House of Usher (1960)

Convinced that his family is tainted by generations of evil, Roderick Usher is hellbent on stopping his sister Madeline’s wedding to prevent the cursed Usher bloodline from expanding. When her fiancé Philip Winthrop arrives at the crumbling estate to claim his bride, Roderick goes to ruthless—even deadly—lengths to keep them apart.

House of Usher keeps every mind human — it fights its subject at zero distance. The story fights on E4/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing family, tradition, fear, mortality, inheritance.
