A European prince terrorizes the local peasantry while using his castle as a refuge against the "Red Death" plague that stalks the land.

A lavishly staged descent into decadent despair. The film feels like a fever dream, steeped in opulent dread and the suffocating inevitability of plague. It's a visually stunning, unsettling experience.
