Short Friday: The Fall of the House of Usher (1928)

No time for blogging proper, but here's the 1928 Fall of the House of Usher (13 mins.), not to be confused with the film of the same name from the same year by someone else whose name escapes me right now. It's from the abstract/expressionist school of storytelling, so some people say that it's best to brush up on the plot of Poe's story that it is based on. Fair enough, you otherwise won't know what's going on. But then, do you really have to?
