Old school horror for the classic film lover.
Released: 1964
Genre(s): Horror
Like most classic horror movies, "The Masque of the Red Death" views more like a theater production than the movies of the modern day. The great Vincent Price stars as a grandiose and convincingly-evil prince in this classic adaptation of a classic Edgar Allan Poe story. The acting here is great for the era, although those who dislike older films may find it overdone and unrealistic - theater buffs and classic movie lovers will rejoice though. While the "horror" element here may feel a bit tame or mild by today's standards, the plot itself is by no means outdated - everything from the setting to the sound effects creates a spooky tone for what truly is a creepy storyline. Regardless, I'd only recommend this one to those who appreciate old film or Edgar Allan Poe's works.
Rating (out of 5): 3
