Synopsis

One of Roger Corman’s signature achievements was his cycle of Edgar Allan Poe adaptations. These are very loose translations of the story material, but the combination of gothic settings, lurid colors, and star Vincent Price were an omnipresent feature in the nation’s drive-ins for a few years. This is the best of these. Made in England, with the assistance of top British technicians (including Nicolas Roeg), it is also the best-looking and possibly most coherent of these amusing shockers. In 35mm.
