Film 'oddity'.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS REVIEW IS FOR 'HOUSE OF USHER' ONLY:
An alternative title could be: 'Mad Madeline'!
'The Fall Of The House Of Usher' is an odd film. It's comparatively short (just one and a quarter hours) yet can seem considerably longer. A meagre cast with very little happening for most of its duration. However, this is based on a novel by Edgar Allen Poe, (which I have not yet read but intend to) and I should imagine that the book is probably more atmospheric. Not that the movie did not try to capture this, but somehow the house interior for me was just not 'creepy' enough. The guy's distinctive 1950s hairstyle did not help...
This is a movie for some reason I watch time and time again - not sure why though.
