The Fall of the House of Usher is of a deluded man who poisoned his sisters mind to make her think she was dyeing. when she went to university she met a man he then came to take her to be wed but her brother would not let her go. then strange things start in the old Victorian house.
We can tell it is of the horror genre by the fact that in the opening sequence there is a lonely rider riding through trees. the camera is staying behind the trees so it looks as though he is be stalk by something evil. also it is set in a old Victorian house that is very cliche'.
The film was written by Edger Allen Poe in 1839and made by AIP (American International Pictures) (turned in to metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) and they used Roger Corman as the director. They did this to make money due to the audience knowing that Corman is good at changing Poe's novels into films
The need of the audience was to get enjoyment out of the suspense and thrill of being left in the larch. This makes for adrenalin so the body get excited. I feel that if the audience were quite into the mind games this would be a very strong movie for them to watch. Also around the time faith was a strong part of the normal life, due to this it would have a strong influence on what people saw in the movie and the write and wrongs. Because of all this the film producers new tht all this would malke alot of money.
