Suggested by darthcaedus97
A man receives a desperate letter from his childhood friend, Roderick Usher, begging him to visit the family mansion before it's too late. Upon arrival, he finds a house that seems sick and Roderick transformed into a shadow of himself, haunted by sounds no one else hears and obsessed with the well-being of his twin sister, Madeline, who suffers from a mysterious illness that keeps her on the edge between life and death. As the days pass in the oppressive mansion, the visitor discovers that every corner of the house holds the echo of decisions made decades earlier, and that the Usher's decay is not just material: it's a curse that lives in the blood, in memory, and in the very foundations of the place. Something ancient and terrible is about to awaken, and when it does, no one will emerge unscathed.
