4.0 out of 5 starsA Gothic Horror Mystery-Thriller
By Rainey Dawn on September 16, 2015
Format: Blu-ray
Another Price/Poe movie that is worth watching. I found the movie a highly interesting gothic horror mystery-thriller. It is as creepy as it is suspenseful.

Julian Markham (Price) and his brother Edward Markham (Williamson) spent some time in Africa doing some dirty deeds. Edward's face becomes disfigured by a witchdoctor and he is held like a prisoner by his own brother Julian. When Edward escapes he ends up in the home of Dr. Newhartt (Lee) and begins to wear a red mask to hide is disfigured face. Edward wants answers as to why he was the victim of witchcraft and becomes vengeful in doing so.

I do recommend this film for those that enjoy Poe, Price, Lee and classic horror, mysteries and thrillers.

8/10

5.0 out of 5 stars“Edward, please! Control yourself!!”
By Einsatz on November 20, 2015
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
England 1865. Two brothers share the same house but one has the freedom to walk about, the other is confined to an upstairs room, shackled. He has “fits” which come and go. With the help of a disreputable barrister (Peter Arne as Trench), the fitful brother fakes his death and is soon confined to a coffin. Said coffin is quickly buried. Happy is the brother (Vincent Price as Julian) who can now marry a much younger woman (Hilary Dwyer as Elizabeth). He is finally free of the thankless duty of caring for his “disabled” brother (played by one actor, voiced by another). All was expected to end well for Julian and his new bride but for some pesky grave robbers who dug up the not quite dead brother, bringing him to a ghoulish doctor (Christopher Lee) for experiments. The poor doctor soon finds himself blackmailed into housing a homicidal maniac. This cantankerous plot also involves a certain amount of revenge murders and an inside/out voodoo curse.

The original script was written so that Vincent Price could play twins, making the curse aspect of the story more understandable. But, that was scrapped in favor of what ended up on the screen. Price’s role was scaled down in favor of the wronged brother. Poor Christopher Lee got stuck with a bit part that didn’t allow him to do much of anything. Still, it is a fun little thriller of sorts. I bought it for my Vincent Price collection.

4.0 out of 5 starsScary!
By Jon Hildreth on December 2, 2015
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
If a movie called THE OBLONG BOX with Vinny Price and Chris Lee sounds good to you, well, this one is even better than it sounds. But it is very dark; maybe not quite as dark as WITCHFINDER GENERAL, but plenty dark enough. Not really light entertainment, but unusually well-made with fine performances. Don't show this one to little kids.

3.0 out of 5 starsOk...Nothing Special...
By James C Girasa on March 5, 2016
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
This review is for the blu-ray version released by Kino Lorber.

The transfer is decent, however I still find the picture to be dark in areas and sometimes unclear. This is probably because of how the movie was filmed and not because of a poor transfer. Still I always enjoy an upgrade in picture even if it's not perfect.I'll take what I can get.

This is the type of movie that probably should have been packaged together with another movie. $20 for two classic movies or $10 per movie sounds about right. It would be better as part of a package much the may the Vincent Price Collections that have recently been made available. But then again, fans of these types of movies are probably going to buy them anyway so it's probably a smart decision by Kino Lorber even if it isn't a great value. I did wait awhile before purchasing to see if the price would go down within a few months of release as some of these releases of older movies on blu-ray have.

The movie itself is just OK. The plot is decent and Christoper Lee is not used a whole lot. He is definitely second fiddle to Vincent Price in this movie and plays a supporting role rather than that of a co-star.

The movies is about an owner of an African plantation who is wrongfully accused of a crime his brother committed and is horribly disfigured by a native witch doctor. His brother (Vincent Price) keeps him locked away out of sight in his attic for the remainder of his life. The deformed brother plots to escape by being buried alive. The plot goes awry and the deformed brother seeks revenge on just about everybody...

A big complaint is the appearance of the deformed brother. The movie builds up his appearance as if he is so horribly disfigured that nobody could stand to look at his face.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsThe Merchant of Menace Strikes Again!
By Critic's Corner on November 1, 2009
Format: VHS Tape
This was the last film American International Pictures did in the Poe series and unfortunately has little to do with the Poe classic. Much tragedy hit this film as it was being produced, with one of the screenwriters dying 11 days into production. What's up with that? The Oblong Box

The film has a lot of atmosphere, dark colors, eerie Psycho-like music and debauchery from colonial Britain ripping off the Africans and treating them badly. In retaliation for killing a boy from a tribe that worked a family-owned plantation, one of the Markum brothers got a voodoo curse (the start of the film has Edward being nailed to a tree, ouch). It's a very pro-Black, anti-colonial Britain film in a lot of ways.

Edward returns to England mad (as in totally nuts) and Julian (Vincent Price) has Edward locked and chained in his room. Unable to escape, Edward hatches a plot with a witchdoctor and Julian's family lawyer, Trench. Trench has a mind of his own however, and in the confusion kinda "forgets" that Edward is pretending to be dead in an oblong box and ends up being buried alive.

That would have been the end of the film right there but for Christopher Lee's character, a creepy doctor who likes to experiment on cadavers, the warmer the better. As Dr. Newhartt collects Edward's remains, the remains reach up and attempt to choke the good doctor and through blackmail gets his cooperation.

The overall story is somewhat predictable with a few twists and turns to keep the viewer entertained. The prostitutes in a bar, the barfights, the murders that Edward performs (but the blood is so fake and the slashing of the throats looks very unrealistic).Read more ›
