The Fall of the Louse of Usher

The Fall of the Louse of Usher is a 2002 British arthouse horror comedy film written and directed by Ken Russell.

Rock star Roddy Usher (played by James Johnston) is confined to an insane asylum after murdering his wife.

During his time there he is given various shock treatments by Nurse Smith (Marie Findley) and Dr Calahari (Ken Russell), resulting in a series of bizarre and nightmarish adventures.

Critics generally agreed that the film was not as polished as Russell's earlier work.

For example, Paul Higson of The Zone website called the production design "kindergarten level".
