Product Description

HE BURIED HER ALIVE... TO SAVE HIS SOUL!

When exploitation maestro Roger Corman decided to raise his game by hiring Vincent Price to star in an adaptation of a classic tale by Edgar Allan Poe, he set in train a series of Poe adaptations that would redefine American horror cinema.

When Philip Winthrop (Mark Damon) visits his fiancée Madeleine Usher (Myrna Fahey) in her crumbling family mansion, her brother Roderick (Price) tries to talk him out of the wedding, explaining that the Usher family is cursed and that extending its bloodline will only prolong the agony. Madeleine wants to elope with Philip, but neither of them can predict what ruthless lengths Roderick will go to in order to keep them apart.

Richard Matheson's intelligent, literate script is enhanced by Floyd Crosby's stylish widescreen cinematography, but it's Vincent Price's anguished conviction in one of his signature roles that makes the film so chillingly memorable over half a century on.

Special Features:

  • Limited Edition SteelBookTM packaging
  • High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation
  • Optional English SDH subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing
  • Audio commentary with director and producer Roger Corman
  • Interview with director and former Corman apprentice Joe Dante
  • Through the Pale Door: A Specially-commissioned video essay by critic and filmmaker David Cairns examining Corman s film in relation to Poe s story
  • Archival interview with Vincent Price
  • Original Trailer
  • Collector s booklet featuring new writing on the film by author and critic Tim Lucas and an extract from Vincent Price s long out of print autobiography, illustrated with original archive stills and posters
  • And more to be announced!

    5.0 out of 5 starsVery impressive blu ray!
    By Adrian Drew TOP 500 REVIEWER on 28 Aug. 2013
    Verified Purchase
    This beautifully designed steelbook is bound to please Corman fans everywhere and Poe enthusiasts too!
    Roger Corman decision to hire Vincent Price for his American International Pictures adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's classic tales resulted in a critical and commercial success story way beyond his expectations and his first attempt in "The Fall of the House of Usher" originally entitled "House of Usher", is one of his finest films.

    The story of Philip Winthrop (Mark Damon) visiting his fiancée Madeleine Usher (Myrna Fahey) in the family mansion of the title where her brother Roderick (Vincent Price in one of his finest and well thought out roles) clearly has problems of his own is quite close to the Poe original and the elaborate and ornate visual style of the film mirrors well Poe's highly wrought prose - an element well complemented by Richard Matheson's literate script and Floyd Crosby's stylish widescreen cinematography.

    Arrow Video's new high quality Blu-ray retains the original aspect ratio of 2.35:1 on this Region B locked dual-layer disc.

    Despite a few minor print (and original production) issues the high-definition transfer ( made from a mint 35mm interpositive) is admirable with vivid colours (truly popping reds!) and excellent saturation, and black levels and extraordinary detail throughout when the original material allows such a presentation. Film grain remains intact and there is no over- sharpening or machine noise anywhere. What flaws exist (some discolouration and shifting print quality) is probably an original production issue. Don't forget the production budgets for these movies were tiny and Corman created a minor miracle in producing his stunning on screen production values.    Read more ›

    This wonderful 1960 film has received a terrific showcase in this SteelBook edition. There is a great booklet with informative detail and the extras include critics observations plus Roger Corman's own commentary on the film. This makes for a superb companion to the film from the man who made it happen. The colour print and transfer are a great treat - I am delighted both with this and with the same edition of Pit and the Pendulum.

    THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER [1960] [Limited Edition SteelBook] [Blu-ray] EDGAR ALLAN POE’S Overwhelming Tale of EVIL and TORMENT! He Buried Her Alive... To Save His Soul!

    When exploitation maestro Roger Corman decided to raise his game by hiring Vincent Price to star in an adaptation of a classic tale by Edgar Allan Poe, he set in train a series of Poe adaptations that would redefine American horror cinema.

    When Philip Winthrop [Mark Damon] visits his fiancée Madeleine Usher [Myrna Fahey] in her crumbling family mansion, her brother Roderick Usher [Vincent Price] tries to talk him out of the wedding, explaining that the Usher family is cursed and that extending its bloodline will only prolong the agony.

    Richard Matheson's intelligent, literate script is enhanced by Floyd Crosby's stylish widescreen cinematography, but its Vincent Price's anguished conviction in one of his signature roles that makes the film so chillingly memorable over half a century on.

    FILM FACT: The macabre Usher family portraits seen throughout the film were painted by a West Coast artist named Burt Schoenberg, who was, according to Roger Corman, "...having something of a vogue in what would I say was post-beatnik, pre-hippie coffeehouses and art galleries in Hollywood." Many in the cast and crew, including renowned art historian Vincent Price, were taken with the artist's work and took home a painting following the shoot.    Read more ›

    5.0 out of 5 starsTop Marks for Blu-Ray Presentation.
    By E. A. Redfearn VINE VOICE on 27 Aug. 2015
    It has been many years since I first saw this film on the cinema, and to this day, it has remained one of my favourite Vincent Price films (along with the other Corman classic, Pit and The Pendulum.) Made on a low budget with minimal sets, the production values throughout are first class; enhanced by the presence of one of the finest screen actors of all time, Vincent Price, whose performance as the tortured and mentally unstable Roderick Usher is one of his best. Aided by a very good supporting cast, Myrna Fahey playing Madeleine Usher and Mark Damon as her lover. I already had a copy on VHS Video, as well as a cheapo DVD, but when I heard that this was coming out on blu-ray as a steelbook edition, I knew I had to buy this. I was so glad I did because the blu-ray presentation HD 1080p is superb. The sound is PCM 2.0 Audio but is quite good considering the age of the film. The story is well known, so there is no need for me to repeat it here. There are some interesting extras on the disc worth watching. There is also a 27 page booklet containing many interesting facts about the production which will satisfy film historians. Overall, a really worthwhile purchase.
