I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

This is one of the scariest movies you will ever see. It has great acting. It also has great special effects. If it does not scary you no movie will. It has a great special effects. It is scarier then A Nightmare on elm street. See this movie. It is great.

I am sorry I watched this movie. What a waste of time ! No plot, no respect for the story, no terror, no nothing. Not even Vincent Price's play could save this stereotype, boring, colorless movie. It was an absurd situation, with a permanent hesitating lover, who just has stupid dialogues instead of acting, taking his fiancée away.

The first of Roger Corman's Edgar Allan Poe Adaptations opens with a stark, ultra-bleak landscape, as Mark Damon plays Philip Winthrop, who arrives on horseback to see his love Madeline Usher(played by Myrna Fahey) only to be told by her brother Roderick Usher(Vincent Price, superb) that she has fallen into a catatonic state, and he is afflicted with overly acute senses, rendering him listless. Apparently, the Usher's are under a curse that has finally taken affect on them, and their mansion. Philip refuses to believe this, but stays in hopes of helping Madeline, though events will prove to be beyond his control...First-rate adaptation of the memorable short story is atmospherically directed by Roger Corman and well written by Richard Matheson, both conveying well the palpable sense of gloom and decay that has afflicted the Usher estate. A bit slow at times, but a minor quibble in such a striking film.

Hmmm, odd that I have never seen this movie before now in 2013, especially since I enjoy horror movies as much as I do. And I do realize that having missed out on watching this movie, I have indeed missed out on a classic. I think initially my reason for not having seen it prior to now has been because it is so old. But again, I was dead wrong, because this movie is ageless it seems - even in 2013 it is very enjoyable and entertaining.Right, well I am not going to go into the layout of the storyline, as this is a classic and most people should be up to speed with it by now - unless they, like me, shrugged it off given its age.The movie was really directed quite nicely by Roger Corman, and he has indeed managed to put together nothing short of a classic masterpiece.And the movie is really well acted, by the four people that were in it. I was a bit surprised that there were only four people to the cast list, so they had a lot riding on their shoulders. But they all delivered really well; good performances, believable performances and the characters were nicely detailed and fleshed out. There is sort of a thespian-feel to the acting-style in the movie, sort of something that transcends ordinary movie acting.There was a really nice Gothic feel to the entire movie, and the details of the house, the decor and decorating was just mind-numbingly beautiful. There were so many details that I believe the movie deserves a second watching, just to take in all of these.The story in "The Fall of the House of Usher" is timeless and it have enough weight and contents to support more than a single viewing.If you, like me, have been putting off watching this movie, then I strongly suggest you wait no longer. "The Fall of the House of Usher" is a classic and a masterpiece that belongs on the DVD collection of any movie fanatic and fan of the horror genre.
