5.0 out of 5 stars I love this film, but I can't buy it!!!, 25 Mar 2004
By A Customer
I love Vincent Price movies and The Toomb Of Ligeia is one of my favourites! But why oh why can they not release the damn thing as region 2??? I (and I'm sure there are many others out there like me) do not have a multi-region DVD player, and so as much as I love the film, I do not see the point in buying it to just look at the pretty box!! I want to be able to watch movies I buy!! So please somebody out there read this and make manufacturers put films onto Region 2 (especially this one!)!

3.0 out of 5 stars an interesting experiment but not entirely successful., 16 Aug 2006
By Mr. A. E. Ward Davies (Canterbury , England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
"tomb of ligeia" is the second of two films that roger corman and vincent price made together in england after "masque of the red death."
"tomb of ligeia" is more involved than previous corman films; there are more location sequences and the plot is rather complicated to understand. but there are good scenes and vincent price is as reliable as ever. a good effort.
"an evening with edgar allan poe" is a wasted opportunuity.
the stories chosen aren't the best by a long way. "the sphinx" is a waste of time; a disappointing ending and the story doesn't make sense. "the tell-tale heart" is better but the film set is all wrong. it should have a gothic look to it but instead looks more like a western. "the cask of amontillado" is too restricted. "the pit and the pendulum" is by far the best and is a massive compensation. there is some editing to the story but still very well done.
but i'm afraid the direction is non-existent. vincent price spends too much time in one place. why not film him walking along dark corridors whilst acting out the stories? it would have been far superior.
the selection of tales should have been different but also there should have been more of them; "the pit and the pendulum," "the oval portrait," "masque of the red death," "the facts in the case of m. valdemar," "fall of the house of usher" and "ligeia."
that would have been perfect. still, vincent price gives the performance of his career. this is solid proof that he is a highly trained, skilled, dramatic actor and it takes someone with his talent to pull this off.
an interesting concept, but a failure for the most part.
