Based on Edgar Allan Poe’s gothic tale ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’ and masterfully directed by Roger Corman, House of Usher (1960) follows Roderick Usher, played by the iconic Vincent Price, a man who believes that his family is cursed by incurable madness. So sure is he of his family’s doom, that when his enigmatic sister Madeline announces her engagement to Philip Winthrop, Roderick will stop at nothing to prevent their marriage and keep the Usher bloodline from continuing.
House of the Usher is a timeless unsettling masterpiece that continues to captivate and terrify audiences. The film’s power lies in its uncanny ability to tap into the darkest corners of the human psyche and to remind us that the past can haunt us in ways we may never fully comprehend…
