| Roger
Corman, the man who gave his autobiography the title of How I Made
100 Films in Hollywood and Never Lost a Dime, the man who gave their
first chance to directors like Coppola or Demme, one of North Amercian
fantasy’s biggest names, directed in the 60s various adaptations
of Edgar Allan Poe. House of Usher, the first on the
list, is undoubtedly one of the most famous and one of his best films.
With a script written by the great Richard Matheson, author of, among
others, I Am Legend (the origin, confessed or not, of many titles)
and The Incredible Shrinking Man, and with the presence of the
always elegant and matchless Vincent Price, the movie is an example of
Corman’s talent and a disturbing horror film, intelligent, beautiful
and gothic, claustrophobic and classic. |
