I just saw the Masque of the Red Death today in it's entirety and am baffled by all the positive reviews (10s??). The movie really shows its age and is very slow moving, and NEVER scary or suspenseful. I firmly believe that poe is a million times better when read and not seen, and I think that this helps my point (though I will concede that there are some decent adaptations of him). Consider all of the bright colors used in the movie and the painful 60s lighting effects. That isn't Poe at all. It isn't dark or murky, and the only winning aspect of the movie is Vincent Price. The pace of the movie is very slow (even for a 80 minute feature), and the characters are really flat and boring. If you are looking for a scary movie or even a thriller, don't look here. If you are looking for a good Vincent Price vehicle, don't look here. If you are looking to be bored look here.
