Exploration into the excesses of power
The Masque of the Red Death is set in Italy where Vincent Price plays an autocratic prince who terrorizes his own people. It turns out he’s a sadist and a Satanist. The film is based upon a story by Edgar Allen Poe. Rather than being a horror film it’s more about the excesses of power.<br /><br />Price plays his role beautifully. He enjoys humiliating people and exposing their faults and weaknesses. For instance, at a party he has his guests dance on the floor like beasts. Another time a noble comes to visit and Price refuses him entry because the red death disease has spread across the lands. The man offers his wife as payment but Price replies he’d already had her. He tells a woman he’s kidnapped that the noble thought he was a good man but faced with dire consequences he exposes himself to be as base and the lowest person. It actually looks like Price is enjoying himself being so wicked. Along the way his character finds out that power corrupts all.<br /><br />The movie is surprisingly good and the ending is a treat. Definitely one of Price’s better efforts and a great adaptation of the work of Poe.
