The Mansion of Madness — La mansión de la locura 03/11/25

Juan López Moctezuma’s bizarre Edgar Allan Poe adaptation gets new life in a new 4K transfer with a correct widescreen aspect ratio. An entire corps of Mexican artists and actors designed and staged this macabre happening, the old tale of maniacs that take over the asylum. It stars Claudio Brook and sounds good in both Spanish and English language versions. This is one of those remasters that causes us to reevaluate a show that didn’t appeal on first viewing … plus, the authoritative extras include direct input from some of the filmmakers and a full documentary on the director. On Blu-ray from Vinegar Syndrome.
