The 2006 House Of Usher film (as opposed to the countless other versions, most recently in 2008) is dull as all hell.
Plainly put. Not much else to say. It's far too bland to even bother typing a review. It's a shoddy little piece. Relatively faithful to the original story, but a bland and tiresome film regardless.
Move on. Buy something interesting. Like, I dunno, Blood Monkey- which I might review some time in the next few weeks.
Since an IMDb review requires 10 or more lines, I suppose I really must elaborate: The film is tosh. It's trash. It's garbage. It takes the dry classical texts of Poe and vacuum seals them, taking out what little life remained from the distinctly dated original works. It borrows only the most obvious aspects of the story, ignores subtlety, and pisses on the livelier bits of the original story. I'm hard pressed to care about it, and even more pressed to write a review for a film so utterly pointless.
Curse it. Curse it back to the burned out pit it most inevitably came from.
