VHS Movie Reviews of The Raven [VHS]
Movie Review: Enter The Magician -- Price, Lorre & Karloff Comedy!
Summary: 4 Stars
Vincent Price The Fall of the House of Usher is Craven, a recluse magician and son of a powerful wizard who died long ago (and whose coffin is conveniently in his basement, but I digress). Peter Lorre flies in as a raven, changed into this doubtful bird by Scarabus (Karloff) who plots and plans to lure Craven and steal his power.
Lots of funny stuff and silliness between these horror icons makes for a cheesy, fun time for a Halloween viewing. I've read where Lorre & Price were ad-libbing like crazy during the filming, irritating Karloff who was going by script.
Richard Matheson The Incredible Shrinking Man wrote the wild screenplay, directed by the infamous Roger Corman, one of American International's decent horror comedies.
A young Jack Nicholson The Shining as the bumbling son of Lorre's character, dressed like Robin Hood. Jack was much better as a scary horror icon than the forced attempts at humor. According to some trivia, during the raven scenes, the bird seemed to poop on Jack more than any other cast member! The magic duel was OK with the less than spectacular animation. I like the snakes turning into hankerchiefs and gargoyles becoming a bunch of puppies. Cute & cheesy.
Recommend seeing this with the DVD special collection: The Comedy of Terrors/The Raven
