Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Benedito Dias Rodrigues Three short stories from Edgar Allan Poe that has a comedy treatment and black humor,in first segment "Morella" a daughter visiting the dying father (Price) after long time was haunting by mother's ghost,the second segment "The Black Cat" is more interesting,Peter Lorre playing a Jealous husband when your wife falling in love to high class wine-taste (Price) and third and final segment "The Case of Mr. Valdemar played by Price who is dying has a help of a hypnotist (Rathbone) before the death comes....directed by Corman this tales are really amazing!!!

gridoon2018 Three-part horror anthology: in "Morella", a young woman (Maggie Pierce) returns to her widowed father's mansion after 26 years, and finds him hostile at first, guilt-ridden later. But there is someone else in the house who has awaited her return all these years....Vincent Price has at least one great line ("I did bury her, but I couldn't leave her there! That would be deranged!"), and the payoff is illogical but effective. In "The Black Cat", a pathetic drunkard (Peter Lorre) finds out that his wife is cheating on him - and thinks of a drastic solution. This tale is mostly played for laughs (seeing Price tasting wine is Priceless!); it's a little too long, but inventively directed and has a clever twist ending (if you haven't read the story). In "The Case of Mr. Valdemar", a wicked hypnotist (Basil Rathbone) thinks he can trap the dying Price's mind in the exact moment of death forever. It's a great idea, and Price gives a moving performance, but the ending is king of weak. Overall, I think the second segment is the most successful one, but the entire movie is worth seeing. *** out of 4.

jacobjohntaylor1 This movie has great acting. It also has great special effects. It also has great story lines. 6.9 is underrating this movie. I give this movie 9 out of 10. Because it is one of the scariest movies I have seen. If this horror film does not scary you then no horror film will. This is a bunch of short horror stories. I so mush more lines. I and am Running out things to say. The 3rd story in this film is my favourite story. My second favourite story is the 2nd story. My 3rd favourite is the first story. This is so scary you scream if you watch it alone. This is a great film. Make a point to see it. I need more lines. Great movie great movie great movie.

Robert Reynolds This is one of a series of films very loosely adapted from the works of Edgar Allen Poe and produced by Roger Corman. There will be spoilers ahead: When you're watching any of the films Roger Corman produced based on the works of Edgar Allen Poe, it pays to remember that the connection between story and film is very loose, sometimes the title is almost the only similarity (as with The Raven). Here there are three tales, one rather more comedic in nature than the others, using four Poe stories as a starting point.The three pieces each have Vincent Price in common. The supporting cast differs between them. The first segment, "Morella", is also the most loosely adapted of the three. It doesn't really match the plot of the story, taking only the title and a basic element and grafting a different plot on. It's the weakest segment of the three. Price has been in mourning over the death of his wife shortly after childbirth. The daughter he sent away returns and forces a reconciliation. The ending is horrific in nature. I won't spoil it here.The second segment, "The Black Cat", is a hybrid of Poe's "The Black Cat" and "The Cask of Amontillado", taking the title and some basic plot points from the first and some character names and a plot point and dialog from the second. It's the funniest of the three segments and I suspect the film was arranged so that this would lighten the mood slightly. Peter Lorre appears here as Montresor, with Price's character name actually combining the names of two characters in a rather funny way. Though significant liberties are taken, if you've read the two stories, you'll probably figure this one out early. The wine-tasting contest between Price and Lorre is comedy gold! Lorre is very good here, as is Price.The third segment is "The Facts In the Case of M. Valdemar" and is the most straightforward of the three. Excellent performances by Price and Basil Rathbone as the two principles pretty much make this the strongest segment. It's also the most disturbing one. The plotting is the tightest and it has the best pacing, though the outcome can be spotted a mile off. Excellent close to the feature.This film is available on DVD and Blu Ray. The Blu Ray looks great and the film is worth seeing. Recommended.
