    superb Poe adaptation

    Possibly the best of the Roger Corman-Vincent Price series of film adaptations of the stories of Edgar Allen Poe, 'The Masque of the Red Death' is a chilling and malevolent tale of decadent devil-worshippers holed up in a castle while the Red Death claims its victims in the village outside.

    Vincent Price was a gloriously hammy actor who played horror roles with the utmost seriousness. His characterization of Prince Prospero in this movie is brilliant - a man without a soul or heart who is only conquered when a girl of equal faith enters his castle (the wooden Jane Asher as Francesca). In support Hazel Court as the would-be Bride of Satan Juliana, and Patrick Magee as the corrupt Alfredo are particularly worthy of note.

    The dwarf's revenge on Alfredo during the masque is as chilling as anything which came before in films such as 1932's 'Freaks'; while the film shimmers with beautiful cinematography (especially the coloured rooms) and simmers with corruption. The combined effect is superb and makes the film a memorable experience.

    imaginative and colorful Edgar Allan Poe with awesome acting by the great Vincent Price

    Roger Corman's nice attempt at Edgar Allan Poe's terror tale in which evil Prince Prospero , Vincent Price , reunites at his castle a motley group of aristocrats until the creepy appearance of the Red Death. As the sadistic Prince and his sycophants trying to ignore the plague outside castle walls . As the Red Death is the deadly plague which has swept throughout villages and now menaces the besieged castle . Along the way , Prospero deals with a cunning devil and playfully murders any of his subjects not already dead of the plague . Look into this face : Shudder ...at the blood-stained dance of the Red Death! Tremble.?. To the hideous tortures of the catacombs of Kali ! Gasp .. at the sacrifice of the innocent virgin to the vengeance of Baal !

    An essential and immortal masterpiece of the macabre written by Charles Beaumont , and produced in budget enough by James H Nicholson and Samuel Z Arkoff from American International Pictures . A highly stylish Roger Corman adaptation with Horror is still ever present , including eerie images , surprising scenarios and gorgeous costumes . Vincent Price gives a terrific acting , as always , by playing a sort of medieval Faust who has sold his soul to the Devil . He is accompanied by a pretty good cast , such as : Hazel Court , Jane Asher, Patrick Mcgee , David Weston , Nigel Green , and Skip Martin as a dwarf has a touching little romance revealing himself as rather a fine player . As all main and secondary cast delivering decent interpretations .There are other inferior versions about the brief novel by Poe , but pale compared to this 1964 film , such as : "Masque of Red Death" 1989 produced by Corman with Patrck Macnee , Adrian Paul , Maria Ford and "Masque of Red Death" 1990 by Alan Birkinshaw with Frank Stallone, Brenda Vaccaro, Herbert Lom.

    It contains a glimmer and shining cinematography by Nicolas Roeg , subsequently a great filmmaker, being shot mostly in British studios . Thrilling and exciting musical score by David Lee. The motion picture was competently directed by horror expert Roger Corman and seven Poe adaptations , as he proved in "The Raven" , "The Terror" , "Tomb of Ligeia" , "The Haunted Palace" , "Premature Burial", "Tales of Terror" , "Tower of London" , "The Pit and the Pendulum", among others . Rating : 7/10. Better than average . Worthwhile seeing .

    A slap in the face for Corman's critics! An atmospheric and imaginative adaptation of one of Poe's most intriguing stories.

