The Masque of the Red Death

Film Description

Roger Corman's adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe's story sees Vincent Price play the supremely sadistic Prince Prospero, who finds himself taken with a wistful young girl (Jane Asher). He kidnaps her, and makes her choose between saving the life of her father or her young lover. The Plague, however, is slowly sweeping through Prospero's countryside, and when a mysterious creature in a masque finally intrudes upon Prospero's Masquerade Ball killing all of the his guests, the usually arrogant Prospero is frightened. Probably Corman's best feature, with impressive cinematography from Nic Roeg no less.
