		The Fall of the House of Usher By Edgar Allan Poe.
		I had learned, too, the very remarkable fact that the stem of the Usher race, all time-honored as it was, had put forth, at no period, any enduring branch; in other words, that the entire family lay in the direct line of descent, and had always, with very trifling and very temporary variation, so lain.
		The disease which had thus entombed the lady in the maturity of youth, had left, as usual in all maladies of a strictly cataleptical character, the mockery of a faint blush upon the bosom and the face, and that suspiciously lingering smile upon the lip which is so terrible in death.

	The Fall Of The House Of Usher
		The Fall Of The House Of Usher is not so much a horror film as a cross somewhere between a Shakespearean tragedy and a 19th Century penny-dreadful, and it lacks a traditional monster attraction.
		There is the house of course- the stark realm of the doomed Usher family; malignant, and rotting with the ancient curse that imprisons them.
		The terrain surrounding the house is flened and lifeless, itself tainted by generations of the Usher curse, foretelling the mystery and peril that awaits Phillip the usurper.

		In “The Fall of the House of Usher,” Edger Allan Poe introduces three characters, each being a unique person with a distinct personality, yet tied together by the same type of mental disorder.

		Roderick and his twin sister Madeline are the last of the all time-honored "House of Usher." They are both suffering from rather strange illnesses which may be attributed to the intermarriage of the family.
		Poe uses the phrase "House of Usher" to refer to both the decaying physical structure and the last of the "all time-honored Usher race...." Roderick has developed a theory that the stones of the house have consciousness, and that they embody the fate of the Usher family.

		Usher himself is highly irrational; he follows his emotions rather than trying to appear reserved and proper when he first greets the narrator.
		In "The Fall of the House of Usher," the inevitable collapse of Roderick's lineage, house, and health, all portray the unavoidable reality that nothing ever lasts in the material world.
		In the end of his life, Roderick Usher is led to pursue the twinges of his emotions and senses because the physical dimension no longer has any impact on him in a positive, healthy way.

		This is when we meet Roderick Usher, a handsome, yet odd sort of fellow, who we learn has a painfully acute sensitivity of all the senses, preferring the dimmest of light, the blandest of food, the softest of clothing, the mildest of odor, and the quietest of sounds.
		You see, the house and the grounds were once fertile, and full of life, but evil overtook the Usher line, displayed in the many crimes perpetrated by the various ancestors, poisoning the family and the estate, or so says Roderick.
		The sins of the Usher line are blamed for the death and decay that have poisoned the grounds and made living in the house hazardous to health-- there are a lot of accidents.

		As he arrives, a certain fear infects his entire body, and he recalls that this place is called the "House of Usher" because it has always been inhabited by the Usher family, and also the phrase refers to the family itself as one single house.
		Usher adds that the grim, decaying surroundings of the family mansion are partly to blame for his depression, as well as the gradual decline of his sister Madeline, who will soon be dead because of her illness, which no doctor has been able to identify or treat effectively.
		Usher is not overly distraught, for he already knew this to be inevitable, yet he insists on delaying her burial for two weeks.

	The Fall of the House of Usher
		As a result, Watson and Webber's Fall of the House of Usher—not to be confused with Jean Epstein and Luis Buñuel's version, also filmed as a silent in 1928—spends its 13 minutes creating a powerful, frightening, and thrillingly imaginative evocation of Poe's famously perverse tale.
		Melville and Webber are deliberate in letting the house tell its own story, as opposed to Poe, who filtered the tale through the perplexed vantage of the narrating traveler.
		The Fall of the House of Usher was added in 2000 to the National Film Registry maintained by the Library of Congress to preserve America's most treasured works of cinema.

		Upon my entrance, Usher arose from a sofa on which he had been lying at full length, and greeted me with a vivacious warmth which had much in it, I at first thought, of an overdone cordiality -- of the constrained effort of the ennuyé man of the world.
		For several days ensuing, her name was unmentioned by either Usher or myself: and during this period I was busied in earnest endeavours to alleviate the melancholy of my friend.

		I was, perhaps, the more forcibly impressed with it as he gave it, because, in the under or mystic current of its meaning, I fancied that I perceived, and for the first time, a full consciousness on the part of Usher of the tottering of his lofty reason upon her throne.
		The brother had been led to his resolution (so he told me) by consideration of the unusual character of the malady of the deceased, of certain obtrusive and eager inquiries on the part of her medical men, and of the remote and exposed situation of the burial-ground of the family.

	Attack of the 50 Foot DVD: The Fall of the House of Usher (1960)
		Philip Winthrop (Mark Damon) braves a particularly desolate area of 18th century New England to arrive at the palatial but decaying House of Usher; he is seeking his fiancee Madeline Usher (Myrna Fahey), who left Boston rather precipitously.
		Roderick feels not only is his sister succumbing to the disease, but that the Usher line is irredeemably tainted and evil...
		It is also a model of gothic horror, which may be its downfall for a modern audience - it is about mood and mystery, not shocks and splatter, and may seem tepid and tame to filmgoers raised on the excesses of Craven and Carpenter.

		The Fall of the House of Usher inaugurated director Roger Corman's moody, brooding adaptations (very loose adaptations, mind you) of Edgar Allan Poe's atmospheric horror tales, and it's a miniature masterpiece of shoestring-budget suspense cinema.
		Corman shot The Fall of the House of Usher in 15 days — the longest shooting schedule he'd had to that point — and on a budget of only $200,000.
		A special note to film school students: The real star of MGM's new DVD edition of The Fall of the House of Usher is Roger Corman, whose engaging commentary track is an 80-minute crash course on getting things right the first time.
