Director Jess Franco's REVENGE OF THE HOUSE OF USHER has little to do with the original Poe story. It's about the insane Dr. Eric Usher (Franco regular Howard Vernon) and his diabolical experiments.
When the visiting Alan Harker (Antonio Mayans) uncovers Usher's activities, involving female test subjects locked in his dungeon, Usher goes into an extremely lengthy explanation.
Said explanation includes 20+ minutes of "flashback" footage from an unrelated movie (Franco's THE AWFUL DR. ORLOF)! The rest of this film appears to be whatever happened to arise in the Director's mind at the time.
Sitting through this, like having your face stuffed into the world's biggest armpit, is pure misery...
