Synopsis
These 8 masterpieces are part of the fascinating Edgar Poe cycle, which gave Roger Corman his letters of nobility in Europe. The stories take place in superb and very colorful studio settings: haunted mansions, fantastic landscapes, swamps invaded by fog…. The staging is neat, and Roger Corman is particularly fond of dreamlike effects. A formidable talent scout, Roger Corman made actor Vincent Price a monument to horror cinema. These films have a certain analogy with the productions of Hammer, but with a pronounced taste for the theatrical and an almost expressionist staging. In 2010, Roger Corma will receive an Honorary Oscar for his entire career.
