Edgar Allan Poe’s overwhelming tale of evil and torment!
A young man arrives at a crumbling mansion to visit his fiancée, only to find her brother, Roderick Usher, obsessed with a family curse and determined to keep her from leaving. As madness, fear, and supernatural forces close in, the house itself seems to decay in tandem with its doomed inhabitants. This gothic horror classic, directed by Roger Corman, blends eerie atmosphere, psychological dread, and Poe-inspired tragedy in a tale of love trapped by death and destiny.
