible way. You need to understand, all those children were going to die no matter what.

Just a note, chimpanzees are not to blame for being subjected to horrible tests, it is normal for them to be aggressive if they were full of adrenaline, with a device that Guys, I liked your reaction. Just a note, chimpanzees are not to blame for being subjected to horrible tests, it is normal for them to be aggressive if they were full of adrenaline, with a device that hurts him and locked up without being able to see the sunlight😢 The series is phenomenal, Mike adapted Poe's stories in an incredible way ❤
RE: the discussion about how Flanagan showed everything in the first episode but the tension remains because you're waiting to see how it plays out. I think it was Hitchcock who said it. If you show some people talking around a table and suddenly they explode, it's shocking, but it's not horror. If you show the bomb under the table before the conversation starts, now the tension is building.
Oh, and one more thing: like Ryan Murphy over at AMERICAN HORROR STORY, Mike F. uses a revolving group of his favorite repertory players. Now don't take this as a swipe at Ryan; I still love my AHS. HOWEVER, I do think that Mike tends to write for and utilize his actors better than Ryan does. I can only think of a couple of seasons of AHS that I'd stack up to USHER, and I'm still hesitant to do so.
In my opinion, this particular episode is *far* better than the original story. The original story was just dumb to me from the first time I read it as a kid. Why would a orangutan (a very calm animal) use a razor to murder a lady, and how would they know how to slit a throat? Not to mentionthe eyewitnesses reported hearing two people talking but the 2nd voice turned out to be the orangutan--how could someone mistake a monkey screeching as talking. The whole story was just utterly ridiculous, and I feel this was a far better adaptation. It changes it to a chimpanzee which is far more aggressive and dangerous, and makes sense why an angry chimp would even be there in the first place.
Oh hell. I know the writer. We weren't friends because she disliked me intensely for some reason, but I have to give her props for this. Even if begrudgingly.
Is the actor playing the role of the younger version prosecutor a cop in another movie? Like in the Saw franchise or something like that? Its driving me nuts & i cant figure out where ive seen him.
@bunnyslippers5183 oh my gosh...I missed ur response & been rewatching their reactions & yes u are so right! That is exactly where I know him from. Sorry I'm 8 months late, but thank u so much. Not sure why I was thinking Saw, but it's definitely izombie. Ur awesome! Thank u❤💞❤️
Pym has pretty much the same appeal as Shades from Luke Cage. In a realistic crime story, he'd be this super unstoppable badass, but he has the bad luck to be in a supernatural horror story instead.
I know it's been a minute since you've seen a monsterverse film but have you considered reviewing Shin Godzilla? It's a 2016 film with a reimagined godzilla that's a little bit more sad then normal and it's more realistic/real world based in terms of how the humans deal with him.
Kate Siegel should be a HUGE star!! Not only is she stunningly gorgeous, she has such a huge range!! She is a completely different person in every role she's in. Theo from Hill House was cold because her tactile psychic abilities made her shut herself off from the world. Camille, however, is just a savage of the business world. Her disconnection from the world is due to her selfishness and ruthlessness, a true narcissist.
I've seen Hill House, Midnight Mass and Usher and all are well acted, written and directed. For me Midnight Mass is the best, then Hill House and last Usher. Usher comes in last because out of the main characters there is only one or two even remotely likable ones. In Midnight Mass, there was only one true villain and that was Bev! Everyone else on the island you loved or like or at least felt sorry for. Usher has pretty much none! I only wish that Bev could have suffered each one of the Ushers deaths. She got off too easy in Mass!
This is just something fun I never picked up: Verna is an anagram for Raven. As in Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven." Not a spoiler, it's never brought up in the show. Also, something else to note, I don't recall if you guys brought it up in your other reactions, but the Ushers are like the Sackler family. Last random fun fact that's not a spoiler, but fun to notice, is that Roderick's boss's name is Rufus Griswold. That's the same name of the guy who tried to destroy Edgar Allan Poe's reputation. This show is FULL of non-spoiler easter eggs. I love how each episode is like a different Poe story and some have poem pieces!
Did you know that Carla Gugino's villain Verna is a anagram for Raven. She is actually a demon who used to be the Angel of Karma so it explains why she could shape-shift to the raven to a beautiful woman and come out of nowhere and change her looks, clothing and style and accent.
To the second guy from left who said that he doesn't like "chimps and monkeys". First of all, chimps are apes just like humans (we share almost 99% DNA) and all the torture that humans put those innocent apes through are unspeakable. They get poached in the wild, the babies are brutally taken from their mothers (who get killed in the most horrific ways trying to save the babies) and get sold to the black market as pets. The few that survive will have a terrible life full of trauma and depression. They will be kept in small cages until their death or until they get killed. We destroy their habitat, they starve to death, we experiment of them. These extremely intelligent and gentle creatures get subjected to the worst and then, there are people with the IQ of an apple that sum it all up with a "I don't like chimps and monkeys". Education is key, animal cruelty is an illness.
