The Masque Of Red Death. 1964.
Evil Prince Prospero, Holds a Gala Ball for his friends and offers them shelter from the plague Red Death that swoops the near by village.
Classic Corman/Price collaboration that is entertaining from the start and finish, with Price Price being amazing as always with his method of acting that makes you like and hate him at the same time. Hazel Court rejoins the duo from The Raven as Julianna who wants to serve Prospero and do anything for his bidding. Jane Asher plays Francesca, local villager taken by Prospero.
I was a bit excited for the new release as this has always been a favourite of mine and never get bored of watching it and which included the extended cut, sadly the extended didn't exactly thrill me, the dream sequence was longer and more appealing but the colour tone has changed, some bits more darker and bright colours that were used seemed lighter and a strain on the eyes.
