Description:
Murders
in the Rue Morgue (also known as Edgar Allan Poe's
Murders in the Rue Morgue) is a 1971 British mystery horror
film directed by Gordon Hessler, loosely based on Edgar Allan Poe's
1841 short story. It stars Jason Robards, Christine Kaufmann,
Herbert Lom, Adolfo Celi, Michael Dunn and Lilli Palmer. The film
was produced by the British branch of American International
Pictures (AIP), and is the final film of AIP's "Poe cycle".
Herbert Lom and Jason Robards star as a disfigured murderer and a
duplicitous actor, locking horns over their love for the same woman
in this sumptuous-looking arthouse horror that riffs on Poe's
classic murder mystery. One of Gordon Hessler and Chris Wicking's
acclaimed run of films for AIP UK, Murders in the Rue Morgue has
been painstakingly restored by Hammer in 4K from the original film
negatives. It is presented here as both Hessler's original
director's cut and AIP's re-edited theatrical version.
Madeline, the leading lady of a Parisian "grand guignol" theatre
troupe, is haunted by visions of an axe-wielding maniac. When a
member of her acting company is horribly murdered, she fears that
more will follow.
In early-20th century Paris, a theatre
troupe is specializing in gory, naturalistic horror plays in the
fashion of the Grand Guignol, under the direction of Cesar Charron.
Charron is presenting Poe's "The Murders in the Rue Morgue".
Cesar's wife, the actress Madeline, whose mother had been murdered
by axe, is haunted by nightmares of an axe-wielding man. Then,
suddenly, Rene Marot, a former lover of Madeline's mother thought
long dead after being horribly disfigured on stage, mysteriously
returns and begins murdering members and ex-members of the acting
troupe, confounding the Paris police, who initially suspect Cesar.
