The Fall Of The House Of Usher

I heard her first feeble movements in the coffin… we had put her living in the tomb!

Vincent Price stars as Roderick Usher in the first of director Roger Corman's celebrated Edgar Allen Poe adaptations. Convinced that his family's blood is tainted by generations of evil, Usher is hell-bent on destroying his sister Madeline's wedding. But when Madeline's fiance arrives at the haunted castle to claim his lovely bride, he soon discovers that, for this family, their house is more than just a home… it's their tomb.

Critic Reviews:

• " Vincent Price starts his scary-reign in colourful gothic horror style. " – Kim Newman

• " A hallucinatory swirl of a movie that has the feel of an especially sharp nightmare. " – Keith Phipps

• " Corman's filmmaking runs on unchanneled energy and apocalyptic emotions; his is an art without craft. " – Dave Kehr
