A wonderful film, and one I covered in 2017, and the original might make a comeback (if I can figure how to recover it!) but the film is a masterpiece of the idea that LA itself is Magic!

The Fall of the House of Usher was the American path into the Avant Garde for film. The concept of American Cinematic Storytelling was still cooling on the window-sill, but here we see how it all came together and why a fantastical film is the only one that can move forward the state of the visual art.
