    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.

    Each Man Makes His Own Heaven and His Own Hell

    The evil Prince Prospero (Vincent Price) is riding through the Catania village when he sees that the peasants are dying of Red Death plague. Prospero asks to burn down the village and he is offended by the villagers Gino (David Weston) and his father-in-law Ludovico (Nigel Green). He decides to kill them, but Gino's wife, the young and beautiful Francesca (Jane Asher), begs for the lives of her husband and her father and Prospero brings them alive to his castle expecting to corrupt Francesca. Propero worships Satan and invites his noble friends to stay in his castle that is a shelter of depravity against the plague. When Prospero invites his guests to attend a masked ball, he sees a red hooded stranger and he believes that Satan himself has attended his party. But soon he learns who his mysterious guest is.

    "The Masque of the Red Death" is a stylish movie directed by Roger Corman, with wonderful cinematography by Nicolas Roeg and based on a story by Edgar Allan Poe. Vincent Price has a great performance in the role of an evil Prince that worships Satan and learns that Death has no master and that each man makes his own Heaven and his own Hell. The Death is very similar to the character dressed in black of Ingmar Bergman's "Det sjunde inseglet" (a.k.a. "the Seventh Seal"). My vote is seven.

    Title (Brazil): "A Orgia da Morte" ("The Orgy of the Dearh")

    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 .

    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.

    Price at his Most Wicked!

    Roger Corman has done an outstanding job with this film, possibly the best of his Poe adaptations. Although the film really is an incorporation of two Poe stories....The Masque of the Red Death and Hop-Frog...it is an excellent, atmospheric, quality piece of entertainment. At the core of the film's strength are the performance of Price as the evil, malignant, malicious Prince Prospero, follower of the devil and cruel sovereign of an area plagued with a all-consuming Red Death, and the fabulous period sets and costumes, many borrowed from the film Beckett. Price is at his best, and his turn as Prospero easily ranks as his most sinister and wicked performance(closely running against his portrayal of a witch hunter in The Conquerer Worm). Vincent Price blends outrageous showmanship with intricate subtleties of a man reasoning why he is what he is. The dialogue certainly is more important than the action in the story...a reason why some viewers(younger ones more than likely) will find film a bit tiresome. The sets and costumes are just gorgeous and the film looks like the most lavish ever made by Corman and company. A true modern masterpiece of the horror cinema!

      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.
    • Blooper
      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 Figlia del vento (1938).

    • Curiosità sui crediti
      "And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all." Edgar Allan Poe [The final line of the original Poe story.]
    • Versioni alternative
      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.
