THE OBLONG BOX

With Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, Sally Geeson, Alistair Williamson
Directed by Gordon Hessler

Edgar Allan Poe's tale set in 19th century England has two bothers at its core, one locked away apparently having a contagious disease. He escapes and murder ensues. With voodoo and a whole bunch of underhandedness the horror catches up with those who found themselves at the wrong end of the offended party. With two classic horror actors Price and Lee in the cast, this is an enjoyable little film, which drags a little at times, but delivers a cool payoff.
