House of Usher (1960). Cursed! This is the creepy theme of this wonderful adaption of a Poe classic. Slow moving in a eerie way, this one is never boring. With all of the classic themes for classic horror, fog and bats and castles and such, the background here only set the canvas for Vincent Price to create his horrible magic, a pathetic and sinister man that exudes a feline sense that he may pounce at any time. The story itself unraveled perfectly upon the lavish sets. The direction and camera work were solid. The acting of course sublime. They certainly don't make them like this anymore. Merci beaucoup.
