Netflix has pulled out all the stops to give the film a directly inspired vibe A sick work of Edgar Allan Poe. Often the characters of this terrible tale are revealed fog in one night or illuminated candlelight. It seems we can smell them too it’s terribly coldas cold-blooded barbaric murders is the key to the secret.
