Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
It's not precisely the Edgar Allan Poe short story that emerges in House of Usher, but it's a reasonably diverting and handsomely mounted variation.
– Variety Staff,
Variety,
18 Aug 2008
fresh:
Corman's filmmaking runs on unchanneled energy and apocalyptic emotions; his is an art without craft.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Reader,
25 Sep 2007
fresh:
The sickly decadence and claustrophobia of the Usher household is admirably evoked by Floyd Crosby's 'Scope photography and Daniel Haller's art direction.
– Geoff Andrew,

rotten:
Under the low-budget circumstances, Vincent Price and Myrna Fahey should not be blamed for portraying the decadent Ushers with arch affectation, nor Mark Damon held to account.
