The last in American International Pictures’ Edgar Allen Poe series is thefirst film brave enough to star both Vincent Price and Christopher Lee! Disfigured by African sorcery and shackled by his ashamed aristocratic brother (Vincent Price), a deranged killer embarks on a vengeful killing spree while being sheltered by a grave-digging doctor (Christopher Lee) in Gordon Hessler’s The Oblong Box.
“[The Oblong Box] has a really enigmatic quality as Hessler’s camera prowls through the sombre mansion, using subjective camera to conveythe alienated, animal-like existence of the strange” – Time Out
