The Oblong Box

The Oblong Box (1969) is a British gothic horror you can watch online on iFILM. Director Gordon Hessler hands the screen to two genre titans — Vincent Price and Christopher Lee — and traps them in the fog of an English manor.

Two brothers come home from Africa, and one of them returns wrong. Disfigured by a curse and kept chained away from the world, Sir Edward fakes his own death to break free. The grave does not hold him. What follows is a hooded killer working through a list of grudges, while the household tries to bury its secrets a second time. Loosely spun off a tale by Edgar Allan Poe, the film leans on mood over gore: a coffin, a mask, candlelit corridors, and Price doing what he does best — quiet menace in a good coat. Comfort viewing for fans of late-1960s American International horror. Stream The Oblong Box online on iFILM.
