Quick Hit

House of Usher throws horror on screen with real nerve, but the finish is thin. A decent premise gets left on the table.

Full Take

You can feel the movie reaching for a hit from frame one. When the rhythm drags or the trick is obvious, it starts leaking air fast. Once the mood is set, everything comes down to whether the film can cash in its own setup. The set pieces are what matter, and this one gets some mileage out of them. That’s the difference between a curiosity and a real hit.
