Roger Corman Collection - The Fall Of The House Of Usher/The Masque Of The Red Death/The Pit And The Pendulum [DVD]

The Fall of the House of Usher- Vincent Price brings a theatrical flourish to the role of ... more

Roderick Usher, a brooding nobleman haunted by the
dry rot of madness in his family tree. This being
an Edgar Allen Poe story, there's a history of
family madness and melancholia, a premature burial
and asense of doom hanging over the gloomy,
crumbling mansion. Roger Corman sold stingy AIP
pictures on the concept by claiming "The house is
the monster"--or so goes the oft-told story. True
or not, Corman (with the help of his brilliant art
director Daniel Haller and legendary
cinematographer Floyd Crosby) creates an
exaggerated sense of isolation and claustrophobia
with the sunless forest and funereal fog that
holds the house and its inhabitants prisoner in a
land of the dead. It doesn't quite look real (some
of the effects are downright phoney, notably the
apocalyptic climax), and none of the co-stars can
hold a candle to Price's elegant, haunted
performance (often speaking in no more than a
stage whisper), but it's a triumph of
expressionism on a budget. Shot in rich, vivid
colour and CinemaScope, from a literate script by
genre master Richard Matheson, this is stylish
Gothic horror in a melancholy key. It was such a
success that Corman reunited his core group of
collaborators for the follow-upThe Pit and the
Pendulumthe very next year. Thus Corman's "Poe
Cycle" was born.--Sean Axmaker, amazon.comThe
Masque of the Red Deathis Roger Corman's, and most
people's, choice as the best of the Edgar Allan
Poe pictures.Masqueoffers the expected creepy
atmosphere and violence against peasants, plus
metaphysical ponderings and pointed satanic
cruelty. (Corman was operating as much under the
influence of Ingmar Bergman as of Edgar Allan
Poe.) Nicolas Roeg's colour cinematography and
Daniel Haller's elaborate production design would
be stellar in any Hollywood A-movie; the
mono-coloured rooms of the prince's castle are a
startling effect. Vincent Price is in fine fettle
as Prince Prospero, the devil-worshipping sadist
who throws lavish parties while the countryside is
ravaged by the plague.--Robert Horton,
amazon.comThe Pit and the Pendulum-The Fall of the
House of Usher's success in 1960 spurred American
International Pictures to quickly launch another
production based on an Edgar Allan Poe story.
While producer-director Roger Corman had hoped to
next adapt "The Masque of the Red Death" (which
wasn't produced until 1964),Pit and the
Pendulum(the on-screen title) became the second in
AIP's long-running Poe series. Set in
post-Inquisition Spain, the film stars John Kerr
as a young Englishman who travels to the seaside
castle of his brother-in-law (Vincent Price) to
uncover the circumstances behind the death of his
sister (a dubbed Barbara Steele). Price is
tormented by memories of his mother's premature
burial by his inquisitor father (also Price) and
fears that this sadistic legacy has contributed to
Steele's demise. Furthermore, he believes that
Steele was also buried alive--a belief compounded
by the mysterious destruction of her room, and the
sound of her harpsichord playing in the
night...Structured almost identically toUsher,
Richard Matheson's script fleshes out the brief
original text with a fast-paced and twist-filled
plot that never loses sight of the psychological
themes of Poe's work. It also provides Price with
the richest of his many AIP/Poe roles, a
sympathetic, deeply emotional man who is unhinged
by the sins of his father. Corman's direction is
equally driven and fluid, and features some
impressive quasi-psychedelic visuals in the tense
climax. Also noteworthy is art director's Daniel
Haller's impressive design of the title set
piece.--Paul Gaita, amazon.com

Great collection of Roger Corman films

Advantages: 3 great films for a budget price
Disadvantages: Picture quality not too good

The films on the 3 discs are a selection of Roger Corman productions between 1960 and 1963.

Little Shop Of Horrors from 1960 is first up.A young Jack Nicholson makes an early screen appearence.

A dimwitted florists assistant discovers a mutant plant that can talk and must feed on blood to survive.

The Terror from 1963 stars Boris Karloff and Jack Nicholson (again).Nicholson follows an apparition to a castle ...
...Also from 1963,Dementia 13 marks the directorial debut of Francis Ford Coppola.Family member are being bumped off by an axe murderer.Are the murders linked to the daughters death years ago?

The three films are all entertaining and the packaging is nice but it would have been better if the films remastered.Overall though its good value for money.  ... more
