Classic Price, Lorre and Karloff movie

Update feed

"Plot: A powerful sorcerer is dragged into a duplicitous power struggle by a couple of his occultic compatriots. One of Roger Corman's many adaptations of Poe's work, The Raven uses the famous poem as a springboard for a fantastical plot about wizards vying for great power. Sounds dark but it's actually a light-hearted, humorous affair led by the charm and prowess of three horror heavies (Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, and Peter Lorre). In lesser hands the material might show how thin it truly i"
Classic Price, Lorre and Karloff movie
“For a long time I have loved The Raven, always have found funny and spooky with great lead performances and atmosphere. And I still think that. The special effects are a little dated, but are not bad enough to upset the film too much. Besides the Gothic settings are lavish and add to the atmosphere wonderfully. The throw-away one-liners and the dialogue in general is very clever, witty and arch, while the story while not bearing resemblance much to the Poe poem is thrilling in the duel between Price and Karloff and with a great atmosphere. The cast are brilliant. It was nice to see a young Jack Nicholson, and Hazel Court is a lovely presence. But the three leads are the main selling points.

"23.6. Blu-ray Seuraava Corman-Poe-Price -ringin elokuva vaihtaakin kÀytÀnnössÀ kokonaan komediaksi ja se ei lupaavan alun jÀlkeen harmillisesti tÀytÀ kaikkia odotuksia hullaannuttavasta pelleilystÀ. Vincent Pricen ja Boris Karloffin vÀlinen loppukliimaksin taikurointimatsi on vÀlillÀ huikeaa ja vÀlillÀ tylsÀÀ paskaa. Peter Lorrea parempaa korppia on vaikea keksiÀ ja Jack Nicholson on palikoiden kuningas. Teknisesti erittÀin taidokas halpis on tÀmÀkin."

"HyvÀntuulisessa Corman-klassikossa lopullisesti röpÀhtÀnyt Peter Lorre muutetaan vadelmahilloksi. Vai muutetaanko? KÀÀnteitÀ piisaa, kivat nÀyttelijÀt, hyvÀt myllyt."

"BELA LUGOSI'S VAMPIRE CAPE4-in-1 cape Lugosi wore in "The Raven," "Return of the Vampire," "The Whispering Shadow," and "Plan 9 From Outer Space."PRICE: A bargain at $39,000, you might even come back from the dead "

"3.2. Cormanin versio Poen runosta on omituista perseilyÀ, jossa korpiksi muutettu Peter Lorre lentÀÀ Vincent Pricen ikkunasta sisÀÀn ja alkaa vaatia viinaa. Sen jÀlkeen eksyneeltÀ ressukalta vaikuttava Lorre ja omituisesti kekkuloiva Price lÀhtevÀt Boris Karloffin linnaan etsimÀÀn Pricen vaimoa. Mukaan tarttuu Jack Nicholsonin aivan uskomattoman upeasti esittÀmÀ hönöperse, jota enempÀÀ kukaan ei voi olla kujalla. PiristÀvÀ Poe-versiointi tuo typeryydessÀÀn mieleen lÀhes sa"

"Corman-perseilyÀ ja puolikuollut Peter Lorre. EihÀn nÀistÀ voi olla pitÀmÀttÀ. "
