Description

Dr. Alan Harker rides to the crumbling castle of his former university professor, Dr. Eric Usher, to find the old man caught in the grip of paranoia, his mind eroded by his ongoing attempts to resurrect his comatose daughter Melissa with the blood of abducted women. As he nears inevitable death, Usher enters a twilight world that exists between life and death. There, he is taunted by the blood-drinking ghost of his dead wife, by his faithless housekeeper, and by the various women he has bled to death over the years in the service of his daughter! Spanish horror maverick Jess Franco blends Edgar Allan Poe with echoes of Bram Stoker's Dracula and his own Awful Dr. Orlof in this bizarre tale of horror and obsession!

Simply Terrible.......2002-02-16

Anyone who has read my reviews or seen my listmania list knows im a huge fan of gothic horror. As for this one, save your money for something better. The dubbing was horrific and i had a hard time understanding what the characters were saying. The movie was hard to follow (perhaps because i could'nt understand what was being said) and very slow moving. It was very hard to get through this one.

Franco fans will love this........2001-11-26

Typical Fanco film - castles, chained women, mad doctors, ghosts, lots of atmospheric photography. The story is an insane cross between "House of Usher", and the Orloff films (And does re-use some Orloff footage for flashbacks.) The film looks very nice, with plenty of colour and fantastic scenery shots. Not one of Franco's best, but atmospheric and entertaining.

piece of crap.......2001-08-18

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! do not le the title fool you this film has nothing to do with zombies. i rented this movie under its alternate title "Revenge in the House of Usher" cause i knew it was alzo titled as "Zombie 5." i thought it would ave been better than it's follower "Zombie 4:Virgin Among the Living Dead" by was i wrong. if you ever see this ovie under this title or th other titl "Revenge in the House of Usher" RUN! unless you like movies with meaningless plots,horrible acting, the weakest blood and gore. then go ahead buy it but dont say i didnt warn you.

IGNORE AT ALL COSTS.......2001-08-16

ignore this movie at all costs! ignore the title this movie hs nothing to do with zombies what so ever. its just a mix up of volent scenes put together in so many confusing orders. dont buy this movie unless you want the whole 'weird' zombie set. its code named tha because there's two sets of zombie films. this set is not the set to Lucio Fulci's masterpiece "Zombie" oh no it isn't. my advice ignore this [one] and move on.

Description

Devious. Diabolical. Devilish. He's Dr. Orloff, the villainous creation of horror cult director Jess Franco introduced in the gothic classic, The Awful Dr. Orlof. Determined to restore the beauty of his disfigured sister, the doctor sends his monstrous manservant, Morpho, on a quest for nubile beauties to provide fresh skin for his experiments. Then one of Orloff's disciples creates a humanoid servant, Dr. Orloff's Monster, with his niece falling into a trap of murder and insanity. Then prepare to meet Orloff and the Invisible Man when the good doc hosts a traveler at his castle and unleashes an invisible terror that's already turned his daughter into a raving lunatic# or has it? Finally, the Poe classic is turned inside out as Revenge in the House of Usher entails a family curse, a deranged brother and sister, a lonely traveler and footage from the first Orloff film to tie it all together!
