This is MGM at their best. A double-feature DVD with two Roger Corman classics, both in glorius widescreen, both in savory technicolor. The first gem, “Masque of the Red Death”, has never looked better. A sage of decadence state during the unlit plague, here represented as the “red plague”, thus Edgar Allen Poe. But where Poes astonishing poem ends, is, so-to-speak, at the waste of this film. Corman took Poes ugly vignette on the murky death and spun a record of Satanism versus Christain notion, all location in a richly atmospheric castle in the middle of a hellish landscape — For those of you squemish about anything to do with Christianity, assume of it as a morality play of Superb against Evil; afterall, Corman is rather ambiguous as to who the hooded “death characters” really are — And our host to the party to destroy all parties, none other than Vincent Notice himself.

The second film, Premature Burial, I’d never seen until this DVD. It is not as hypnotic at “Masque”, but it is a fun, macabre gallop into madness with a valid actor, Ray Milland, at the helm. Also starring the very sexy, very voluptious Hazel Court, which some Hammer Terror fans may remember from the up and coming dvd “Curse of Frankenstein”, due out in October. The film is presented in widescreen. Both films, one on each side of the DVD, include very nicely produced extras with Roger Corman, giving some nice information on the creation and production of both films. If your a fan of Vincent Sign, select it for “Masque”. If your a fan of Roger Corman, you will not be disapointed in either film.

Premature Burial may be considered merely an extra, on this DVD – it’s passable, but overall not that hot. The actual star of the explain is Roger Corman’s Masque of the Red Death, one of the best of his Poe cycle films. Both movies were co-scripted by genre master Charles Beaumont, a frequent Twilight Zone contributor, the extinct with assistance from fellow genre master Ray Russell. Premature Burial is the less impressive of the two due to general position procedure, which is rather hackneyed and predictable, and Ray Milland simply didn’t have the presence for this kind of work that Vincent Trace did.

Masque of the Red Death is a very clever rendition of two of Poe’s best works, the title anecdote and another lesser-known miniature section of nastiness called “Hop-Frog.” Tag plays the imperfect fourteenth century Prince Prospero, who safely ensconces all his country’s nobles slack his castle’s walls to sustain them helpful from the dreaded plague of the “red death” that is ravaging the populace. Prospero is a decadent and sadistic Satanist, who views his role in the proceedings as that of more or less a diabolical Noah, preserving his absorb kind until the plague passes. One of his guests – an equally sinful Patrick Magee – is horribly murdered by a dwarf he mocks and despises, constituting the “Hop-Frog” subplot. Prospero, meanwhile, delights in attempting to seduce and degrade innocent Christian peasant girl Jane Asher, considerable to wife Hazel Court’s immense ire and scare. Eventually, an uninvited guest wearing the forbidden color red appears in Prospero and his partygoers’ midst, whom Prospero takes to be none other than Satan, himself, reach to delight in Prospero’s sinister handiwork – but who is actually none other than the Red Death, personified, with more than one frightening surprise for Prospero…

The dialogue and symbolism in Masque of the Red Death are stellar. The Red Death mocks Prospero from late his screen, hinting at powers and knowledge Prospero only pretends to have. When Prospero suggests that only Satan could have sent him, since he believes Satan rules the universe, the Red Death wryly responds, “He does not rule – alone…” The concluding exchange between the two, and the terrifying finale of gaudily dressed partiers dying in an off-key, bloody ballet, is knowing – the whole film is very Ingmar Bergman-esque. The production is obliging, extremely lustrous, with absolutely magnificent sets and costumes.
