House of Usher
Movie • 1960 • Horror
ReportAfter 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.

It is mentioned but not shown that Roderick needs drugs to sleep. The drugs that would have been available in the 1820s were not exactly safe but it's kind of the least of his problems.

No. The butler rushes into a burning building trying to save his employer and dies in the process, but it does not appear that he intended to sacrifice his own life.

It's complicated. A character with extreme sensory sensitivities is played by someone who as far as we know did not have these in real life (if some stories are to be believed he might have had issues with bright lights IRL but he definitely didn't have the issues with food or with sound that Roderick has) but considering he gets yelled at so much in the film, it would be horrible for someone who really was sensitive to sound to try and play the role. Another character is ill/dying which her actress was not. But there's no faking of visible disabilities or of blindness/deafness/etc.

Yes! They are seen in a dream/vision, and they are heard when that same character is awake.

Roderick's sensory sensitivities, as well as Catherine's catatonia, are a part of their family curse. He is not autistic.

There is a rather bizarre dream sequence but it is clearly a dream, reality in the rest of the film is real.

Yes, Roderick is shown praying in front of a crucifix in a funeral scene and talks about how he does not believe he or any of his family will go to heaven.

Roderick is at least CONVINCED that him and his sister Madeline are doomed to die of illness, though how correct he is is unclear.
