I see this movie because the poster is great but....

I couldn´t finish to watch is too slow and too boring.

The acting is terrible, and the production is very mediocre.

Next time i will watch the trailer before.

I've read the other reviews and I think people are taking this movie too seriously. The synopsis says "based" on the Poe short, and it's got a female twist so right away, I knew not to expect a true adaptation of the famous Poe short.

Any low budget indie film has some flaws, but these filmmakers do a decent job with some twists. It isn't a horror or a thriller, there's no gore or even any jump scares but it was suspenseful and weird.

I think this was a tongue-in-cheek nod to budget or genre filmmaking. The costumes are over the top and there's a goat head on the dinner table. I read the trivia, there's no mention of David Lynch or Elephant Man, but the brother is eating creamed corn (Twin Peaks) at the dinner table and wears a mask with one eye opening. If the director reads this, please let me know if this is a nod to David Lynch cuz he looks like the Elephant Man drinking from a sippy cup. My wife and I laughed when I pointed it out.

There are some movie references throughout and if you follow the clues, the end isn't a surprise. Frankly the filmmakers point you in that direction so I don't think it was supposed to be some huge reveal. There's definitely a "holy crap, is he going to do it?" moment and the director (or editor) took it right to the edge.

The lead actor who plays Lady Usher was given some accolades in some of the critical reviews online and I think she does deliver. She's cold and downright mean. Not a mother I'd want to subject my wife to. The others are decent enough in their roles. And if you read the credits, one of the actors played two parts. The camera emphasized his eyes in both roles. Another indicator to me that the filmmakers were having some fun making the movie.

The movie won some awards, so obviously judges at film festivals liked it. I'm giving this a ten. We had fun watching it and even though it may have been a slow burn, it works for this genre.

Well, the "The Fall of the House of Usher" from Edgar Allan Poe certainly is a classic, so I must admit that I was expecting something in terms of a properly entertaining movie when I sat down to watch "Lady Usher" from writer and director George Adams.

However, I found myself to be in for some less than mediocre movie, truth be told. I made it a little bit more than half way through, then I just couldn't take it anymore. Why? Well, because the storyline told here was rather mundane and devoid of anything particularly thrilling or interesting. And a modern take on Poe's classic tale wasn't really such a great idea as it turned out.

The storyline here was just too boring and slow paced, and it was made even more unbearable with the fact that nothing interesting or exciting happened, well, unless you consider people sitting around and talking to be interesting, then by all means go to town.

The acting in the movie was every bit as bland and subpar as the storyline. However, I don't think that the performances of the actors and actresses were to blame, but it was the fact that the performers virtually had nothing solid or workable to make use of, and that showed on the screen.

And it didn't really help the movie much in any way that the character gallery had about as much luster and appeal as white wall paint.

"Lady Usher" was a swing and a miss from writer and director George Adams, and this is certainly not a movie I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. And if you are a fan of the classic Edgar Allan Poe tale, then savor the classic and skip on this one entirely.

My rating of "Lady Usher" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.
