House of Usher
Vincent Price, Mark Damon, Myrna Fahey, Harry Ellerbe
Modern American horror begins here, as does Vincent Price’s ascent to cult stardom!
Amid sets both Gothic and gorgeous, Roderick Usher’s dubious possession of his sister, Madeline, is barring her beau, Philip, from marrying her. But the strength of Philip’s intentions pales next to the siblings’ latent madness: an incestuous malady quenched only by fear and fame. Through a crimson command of colour and framing, ...Usher heralds Corman’s amour fou with Poe - and the new dawn of widescreen horror.
