厄舍古厦的倒塌的剧情介绍,本片改编自爱伦坡的短篇小说, 该部小说非常有名, 被改编成电影数次, 本片是由文森普莱斯於1960年主演的版本, 电影与小说不同, 稍微做了些改变。 <br /> 罗瑞与妹妹麦德琳相依为命, 整栋大宅只有一位年老的管家陪伴着兄妹俩。远从波士顿过来探访的年轻人-菲利普, 因为与麦德琳相恋, 想要把她从哥哥身边带走, 奈何哥哥罗瑞千方阻挠, 並且整栋大宅摇摇欲坠, 阴风阵阵, 几次的危险差点让菲利普丧命,某一天夜裡, 麦德琳死了... 菲利普痛不欲生, 无法接受她的死去, 当他知道这个家族深受邪恶的诅咒後, 麦德琳真的復活了....
After a long journey, Philip arrives at the Usher mansion seeking his loved one, Madeline. Upon arriving, however, he discovers that Madeline and her brother Roderick Usher have been afflicted with a mysterious malady: Roderick's senses have become painfully acute, while Madeline has become catatonic. That evening, Roderick tells his guest of an old Usher family curse: any time there has been more than one Usher child, all of the siblings have gone insane and died horrible deaths. As the days wear on, the effects of the curse reach their terrifying climax.
好端端的搞什么家庭诅咒,整一个舞台剧风格的电影,房间通透明亮,也就几个蜘蛛网在那营造阴森的气氛,与原著和其他改编相比差太远,最精彩的复活也变了味,成了“谋杀”“未遂”,菲利普的爱情桥段也使这部电影更加的俗气,爱伦坡的阴森、诡异和哥特气息寥寥无几。
舞台剧风格
文森特.普莱斯已入化境。梦境宛如地狱,在崩塌的古宅中,寻找一个死去的女人。比照小说,觉得还是罗杰·科尔曼改编的爱伦坡,最能将哥特罗曼韵味融入到电影套路中。
虽有Roderick的怪诞画作增添几丝诡异氛围,可影片百分之七十五的内容都耗费在Philip与抱有愚蠢执念的兄妹俩之间的僵持上,而演员的表演又没能摆脱那个年代特有的做作;所幸疯狂至极的剩余百分之二十五扳回一局,无论是与画作呼应的诡谲梦境还是Madeline渗血的惨白双手,都完美诠释绝佳恐怖氛围营造
