The house makes sounds while the narrator tells the story and Roderick believes that Madeline is actually alive and making these sounds. Madeline soon dies due to insanity from the lack of oxygen from being buried alive by her brother. I believe that it’s more of mental illness that drives Madeline insane causing everyone to believe that she is sick. We find out later that Roderick’s sister, Madeline, has a more severe illness that is causing her to die. The crack in the house at the beginning shows how unstable the living is and foreshadows the destruction of the house at the end. Poe’s description of the house, emphasis the gothic nature of the story and his imagery of the sounds in the house show a depressing mood. In Robert Giordano’s words (pg 1) Poe’s short story, The Fall of the House of Usher, Poe tells a story about a person, just the narrator and his friend Roderick, who is dying of an illness. For me, looking at Poe, it was an eye opening film and watching something that I’ve just started like and but helps me gain a better understanding what Poe was actually portraying in his work. The Fall of The House of Usher is engaging and captivating for many individuals around. The Fall of the House of Usher is one piece of literary work that is constantly looked at by not only film-makers, but also with students, and many artist. Poe is notorious for his literary style being on the Gothic horror themed side, making anything he writes creepy and unnerving. Lovecraft mentions “psychologist will dispute and their admitted truth must establish for all time genuineness and dignity of the weirdly horrible tale as a literary form,” which I regarded this to Poe. Supernatural horror has and still plays a major role in film and in literature. While watching the film and analyzing and the film, I noticed I was looking to primarily the supernatural horror is possessed. I enjoyed and now I will go over the film of the Fall of the House of Usher. They had hundred of ideas but this one stuck out because I like horror movies.So one night we had a big film fest and watched it with a whole lot of other movies.

I thought I have seen Saving Private Ryan tons of times and love it but I decided to ask my media major friends what would be a good film that people hardly know. It all started when I was informed about this paper I was trying to think of a movie I have watched a hundred times and loved.