    Roger Corman frequently gets a hard time from misguided movie snobs who look down on b-grade and exploitation movies. While Corman undoubtedly was involved in more than his fair share of silly schlock (usually as a producer rather than a director), he also made some wonderful movies that are criminally underrated. Some of his best movies as a director were the series of Edgar Allen Poe adaptations he made in the Sixties starring horror legend Vincent Price. 'The Masque Of The Red Death' is quite possibly the very best in the series. It is certainly the most unusual and imaginative. Now I'm not sure whether it was filmed in Britain or not, but Price is supported by a largely British cast which includes Jane Asher ('The Stone Tape'), Hazel Court (Hammer's 'Curse Of Frankenstein'), and the legendary character actor Patrick Magee ('Dementia 13', 'A Clockwork Orange'). That and the fact that the cinematographer is none other than Nic Roeg(!), later to become famous for such classics as 'Performance', 'Don't Look Now' and 'The Man Who Fell To Earth', leads me to believe that it was made in England. The involvement of the aforementioned, and a strong script co-written by the talented Charles Beaumont (try and track down some of his short stories, you'll be impressed), make this a memorable experience. But Corman's direction should be given credit, and the single best thing about it is Vincent Price himself, who gives one of his very best performances. This movie has it all, striking visuals, an intriguing plot (with a stronger Satanic theme than generally seen in most mainstream horror movies), good acting, suspense, plenty of atmosphere, and some striking dream-like imagery many have compared to Bergman's 'Seventh Seal'. 'The Masque Of The Red Death' is one of Roger Corman's greatest achievements and one of the very best horror movies made in the 1960s. It has lost very little of its impact over the years and is still essential viewing for any horror fan, or anybody who appreciates imaginative cinema.

    Pretty Good for the Genre

    A reviewer linked to this site described "The Masque of the Red Death" as Bergmanesque. A Roger Corman film Bergmanesque? Since I've only seen one Ingmar Bergman film, and it bored me silly, this was not much of an endorsement.

    When I was a kid and Corman's Edgar Alan Poe adaptations were new, they scared the be-jeebers out of me. So would have "The Masque of the Red Death". After watching the movie recently, I didn't gain any insight into Mr. Bergman's film style, but I was entertained. And happily, the movie is free of the campy acting that seeps into so many of the Corman opus. Especially good is Vincent Price as the Satan-worshipping Prince Prospero, in whose castle his debauched guests wait out the plague that is ravishing the countryside. Dark and grotesque, this is an excellent example of Corman's work. Actually, one of the best I've seen.

    A Couple of Neglected Points

    No need to go into storyline details after so many reviews. Looks like Corman's movie is Bergmann for the rest of us. The screenplay's heavy with philosophical themes about God, evil, and death. However, except for the themes and some of the imagery, the movie's a stylistic opposite of the grim Swedish filmmaker's Seventh Seal (1956). Here candy box colors are lavishly piled on top of one another. No shades of gray or bleak shorelines to depress viewers. Instead, it's manic gaiety interspersed with diabolical games of death and corruption. Looks to me like meaningful horror can be done even with a vivid color scheme, contrary to what some b&w purists have held. Then too, the movie shows that Price is quite capable of giving a non-hammy performance as his icily heartless Prospero proves in a tailor-made performance.

    For a minute, however, I thought Hollywood might actually carry through with a tough- minded existential theme (a morally indifferent world) that is suggested by such remarks as our making our own heaven and hell or death being the only overarching reality. But no. Even death, it seems, has a soft spot for love and lovers. So at the last minute Hollywood sneaks in, after all. Nonetheless, the movie's easily the best of Corman's adaptations of Poe, echoes of Bergmann or no.

    • Trivia
      Jane Asher asked Roger Corman if a friend could visit the set and join them for lunch. She explained that her friend was a musician who was about to do his first gig in London that night. At the end of lunch, Corman wished him good luck with his concert. Corman had never heard of Paul McCartney until he read of the concert's success in the next day's newspapers.
    • Errores
      Despite Prospero warning the guests not to wear red to the masque, several people are wearing red: capes, hats, etc.

      People ignoring someone's directions is not a Goof; it happens all the time and was even a significant plot point in Jezabel (1938).

      "And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all." Edgar Allan Poe [The final line of the original Poe story.]
    • Versiones alternativas
      The original UK cinema version was heavily cut by the BBFC to edit lines of implied sexual dialogue, the killing of Juliana by the falcon, and scenes of burning people (including Alfredo in the ape costume), and to completely remove the entire black mass dream sequence. Video and DVD releases fully restore the BBFC cuts though the print used is an edited U.S version which misses some dialogue as well as a shot of Francesca being slapped across the face by one of Prospero's soldiers.
