Roger Corman's last Edgar Allan Poe adaptation, filmed in England this uses some superb Gothic sets and locations, most notably an ancient abbey in Norfolk (Stonehenge does gets a brief scene too). Excellent cast, Vincent Price, with his dark glasses, hams it up delightfully as ever. The movie looks fantastic on Blu-ray, every scene is a joy to the eyes. What lets it down for me, to some extent, is that it is a little on the slow side and also I found it somewhat low on horror (at least compared to the previous adaptations). Much of the plot takes place in the day rather than at night. A black cat features throughout and this tale is more black cat than The Black Cat. Ligeia is far from my favourite in the series however it is still a good slice of colourful Gothic horror/melodrama.
