The Fall of Usher

I'll agree with others that the start of the story was slow, but one you make it through the first 20 minutes, you find yourself wondering how all the bits are going to tie together and what's going to happen next. It's anybodies guess and the macabre of Poe, is really evident. The music show is fantastic and the acting and direction was well done when considering this is isn't a multi million dollar blockbuster budget. It was low budget and should be compared as such. It reminds me of when movies were made for the passion of art of the story, not as an investment opportunity. Definitely worth a watch.

I watched about 20 minutes of it, slow, dull, the way the guy narrates it simply doesn't work. I dislike not finishing a movie, but I just felt that I couldn't be bothered to continue on with it.

This mimics the style of Poes tales so it's a psychological horror movie presented by an unreliable narrator. I'm not a fan of the typical slasher horror genre. This movie is not so easily classified. The set is confined to one house and is narrated by someone who seems to be on the brink of insanity. This movie held my attention and I found the focus on the main character dealing with extreme stress intriguing. It does have graphic violence but not to the excess of many horror movies. It's not for children and no typical slutty sex of some horror genres. It explores relationships so it's more for adults who appreciate such. I think it's worth watching.

The Fall of Usher (2021) is a movie that I recently watched on Prime. The storyline follows a young man taking care of his father with no other real purpose. He begins seeing strange things around his house and can't tell if they're real or his imagination; or simply, they are his demise and he's just here to tell you how and why...

This movie is written and directed by Brian Cunningham (Overtime) and stars Spencer Korcz (Wretch), Michael R Mcguire, James Tackett (United We Fall), Savannah Schafer (Beasts of the Field) and Riker Hill (Tears in the Snow).

Everything about the main character is annoying - his look, voice, narrations, mannerisms, your okay with pretty much anything that happens to him in the movie. The storyline is nothing special and the cinematography for a modern film was disappointing, even if there were a couple good scenes with how they used lighting. The background sound effects and corpses were good, but the horror elements were lacking and nothing special.

Overall, this was nothing special and not worth your time. I would score this a 2.5/10 and recommend skipping it.

This movie couldn't have possibly been any worse. They made a terrible choice casting the lead role. I would say that hair and costuming made him look terrible, but it's more likely he just showed up wearing whatever he wanted to. No care was put into this. The narration is poorly written and exponentially more grating than your common movie narration, which is a pretty weak device in the first place. I'm sure the filmmakers have never read the source material and probably don't even really like Poe's stories. They just needed an IP to attach to their weak efforts for increased visibility. The worst ever.
