Review of The Fall of the House of Usher (1928) by Aaron W — 15 Oct 2012
While not as flashy as Griffith's photography in "Birth of a Nation" Epstien made a film that's photography is stark, beautiful, and horrifying all at the same time. Based off of one of Poe's most well-known short stories (and one of my personal favorites) the 1928 version of the film is every bit as intense as the story.
It maintains the imagery as Poe's story and gives it to us in spades. This is one of the greatest films of the silent era.
