Edgar Allen Poe Double Feature!
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.
This is an awesome Edgar Allen Poe double feature.
The Pit & The Pendulum has always been my favorite Vincent Price movie. A man arrives at the castle demanding to see his sister, but is told by both her husband & her doctor that she died a mysterious death. Price plays the part of the husband, and claims that his father was insane & killed his mother when he caught her cheating with his brother. This was done in his torture chamber in the basement where the bodies remained. Little by little, Price becomes posessed by his late father, and ... well, you'll just have to watch the movie to enjoy the twist at the end.
In tacky 60's style, The Fall of the House of Usher is about a desperate man who visits his fiance at her spooky home with her crazy brother (Vincent Price) who won't let the couple be together due to the strange family illness which claimed the lives of all other Usher relatives who were, of course, buried in the basement.
These are both excellent movies, but I rated them GOOD due to bad acting, which actually give the old movies their sense of character.
