HALLOW-LEE-N movie review Oct 11th : The Oblong Box (1969)
An adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe, and Vincent Price's debut on this review list. And a tiny 2 second cameo that nonetheless nearly made yell COLIN JEAVONS??? out loud.
This is the story of two brothers, Edward and Julian. Edward has been tortured and disfigured while in Africa, and has subsequently gone mad and is kept in the attic by his brother.
Two guys have a plan to break Edward out though, by enlisting the help of an African "witch doctor". He sends a pill to Edward via sarbacane to make him sleep a deathlike sleep à la Juliet Capulet. Thus Edward is declared dead, shut in a coffin and buried. Somehow the scheming duo had not forseen this happening.
Edward's coffin gets stolen and brought to a doctor practicing experiments on bodies, played by Lee. Edward basically blackmailed Dr. Newhart into fostering him for the time being while he enacts his Revenge, while wearing a red cloak over his face.
Adapting Edgar Allan Poe and trying to make it less racist is difficult, so I can appreciate that they tried, but methinks they could have tried just a bit harder. At least they gave the message that what happened was the brothers' own fault for being colonizers and slavers.
Lee delivers a very tasty death scene, and Price is always delightful. Too bad that some of the key scenes in this movie were filmed in complete darkness where I couldn't see a thing.
Overall a fairly enjoyable movie, dark as Poe can be. 6/10 very good costuming too.

Preview: The Oblong Box (Bluray)
In The Oblong Box, masters of terror Vincent Price and Christopher Lee are both at their spine-chilling best in this grisly Gothic tale of the macabre, inspired by an Edgar Allan Poe story. In shadow-shrouded Victorian England, Sir Julian Markham (Price) is a landowner hiding a terrible family secret, while Dr Neuhartt (Lee) is a surgeon carrying out dreadful experiments upon stolen cadavers.…
