With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for people who like the lights on afterwards and horror fans. The scares come from the creaks and shadows as much as the jumps. Shelve it next to Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark or Doctor Sleep.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 24 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Rated R: expect sex.
- Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.
Victor Reynolds arrives at the notorious House of Usher, whereupon he is greeted by old acquaintances Roderick and Madeline Usher and their servant, Markus. As Victor uncovers more about the history of the house and the disappearances of those that entered it previously, he begins to realize that he is in mortal danger.
