Fall of the House of Usher
One of the many reasons that I idolize Mr. Price...brilliant performance here.

One of the greatest Corman Poe adaptations. As you say- Price is brilliant. Same with his role in Ligeia.

just watched NIGHT TIDE (1961) staring a very young Dennis Hopper. Some nice eerie b/w photography and a moody seaside setting, but otherwise a snoozer.

"Night Tide" is an inexpensive movie but it has a lot going for it in atmosphere. Early Curtis Harrington--a great and underappreciated filmmaker.

The atmosphere was certainly the best part. It was also strange to see Hopper play a super nice, innocent character. He would go on to become so great at playing psychos. The movie probably would have worked better as a Twilight Zone episode.

Yeah i thought it was a great film - it reminded me a lot of Carnival of Souls. I've only seen a few other Curtis Harrington films but I really like How Awful about Alan...I have What's the Matter with Helen? andWhoever Slew Auntie Roo? on DVD but I've yet to watch em..

I saw Spook Warfare (1968) not too long ago. That was somewhat cheesy fun.
Just before that I saw Horror of Dracula (1958) at a friend's house. Its her favorite horror movie ever (she likes the early stuff).

"The Deadly Mantis" (1957)
A giant prehistoric bug terrorizes the world. One of the great cheesy fun monster movies from the '50's. Bad FX. Melodramatic acting and just loads of fun. |