Chimps are not gentle creatures. Bonobos are what you are thinking of, as are other great apes in general but chimpanzees are actually pretty violent in the wild. Chimp on chimp violence happens, there is documented evidence of it. Chimps are definitely affected by habitat loss, poaching and captivity, so protection, conservation and education about the situation is necessary. But chimps being violent, stronger than humans and so human-like does make them terrifying to a lot of people. It's a legitimate fear or at least dislike.
Stopped watching after the first episode.. Sadly it didnt grab my interest and i was getting very boring Bly Manor vibes from it. Hill House was amazing, Bly Manor was a good love story but a horrible horror show. I get the feeling House of Usher is another let down.
I love when I go on lunch and the second I sit down I get a Badd Medicine notification 🫶🏻 perfect timing. I’ve also never been this early to anything ever 😂

7:12 “Camille has been an absolute beast this episode so far.” That specific wording shouldn’t have made me laugh…..oh the irony😂
Murders in the Rue Morgue - the Poe story of this episode. Each death is based on the story used
The lemon speech is just phenomenal
This has been my fav Flanagan show since Hill House, I love that you guys are enjoying it as much as I did!
Loved this series but Midnight Mass is still Flanagan's Masterpiece in my opinion
my second fav episode after that masterpiece of a finale - for me it was this one that established a rhythm in the series and all the mologues and performances in this episode were A1 as well
The midnight mass music in the background it's awesome
Im just excited for the rest because imo it only gets even better
I binged the whole season over the weekend, I could not click on this reaction fast enough!!
I wanted to see that Birkin bag! Camille was a bad ass character!
Just discovered y'all's chanell and I'm really enjoying it!! You guys seem really cool, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for giving us a shot and watching with us. We appreciate it 🤙
This FLANAVERSE offering may be the most imaginative retelling of the Poe Canon that I've ever seen! And I'm ride-or-die for all the Roger Corman/Vincent Price versions!
loved the *”BETH!”* from camille’s rant 😂
Again, she did not give her a way out. She just did not want her to die in a horrible way.
You need to understand, all those children were going to die no matter what.
Answer: Is that Camille?
Dave: No it’s the pr lady, I’m bad with character names
Answer: Camille?
Dave: Camille! Yes thank you
I loved that actress and they unalived her ....she was amazing in this and in the other horror series.
Guys, I liked your reaction. Just a note, chimpanzees are not to blame for being subjected to horrible tests, it is normal for them to be aggressive if they were full of adrenaline, with a device that Guys, I liked your reaction. Just a note, chimpanzees are not to blame for being subjected to horrible tests, it is normal for them to be aggressive if they were full of adrenaline, with a device that hurts him and locked up without being able to see the sunlight😢 The series is phenomenal, Mike adapted Poe's stories in an incredible way ❤
🍋This is the creepiest episode for me! Caesar is lemon scary!
Yay I was waiting patiently for this lol 💜
RE: the discussion about how Flanagan showed everything in the first episode but the tension remains because you're waiting to see how it plays out.
I think it was Hitchcock who said it.
If you show some people talking around a table and suddenly they explode, it's shocking, but it's not horror.
If you show the bomb under the table before the conversation starts, now the tension is building.
The lemon speech 🤯
Oh, and one more thing: like Ryan Murphy over at AMERICAN HORROR STORY, Mike F. uses a revolving group of his favorite repertory players. Now don't take this as a swipe at Ryan; I still love my AHS. HOWEVER, I do think that Mike tends to write for and utilize his actors better than Ryan does. I can only think of a couple of seasons of AHS that I'd stack up to USHER, and I'm still hesitant to do so.
In my opinion, this particular episode is *far* better than the original story. The original story was just dumb to me from the first time I read it as a kid. Why would a orangutan (a very calm animal) use a razor to murder a lady, and how would they know how to slit a throat? Not to mentionthe eyewitnesses reported hearing two people talking but the 2nd voice turned out to be the orangutan--how could someone mistake a monkey screeching as talking.
The whole story was just utterly ridiculous, and I feel this was a far better adaptation. It changes it to a chimpanzee which is far more aggressive and dangerous, and makes sense why an angry chimp would even be there in the first place.
I loved that he uses the same actors in different roles. He also used a lot of these actors in Doctor Sleep which was also amazing.
yay! been waiting for this episode! You guys need to watch The Midnight Club also by Mike Flanagan!
Y'all need to watch Talk to Me
So if you hadn’t caught on yet, the episode titles are based on Poe stories, and hints at the fates of the characters.
This shows how twisted and cruel the Uber rich of the world really are. It shows how they operate and how they treat people like objects to be used
Oh hell. I know the writer. We weren't friends because she disliked me intensely for some reason, but I have to give her props for this. Even if begrudgingly.
I don't care how rich i got, if someone starts threatens me while fucking levitanting I. AM. OUT.
