Tomb it may concern....,
By
This review is from: Tomb Of Ligeia (d/c) [DVD] (DVD)
This is another welcome entry in Roger Corman's series of 1960s horror films based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe. The King of Horror, Vincent Price, stars as Verden Fell, a tragic figure who has become obsessed with his late wife, Ligeia, whose spirit seems to be omni-present in the form of a black cat and then in Fell's new bride, The Lady Rowena Trevanion (Damien - Omen II's Elizabeth Shepherd.
This is a beautifully-filmed piece of work that makes excellent use of some stunning sets and outdoor locations. Vincent Price puts in a good, highly-watchable performance (as usual) and he is aided by a fine supporting cast. The film is presented in its wide screen format, in a ratio of 2.35:1, on this DVD and looks really beautiful. I think that this was the last entry in Roger Corman's Poe cycle of films, and, although it is not my favourite entry (The Masque Of The Red Death still gets my vote as it is one of the most visually stunning horror films ever made), it still provides an impressive coda to this legendary series.

One that got away...,
By Tyrone (The Cotswolds, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tomb Of Ligeia (d/c) [DVD] (DVD)
Driven by a typically paranoid turn from the marvellous Vincent Price, compared to earlier Roger Corman horrors this is calmer, quieter, more psychological & I think underrated. The location shoots add a new freshness, the designs look great & the sparser shocks are still scary so if you like the other fantastic '60's Edgar Allen Poe movies but have n't seen this one, you should love it. The Fall Of The House Of Usher [DVD] [1960] The Pit And The Pendulum [DVD] [1961] Premature Burial [ 1962 ] Widescreen / Uncut Tales Of Terror [DVD] The Masque Of The Red Death [DVD] [1964]

tomb of ligeia was originaly shown in uk cinemas as part of a double bill with the boris karloff anthology black sabbath.tomb of ligeia was one of roger cormans final entries in the poe series.the original italian production of black sabbath is available as part of the mario bava collection vol 1,the soundtrack is in italian with english subtitles,the quality is stunning.if you want the american international release of black sabbath (as seen in the uk as part of the double bill with tomb of ligeia)this can be found on dvd if you know where to look.
