The Oblong Box (1969)

A Gothic Horror Mystery-Thriller


Another Price/Poe movie that is worth watching. I found the movie a highly interesting gothic horror mystery-thriller. It is as creepy as it is suspenseful.

Julian Markham (Price) and his brother Edward Markham (Williamson) spent some time in Africa doing some dirty deeds. Edward's face becomes disfigured by a witchdoctor and he is held like a prisoner by his own brother Julian. When Edward escapes he ends up in the home of Dr. Newhartt (Lee) and begins to wear a red mask to hide is disfigured face. Edward wants answers as to why he was the victim of witchcraft and becomes vengeful in doing so.

I do recommend this film for those that enjoy Poe, Price, Lee and classic horror, mysteries and thrillers.

8/10
