The House of Usher is a 2006 Thriller genre thriller based on the Edgar Allan Poe story, The Fall of the House of Usher . The film was directed by Hayley Cloake and written by Collin Chang. It stars Austin Nichols , Izabella Miko , and Beth Grant . Plot Jill Masters Izabella Miko has not seen or heard from her ex lover, Roderick Rick Usher Austin Nichols , or her best friend, Madeline Maddy Usher, for three years. One night, Rick contacts Jill and informs her of Maddy s sudden death. Her last wish was for Jill to attend the funeral. Conflicted, Jill returns to the family home of the Usher family. Her love affair with Rick is rekindled as she learns he suffers from the same malady that robbed his twin sister, Maddy, of her sharp mind before taking her life. His affliction is manifested in a rare nerve condition, which renders him hypersensitive. Under the watchful eye of the caretaker, Nurse Thatcher Beth Grant , Jill appears to be haunted by the ghost of Maddy. In the meantime, Jill becomes intimate with Rick and tells him she has missed her period. A pregnancy test confirms Jill is pregnant. In the meantime, Jill has discovered that the Usher family has practiced incest for the past five or six generations, right down to Maddy and Rick. All the prior generations had twins, who later became a couple and birthed twins of their own and so on down the line to Maddy and Rick, who were to continue the Usher curse of incest and inbreeding.
