Fantastic. One of the best for both Vincent Price and Roger Corman, House of Usher is atmospheric, creepy and classy. Certainly recommended.

Classic, richly photographed, featuring one of Vincent Price's finest performances, well-crafted screenplay, a visual masterpiece of dread and doom, executed in grand style and satisfying conclusion.
