The first of Roger Corman's Edgar Allan Poe films, Fall of the House of Usher was originally released as simply House of Usher. Vincent Price stars as the foredoomed Roderick Usher. Living in his decaying family mansion with his young sister Madeline (Myrna Fahey), Roderick does his best to shoo away Madeline's fiance Philip Winthrop (Mark Damon). He tells the young swain that Madeline suffers from the family curse of encroaching madness, and thus cannot be permitted to bear children. After a series of suspicious, near-fatal accidents, Phillip insists that Madeline be allowed to leave with him at once. But Roderick sadly announces that this is impossible: Madeline has died, and is slated to be entombed. Informed by the family butler that Madeline has previously been prone to near-catatonic spells, Phillip angrily insists that the girl may very well have been buried alive. The climactic conflagration would be recycled as stock footage in future Corman/Poe efforts, as would the set representing the Usher home. ~ Hal Erickson, RoviIf You Like this movie you can streaming House of Usher (The Fall of the House of Usher) movie without downloading HERE

Review For Movie House of Usher (The Fall of the House of Usher)
It's not precisely the Edgar Allan Poe short story that emerges in House of Usher, but it's a reasonably diverting and handsomely mounted variation.Variety Staff-Variety
Corman's filmmaking runs on unchanneled energy and apocalyptic emotions; his is an art without craft.
Dave Kehr-Chicago Reader
The sickly decadence and claustrophobia of the Usher household is admirably evoked by Floyd Crosby's 'Scope photography and Daniel Haller's art direction.
Geoff Andrew-Time Out
Under the low-budget circumstances, Vincent Price and Myrna Fahey should not be blamed for portraying the decadent Ushers with arch affectation, nor Mark Damon held to account.
Eugene Archer-New York Times
Weird and a touch silly, but despite being a B-picture made by a B-studio, neither Roger Corman nor Richard Matheson treat the film as a disposable drive-in time-waster.
Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy
A classical vessel for Roger Corman's modernist anxiety
Fernando F. Croce-CinePassion
A superlative Corman/AIP effort and a great beginning to a varying but always interesting series of horror films.
-TV Guide's Movie Guide
When Corman pitched the project to his superiors at American International Pictures, they asked, 'where's the monster?' Corman quickly replied, 'the house is the monster.'
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid
Certainly some elements are dated now, and Price's fellow actors can't hold a candle to him, but Usher still holds up as an example of stately suspense that doesn't resort to gore, monsters, or overuse of shock effects.
Mark Bourne-DVDJournal.com
It's one of the better Poe versions made by Corman, if not his best.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
A primeira das oito parcerias entre Corman e Price funciona maravilhosamente bem até os quinze minutos finais, quando passa a depender de Fahey para assustar.
Pablo Villaca-Cinema em Cena
Corman's bid for respectability nearly works.
Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
The Poe-inspired source material occasionally rises above the Corman-fueled production.
Christopher Null-Filmcritic.com
Quite possibly the finest combination of Corman, Price and Poe.
Scott Weinberg-eFilmCritic.com
A thoroughly engaging entry in the literary horror landscape.
Jeremy Heilman-MovieMartyr.com
...not a gorefest, nor is it particularly suspenseful or terrifying, but it does create an effectively aggressive and disturbing tone.
John J. Puccio-Movie Metropolis
