Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Tacticalin An absolute waste of money

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

GL84 Deciding to visit the countryside towns, an Italian prince throws his annual masquerade ball to overlook his burning a village down to forget the plague ravaging the area only when the party guests start dying, he is forced to come face-to-face with his own personal demons.This one has several built-in pluses working for it being another of the Price/Corman/Poe films. Among the best parts here is that this one continues what occurs in most of the other efforts as it features some great location work. As most of the time is spent with the characters exploring the Gothic, cob-webbed labyrinthine castle, it builds up suspense marvelously through several fun and highly enjoyable scenes. The first trip through the castle, as the character is exploring it for the first time, creating a sense of dread as the build-up to an unexpected moment is clearly within reach with the small little jump at the end a nice topper. The fact that a large portion of the film is built around his treatment and obsession with the girl works well with the different manners he goes about trying to win her approval through his cruel treatments makes for some fun times here, and are given a lot of room to work here with the setting in that particular castle. The beautifully constructed story is as usual based on one of Poe's tales, and it keeps the movie rolling along nicely as a fast-paced film from this time, which is quite nice and it stays close to the story as well. As well, there is plenty to like about this one's main facet with the party scenes. The dagger sequence is as brilliant a display of suspense as ever, and a later dream sequence is also a masterful highlight capturing a striking mood. The last plus here is the film's biggest asset in that it ages a lot better than the others in the series due to it's high production values, beautiful looking scenery, and the occasional shock jump here and there. Of course, all of this is useless without the wonderful as ever Price leading the way with one of greatest performances ever. He truly is magical to behold and this one is no exception. There's really only one complaint about the film, which is quite dependent on many viewer's own issues. This is the fact that the much-rumored party sequence is so late in the movie that it can seem like eternity to get there. Yes, it does move along at a fast enough clip, but it happens so late in the film that it can seem like forever before it happens. It is worth the wait, however, but sometimes it feels like it should've happened earlier. One relatively minor complaint, though, isn't enough to deter this from one of the better Corman/Price/Poe film around.Today's Rating/PG-13: Violence and satanic themes and rituals

Foreverisacastironmess I think this is a terrific classic that holds up brilliantly, and it's probably my favourite out of all the Hammer or Hammer-like movies that I've seen that have this particular theatrical look and acting style. It's still very compelling, the story is to me absorbing and the revelations impressive as they unfold. I find that more than any other themes that it's about, the picture seems to focus the most on that of the power of death, be it literal, metaphorical, or spiritual. Death is a concept that's hard to come to terms with, and in popular fiction throughout the ages we often see characters trying to weasel their way out of a date with the anthropomorphic personification of death by pleading with it, trying to strike a bargain, or failing that straight-up sealing themselves away and trying to avoid it all together, like the evil-spirited tyrant who features in this tale. It sees one such group of people holding up to escape death. And in this case it's a little different, because this isn't the typical skeletal reaper of souls in a billowing black cloak, but a very specific 'plague.' In fact it turns out there are many faces of it, a whole darn rainbow brigade of death! The effect of that closing scene could perhaps come have off as silly due to the bright colours contrasting with the solemnity of the moment if it wasn't all handled with such competence and awesome pathos. It's certainly a bit of an odd scene but I love it, it's very interesting and philosophical. I like the idea of Death not being good or evil neither god nor the devil, but a calm and ambiguous force of judgement. The movie stars the deliciously hammy and dashing Vincent Price as the wicked devil-worshipping Prince Prospero, and eventually as the Red Death himself. I find Price very impressive here, he's quietly commanding and cruelly villainous, but somehow also not an entirely unsympathetic character. A debauched clan of cavorting 'nobles' hide in a grand castle under the sway of Prospero while a horrific plague ravages the peasantry below. And when the Red Death does eventually show up in his fool's paradise, the prince is overjoyed because he believes it is his master Satan finally come to reward him for his life of ruthlessness as well as all the souls that he's corrupted in the devil's name, but he is sorely mistaken as Death informs him that he has already lost his soul piecemeal long ago through his evil deeds and beliefs, and that his day of reckoning has finally come. I also liked the actor who played "Hoptoad"(should really have been Hopfrog!), he had a great charismatic kind of voice, and the subplot of his character's revenge against the lecherous Patrick Magee was very well integrated into the rest of the movie. When I first watched it I was delighted to recognise that there were actually two Poe stories in one feature! The set designs and visuals are enchanting to look at, the colours really jump out at you. The ending where Red Death passes and spreads through the masqued ball is disorienting and magnificently staged. The overall effect of that climactic sequence is bizarre, but also beautiful and mesmeric to me... Thank you dearly, sorry if you don't care for my thoughts, but I've learned that for better or worse we each of us must all dance to the music of his own tune. One last thing, this movie also has got the coolest end credits that I have ever seen ever! Still a terrific watch and a wonderful movie.

Claudio Carvalho The evil Prince Prospero (Vincent Price) is riding through the Catania village when he sees that the peasants are dying of Red Death plague. Prospero asks to burn down the village and he is offended by the villagers Gino (David Weston) and his father-in-law Ludovico (Nigel Green). He decides to kill them, but Gino's wife, the young and beautiful Francesca (Jane Asher), begs for the lives of her husband and her father and Prospero brings them alive to his castle expecting to corrupt Francesca. Propero worships Satan and invites his noble friends to stay in his castle that is a shelter of depravity against the plague. When Prospero invites his guests to attend a masked ball, he sees a red hooded stranger and he believes that Satan himself has attended his party. But soon he learns who his mysterious guest is. "The Masque of the Red Death" is a stylish movie directed by Roger Corman, with wonderful cinematography by Nicolas Roeg and based on a story by Edgar Allan Poe. Vincent Price has a great performance in the role of an evil Prince that worships Satan and learns that Death has no master and that each man makes his own Heaven and his own Hell. The Death is very similar to the character dressed in black of Ingmar Bergman's "Det sjunde inseglet" (a.k.a. "the Seventh Seal"). My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "A Orgia da Morte" ("The Orgy of the Dearh")

Prismark10 Roger Corman is known for cheapo exploitation horror and producing more Oscar winning protégés than anyone else in film history.Corman also has an eye for a bargain and when he shot The Masque of the Red Death in England the deal he had with the film studio was that he could use existing sets made for bigger budget films. So this movie recycles the existing sets given the movie grandeur even though its a low budget film.However the film has more than an atmosphere provided by its scenery, its terrifically written giving it an eerie and cerebral quality, add some good acting led by Vincent Price who stays on the right side of ham as the local prince who worships Satan and who believe he and his wealthy friends are safely locked up in his castle while the Red Death sweeps the village.This is a film adaptation of an Edgar Allan Poe novel that gives it justice.
