House of Usher
Edgar Allan Poe's demonic tale of The Ungodly... The Evil House of Usher
Directed by Roger Corman
Produced by Alta Vista Productions, American International Pictures
A Gothic horror meditation on familial curse and psychological decay, where a decaying mansion and its tortured inhabitants embody the weight of inherited evil.
Convinced that his family is tainted by generations of evil, Roderick Usher is hellbent on stopping his sister Madeline’s wedding to prevent the cursed Usher bloodline from expanding. When her fiancé Philip Winthrop arrives at the crumbling estate to claim his bride, Roderick goes to ruthless—even deadly—lengths to keep them apart.
