House of Usher (1960)

House of Usher (1960) Philip Winthrop calls upon his fiancA?e, Madeline Usher, at her family home. His presence is unwelcome, especially to Madeline’s brother, Roderick. Roderick explains that the Ushers are cursed, suffering from hereditary physical defects. By Madeline marrying Winthrop this would only likely continue the affliction. It soon becomes clear that something sinister is afoot: not only due to Roderick’s determination to prevent Madeline from leaving but also due to the evil that seems to lurk in the house itself. ??grantssAwards: 3 winsBudget: $200,000 (estimated)
