Quarantine Watch #608: The Masque of the Red Death

This is a hot mess from top to bottom. Every actor is just going for it, but the plot is hard to get around. It dips and dives in so many different directions that play as a metaphor for trying to avoid death, but just becomes about rich people being dicks because they love Satan so much The production design pretty great especially with how vibrant the colors are and the scene was the daggers is so good, but other than that the real saving grace of this film is Vincent Price. His voice is so commanding and performative that you are can’t help but be drawn into him. It is also amazing how close Maurice LaMarche gets to impersonating him and Orson Welles and how they sound so similar.
