The House of Usher is a 2006 thriller based on the Edgar Allan Poe story, The Fall of the House of Usher. Modern updating of the Poe classic about a woman, Jill Masters (Izabella Miko), who three years after her lover, Rick Usher (Austin Nichols), and her best friend, Maddy Usher, had suddenly disappeared from her life without explanation, returns home because of a phone call she receives with news of Maddy's death. Her last wish was for Jill to attend her funeral. Conflicted, Jill returns to the house of Usher, a remote New England enclave. Her love affair with Rick is rekindled as she learns he suffers from the same malady that robbed his twin sister, Maddy, of her sharp mind before taking her life. His affliction is manifested in a rare nerve condition, which renders him hyper-sensitive. Under the watchful eye of the caretaker, Nurse Thatcher (Beth Grant), Jill appears to be haunted by the ghost of Maddy, and the secret of the house of Usher is exposed.
