Usher didn't rush her, but maybe needed to! - The Fall of the House of Usher review by LL
I love Vincent Price, but this movie was a bit of a drag at times. Would have been better to make it a short story in with a series of other short stories rather than a feature length film. Compare this to 'Masque of the Red Death' or 'Theatre of Blood' where Price is in his element and the story is full, varied and never boring.
