I had actually never seen Edgar G. Ulmer’s 1934 classic rendition of Poe to the screen. Starring Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff, it is one of the key horror films of the early sound period and really of all time, introducing audiences to both of these soon to be legends, if for both of them, this was definitely one of their better films. While the plot effectively makes no sense, it doesn’t matter. No one is watching this for a carefully orchestrated story. Between the amazing modernist architecture, the ridiculous Satanism, the incredibly creepy dead women hanging in some sort of suspended animation, and the cool cinematography, it’s just a fun film. There should be more films with modernist architecture as an active villain, and I say that liking modernist architecture generally.
