3.0 out of 5 stars House of Madness, January 10, 2012

This review is from: House of Usher [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Flawed but interesting retelling of the classic Poe tale. Oliver Reed gives a very good performance as the ailing Roderick Usher and Donald Pleasence is wonderful as his insane older brother Walter. The sets are also well done. Only a few elements of Poe's tale remains and the ending is pretty lousy, but overall it is an entertaining,well paced, and somewhat bizarre gothic horror film.

This review is from: House of Usher [VHS] (VHS Tape)

There are two reviews for a collection of music videos, with discussions of the quality of the break dancing, attached to this movie of the Edgar Allen Poe story which has Donald Pleasance. Doesn't anyone ever read the reviews before they are attached to the items??

5.0 out of 5 stars I've seen Usher's "My Way" video and it was great!, January 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: House of Usher [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I am a big fan of Usher's, so when I saw his "My Way" video I just went crazy.He seems so different from when you see him on t.v. from when you see him in person which I have because he seems like a sweet and calm person when you really see him.But, on t.v. he's really into what he is doing,he looks oh so good on t.v. and in person as well.I think that Paul Hunter did a great job directing the video.I think that it was a great idea for them to let Tyrese be a part of that video,he does pretty well in his own music videos as well.Usher had good looking dancers and great dance moves in the video.When I saw the clothes that they all were wearing in the video I started to laugh because I have never seen anyone come up with something like that,I mean they were wearing clothes that you wouldn't see anyone else wear in their music videos.Also I thought that the stunts were so good.You when they were battleing and Usher jumped and did the forward roll and started break dancing.Some people say that that isn't Usher doing the break dancing,but I know that it is Usher because everything that Usher does and says is real because I believe in him.