Muy buena presentación
Is the actor playing the role of the younger version prosecutor a cop in another movie? Like in the Saw franchise or something like that? Its driving me nuts & i cant figure out where ive seen him.
He plays a cop in the series IZombie if that’s what you’re thinking of?
@bunnyslippers5183 oh my gosh...I missed ur response & been rewatching their reactions & yes u are so right! That is exactly where I know him from. Sorry I'm 8 months late, but thank u so much. Not sure why I was thinking Saw, but it's definitely izombie. Ur awesome! Thank u❤💞❤️
En realidad es un buen programa
Pym has pretty much the same appeal as Shades from Luke Cage. In a realistic crime story, he'd be this super unstoppable badass, but he has the bad luck to be in a supernatural horror story instead.
Excelente panelistas
I know it's been a minute since you've seen a monsterverse film but have you considered reviewing Shin Godzilla? It's a 2016 film with a reimagined godzilla that's a little bit more sad then normal and it's more realistic/real world based in terms of how the humans deal with him.
Kate Siegel should be a HUGE star!! Not only is she stunningly gorgeous, she has such a huge range!! She is a completely different person in every role she's in. Theo from Hill House was cold because her tactile psychic abilities made her shut herself off from the world. Camille, however, is just a savage of the business world. Her disconnection from the world is due to her selfishness and ruthlessness, a true narcissist.
I've seen Hill House, Midnight Mass and Usher and all are well acted, written and directed. For me Midnight Mass is the best, then Hill House and last Usher. Usher comes in last because out of the main characters there is only one or two even remotely likable ones. In Midnight Mass, there was only one true villain and that was Bev! Everyone else on the island you loved or like or at least felt sorry for. Usher has pretty much none! I only wish that Bev could have suffered each one of the Ushers deaths. She got off too easy in Mass!
This is just something fun I never picked up: Verna is an anagram for Raven. As in Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven." Not a spoiler, it's never brought up in the show. Also, something else to note, I don't recall if you guys brought it up in your other reactions, but the Ushers are like the Sackler family. Last random fun fact that's not a spoiler, but fun to notice, is that Roderick's boss's name is Rufus Griswold. That's the same name of the guy who tried to destroy Edgar Allan Poe's reputation. This show is FULL of non-spoiler easter eggs. I love how each episode is like a different Poe story and some have poem pieces!
The Raven does show up later.
Ese Manes ❤️❤️
FINALLY! someone who understands my severe dislike of monkeys/chimps/etc.... terrifying. Awful. Cannabistic. ...Worse than humans in some ways.
Did you know that Carla Gugino's villain Verna is a anagram for Raven. She is actually a demon who used to be the Angel of Karma so it explains why she could shape-shift to the raven to a beautiful woman and come out of nowhere and change her looks, clothing and style and accent.
Geniales amigos
Will start commenting on all yout videos henceforth till you react to the vampire diaries
Do you guys know why they use 'Lemon'? Because the real world we use 'A**le'
Super
Kaithi ??????❤

Can't believe they actually named the drug Ligmadome.
Play around with the letters in the name "Verna."
To the second guy from left who said that he doesn't like "chimps and monkeys". First of all, chimps are apes just like humans (we share almost 99% DNA) and all the torture that humans put those innocent apes through are unspeakable. They get poached in the wild, the babies are brutally taken from their mothers (who get killed in the most horrific ways trying to save the babies) and get sold to the black market as pets. The few that survive will have a terrible life full of trauma and depression. They will be kept in small cages until their death or until they get killed. We destroy their habitat, they starve to death, we experiment of them. These extremely intelligent and gentle creatures get subjected to the worst and then, there are people with the IQ of an apple that sum it all up with a "I don't like chimps and monkeys". Education is key, animal cruelty is an illness.
Chimps are not gentle creatures. Bonobos are what you are thinking of, as are other great apes in general but chimpanzees are actually pretty violent in the wild. Chimp on chimp violence happens, there is documented evidence of it. Chimps are definitely affected by habitat loss, poaching and captivity, so protection, conservation and education about the situation is necessary. But chimps being violent, stronger than humans and so human-like does make them terrifying to a lot of people. It's a legitimate fear or at least dislike.

This show sucked
Stopped watching after the first episode.. Sadly it didnt grab my interest and i was getting very boring Bly Manor vibes from it. Hill House was amazing, Bly Manor was a good love story but a horrible horror show. I get the feeling House of Usher is another let down.
Nope, it is great. If you know Poe, the coming deaths are amazing. The dialogue is fantastic, and Flannagan's crew is killing it...literally.😂👍
You all are taking your own sweet time with this one 🥲. So hard to wait.
I love when I go on lunch and the second I sit down I get a Badd Medicine notification 🫶🏻 perfect timing. I’ve also never been this early to anything ever 😂
This Lemon speech is even better than the one in Portal.
