Rating:  - The Dark Castle awaits...
An American couple travel abroad to haunted olde England to claim an inheritance, which is a strikingly beautiful castle high up on a hill overlooking a gloomy peasant village.
When entering the town pub for some directions, the resident drunken peasants are rude, fearful, & stuporstitious, when finally, a doctor explains the peasants' actions, & guides them to their inheritance.
The castle carries a nefarious connotation, a veritable "place that god forsook", where ... Read More
Rating:  - Moody Gothic Interpretation Of H.P. Lovecraft Story
"The Haunted Palace", has always been my favourite of the A.I.P productions that marked a highly successful collaboration between Director/Producer Roger Corman and veteran Hollywood star Vincent Price. Often using the unique stories by Edgar Allan Poe as their basis here the story is actually an adaptation of H. P.

Rating:  - Lovecraft's First Film Adaption is Decent
This is a decent adaption of H.P. Lovecraft and while generally regarded higher than most of them by critics it lacks the entertainment value of even something like Bleeders, even more so Unnamable, Castle Freak and Lurking Fear.

The more recent Resurrected based also on the same novel, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, is a superior film version ... Read More
Rating: - the haunted palace
good solid vincent price vehicle with lon chaney jr too. no way you can go wrong with this combination! quite enjoyable with price doing what he does best. if you liked "house of wax", "fall of the house of usher", or "the pit and the pendulum", you'll like this. it's another 'man on the edge of madness' flick with an evil entity/monster too. have fun!
Rating: - Price, Poe and Lovecraft-How Can You Go Wrong?
You can't. This movie combines Price's terrific interpretation of Poe and Lovecraft into a New England horror. Price has two roles in this one.
He plays J. Curwen-a sorceror burned for witchcraft in New England. It seems that Curwen has ensorcered the women of Arkham into becoming receptacles for the children of the Elder Gods- a race of dieties that ruled Earth before being defeated and banished. Curwen has found a way to contact them and serve them in exchange for power. He dies? but not before cursing ... Read More
