The Fall of the House of Usher
Directed by Jean Epstein
Produced by Films Jean Epstein
A gothic horror tale of familial curse and psychological decay, where ancestral evil and obsession drive a man to desperate, violent acts.
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 Allan arrives at the crumbling estate to claim his bride, Roderick goes to ruthless—even deadly—lengths to keep them apart.
