Watched The Masque of the Red Death last night for the first time. One if the few Corman/Price/Poe films I'd not seen. Have to say I was well disappointed. I like the others. Usher and Taled of Terror in particular but I just found Masque a bit...well, boring. Normally I find Vincent Price can carry of the dullest of material but this one just didn't work for me. That said it was late (ish), I was knackerd and sleep deprived as usual so maybe another viewing will improve me opinion. I did start watching De Palmas Obsession after but gave up after twenty mins cos I was just to tired and I got the impression I'd actually enjoy this one with a fresher brain. (And maybe less scotch)
