Product Description

Product Description

While the plague rages throughout Europe, sadistic Italian prince Prospero (Vincent Price) dallies with devil worship. To entertain his fellow Satanists, Prospero hosts a lavish ball in the confines of his castle, but the wanton revelries sour when an uninvited guest arrives - Death himself!

From Amazon.co.uk

Based on a short story by the father of modern crime and horror fiction, Edgar Allen Poe, The Masque of the Red Death stars Vincent Price as Prospero, enjoying a reign of debauched decadence while his castle shields him from the plague. Prospero holds a masque for a corrupt medieval nobility but the sadistic revels are joined by an uninvited guest, the Red Death itself. Jane Asher has never looked more beautiful and her colourfully designed nightmare equals Salvador Dali's contribution to Spellbound (1945). Produced and directed by Roger Corman, this is the most famous and probably the best of the hundreds of movies (including an inferior 1989 remake) with which the undisputed king of the B picture has been involved. With an intelligent, poetic screenplay paying homage to Igmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal (1957), this is a luxurious and elegant horror film (though the full-screen transfer does diminish the outstanding Panavision images of cinematographer Nic Roeg, who would later direct his own horror classic, Don't Look Now in 1973). The film is just one of a series of Poe adaptations Corman made with Price in the 1960s: The Fall of the House of Usher (1960) and The Tomb of Ligeia (1965) also being particularly notable. --Gary S. Dalkin --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 starspositively stunning transfer of a classic Poe film
By Peter Cook on 28 April 2010
Format: DVD
This capsule review refers to the Studio Canal Classic Horror Film Collection (region 2) edition only.

What a sight for the senses is this immaculate 2007 transfer of the original 1964 film. Nicolas Roegs' evocative cinematography and inventive use of colour has NEVER looked this good - and even on a 55 inch monitor!! The marvellous photographic compositions,bold costume design and impressive art direction make it hard to believe this film was made over 40 years ago. Even the numerous beautiful matte shots by Ray Caple & Bob Cuff look superb and grain free - again an unusual sight when it comes to process shots in older movies which tend to look muddy and over processed. The awful old pan & scan tv transfers (my only previous exposure to this film) have hopefully been sent to the bottom of the sea by now!

Excellent(mono)sound and picture perfect crisp 2.35:1 anamorphic imagery more than make up for the lack of any extras whatsoever - not even a trailer unfortunately. As good as this film has ever looked.

5.0 out of 5 starsFantastical horror
By Borges114 on 6 Feb. 2007
Format: DVD
I remember watching this when I was a teenager on BBC2, late at night. It mesmerised me then as it does now. Having read Poe's short that inspired the film, Roger Corman might have embellished the tale, but he stuck to the true spirit of Poe's story in atmosphere and tone. Corman might be seen as the classic director of trash movie-making, but this film is genius, a luxurious sight for the eyes as the screen is awash with vivid colour and, perhaps, over-the-top acting (Vincent Price had rarely been better). The DVD is a welcome release, though surprisingly bare-boned, and the mono sound is perfunctory (though quite clear). The anamorphic picture is a tad soft, but pretty detailed for a film almost forty years old.

A wonderful jest indeed...

5.0 out of 5 starsApocalyptic Mediaevalism: Corman's Cinematic Totentanz
By Nigel Jackson on 7 April 2009
Format: DVD
Undoubtedly the 1964 film 'The Masque of the Red Death'stands as Roger Corman's masterpiece of richly-stylized gothic horror, melding his free adaptation of the Poe story of the same name with the cruel tale of 'Hop Frog'. The atmosphere acheived in this film , with it's sumptuous sets, costumery and heightened sense of lapidary colour, is quite incomparable. From the opening scene in the mist-shrouded twilight of the plague-haunted mediaeval countryside where the old woman gathering wood encounters the crimson-cowled figure of the Red Death sat beneath a tree drawing the tarot cards which signify his role as divinely-appointed dispenser of fate unto humankind, an eerie and apocalyptic drama unfolds to compelling effect: the simplicity and innocence of the village-girl Francesca contrasts sharply with the luxuriant and corrupting evil within Prince Prospero's turreted castle as a tale as starkly and boldly delineated as some Mystery-cycle or morality-play of the High Middle Ages, is enacted. Vincent Price's depiction of Prince Prospero, a nobleman who has pledged his eternal soul to the Lord of this World, the 'Lord of Flies', is absolutely masterly. Likewise the beautiful Hazel Court provides a powerful portrayal of Juliana who vies with Prospero for the infernal favours of Satan vowing herself as the bride of hell in the black chapel. Sin and innocence, sanctity and abomination, freedom and fate, survival and mortality - all is in the balance and over all the red-cowled figure of the Red Death presides dealing the cards which are the lots of inexorable and inescapable destiny.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsgood old fashioned horror movie
By A Customer on 7 Jun. 2001
Format: VHS Tape
If you enjoy the old horror and suspense movies, you will probably enjoy this one. It`s the typical set up with the beautifull damsel in distress, the evil Vincent Price, and the young hero. If you are looking for a scary move with lots of gore, forget about it, because this is one of the old ones, where the story and the actors would make or break the movie. As always, the charisma of Vincent Price makes the film worth watching. It will not scare the pants off you, but you will enjoy the little twists in the story. A typical `Price` scary movie...

4.0 out of 5 starsSensual, arty classic..Corman's best
By Lazydrake on 1 Dec. 2008
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This film is Roger Corman's best by a mile and, with the possible exception of 'The abominable Dr Phibes', is Vincent Price's best ,too. The plot centres around the escapades of the evil Prince Prospero (Price, of course),and his attempt to corrupt a beautiful and innocent girl (Jane Asher), taken captive in his castle full of debauched satanists, while the red death looms outside.Perhaps the most memorable scene is the eponymous masque,where retribution is finally meted out to the revellers, and in particular Alfredo's horrific death (played by Patrick Magee) ,which is actually taken from Poe's other classic tale, Hopfrog, but I'm not quibbling here, because this is a fabulous film, shot in vivid, sensual colours, superbly atmospheric, with an effective cast, and some great dialogue. There aren't many classier horror films around, so why not buy it?

5.0 out of 5 starsA stunning dvd release of a masterpiece
By A Customer on 23 July 2010
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I agree with Peter Cook, this version of the film is stunning.It's not very often we get such masterpieces given this level of treatment. Yes, some extra's would have been nice but given the picture quality, it more than makes up for no extra's.

This is probably the best of the Poe, Corman, Price films and this really is the only way to see it.
