Quick Hit

The Masque of the Red Death either bites hard or fizzles out; this one lands dangerously high. The craft actually draws blood.

Full Take

The setup has teeth; the payoff decides whether it bites. It lives or dies on execution, not reputation, and that matters here. British genre discipline gives the film a cleaner shape than many of its pulp peers. The set pieces are what matter, and this one gets some mileage out of them. That keeps it stuck at ELITE.
