Absolutely wonderful!

This was my introduction to the Masters of Horror series being a Jeffrey Combs and Stuart Gordon fan and it still by far my favourite. Combs plays Edgar Allen Poe himself and is barely recognisable as he imerses himself into the role with such force. It blends his famous story of The Black Cat with Poe's actual life and is very clever in the telling of it thanks to long time collaborator, Dennis Paoli. It doesn't feel much like a Masters of Horror episode as there isn't necessarily a lot of violence or gore (unusual for a Gordon film!) but it has it's disturbing moments and Combs makes the audience feel ill at ease as he falls deeper into alcohol-induced insanity. It is easy to see that they have a lot of respect for the author himself and his work and really did their research. This is more than another episode of the series, it is a labour of love and the performances from all the cast just blew me away. I have watched it several times now and enjoy it each and every time. I firmly believe that Jeffrey Combs should have won some sort of award for his portrayal of the tortured genius. May be a bit slow for fans of the more horrific episodes like Cigarette Burns but it is definitely worth seeing, the hour will fly by!
And also, the extras on the DVD are worth watching too. The featurettes are interesting and a Gordon/Combs commentary is ALWAYS well worth a listen :)- Was this review helpful to you?

(2)'Family' and 'Screwfly Solution' the best
By Yakboy (5 reviews) from london , 24 Dec 2012A mixed bag. 'Pelts' and 'Pro-life' so so. 'Family' hilarious (in a good way). 'The Screwfly Solution' deeply, deeply disturbing.- Was this review helpful to you?
