The story follows Philip Winthrop as he arrives at the eerie House of Usher to visit his fiancée, Madeline Usher. There, he encounters her brother, Roderick Usher, who warns him of the family's cursed lineage and the tragic fate it brings. As Philip attempts to rescue Madeline from the oppressive influence of her brother, he uncovers dark secrets that threaten not only his love but also his own safety. Surrounded by a decaying mansion and an unsettling atmosphere, Philip is forced to confront the terrifying legacy of the Usher family. This film, marked as culturally significant by the U.S. National Film Registry, captures the haunting themes of madness, isolation, and despair.
