About
"The Usher clan is long accursed, and the current generation is already suffering from this antediluvian misfortune. When Philip arrives at the melancholy Usher mansion to find his fiancée Madeline in a catatonic state, her brother Roderick explains the family scourge. As long as more than one Usher sibling survives, they all go insane or suffer ghastly deaths. Roderick is not only otherworldly—he is a deranged murderer who buries his unconscious sister alive." - MoMA, New York
