The book behind the movie

The Fall of the House of Usher and Other Tales

by Edgar Allan Poe, Stephen Marlowe

Patrick Picard's The Bloodhound reworks the atmosphere and relational pattern of Poe's “The Fall of the House of Usher” through Francis, who answers an invitation from his wealthy, isolated friend Jean Paul and stays in a decaying Los Angeles residence haunted by an absent twin sister. The contemporary film builds its own ambiguous household routines, dependency, surveillance, and possibly supernatural intrusions rather than retelling Roderick and Madeline's burial. Poe's visitor, disturbed host, twin presence, enclosing house, and collapse of rational certainty form the deliberate Gothic framework.
