A remake of Roger Corman's 1964 adaptation of the Edgar Allan Poe tale was produced by Corman but directed by Larry Brand. Its the story of a medieval prince (Adrian Paul) and his attempt to avoid a v... read more

Price is really in his element here, playing a sadistic prince hellbent on bringing pain and suffering to his loyal subjects. (1964)
I don't know if there's a 1989 version, but I'm writing about the 1964 movie starring Vincent Price. Price is an evil ruler who torments people, he's a devil worshiper who thinks he can do what ever he wants and nothing bad will happen to him. Well, you can guess how that ends,... read more
Price is at his most diabolical here, and the dazzling sets, costumes and cinematography help create a stunning gothic atmosphere in this great adaptation of Poe's story.
Vincent Price at his most malicious, gives one of his greatest performances as the evil tyrant Prince Prospero, a devil worshiper who enjoys the company of the sweet Jane Asher and the luscious Hazel Court.
One of the best written, performed and staged Poe adaptations.
Colorful and elaborate sets, costumes and cinematography. The story is a bit simple, with an evil Prince (Vincent Price) and his mistreatment of people in the land, being visited by a cursed Red Death cult during a masqued ball. It has gaudy and spectacular baroque set pieces. Th... read more
As faithful as "House of Usher" was to the spirit of Edgar Alan Poe, "Masque of the Red Death" is the very opposite. Fantastic sets, a great use of color and some very pleasing widescreen compositions cannot hide the fact that this has little to do with the short story that suppo... read more
A conventional horror film.The vibrant use of colour in the sets and costumes, along with the high degree of stylisation in just about every department from acting to make-up, makes this one of Corman?s most prominent. Whilst The Masque of the Red Death occasionally veers dangero... read more
Grim, dark, somber, pervading sense of dread. One of Vincent Price's more sinister performances. Hazel Court gives a strong performance, Jane Asher is excellent as the sullied innocent.
Oh my God I have seen this so many times but it is still as powerful. Great movie
Flixster does need to fix this page, this is a blend of the '64 version with Vincent Price and some weird '80s remake I've never heard of. Of the the 1964 version I will say that Vincent Price's cheesiness is as good as it gets here, enjoyably weird.
If you die having seen only one Vincent Price movie, you could do worse than to have it be Masque.... Corman's most opulent and visually impressive Poe picture, and his grimmest. Full Review
Price ... is at his most deliriously malevolent. Full Review
In adapting Poe's short story to the screen, Corman adds much material, including a romance, some Satanism, and a subplot with a dwarf. Full Review
So-so Price horror offering
Creepy, stylish Corman horror; it's silly, but it's a lot of fun.
Due specific praise is the simple look of the movie, as if a meagre budget and disrespected genre were no impediment to making a visually arresting movie. Full Review
Probably Corman's best film. Certainly his best-looking.
The best thing about the film is Vincent Price's absolutely diabolical performance... Full Review
