harika bir edgar allan poe eseri ve bu eserden uyarlanmış film. tek cümleyle özetlemek gerekirse:
"tanrıyla anlaşma yapabilirsiniz, şeytanla da anlaşma yapabilirsiniz, ama ölümle asla!"

prens prospero ve red death arasında geçen ve akılda en çok kalan bir dialog vardır ki:
p: Thank you your excelancy.
r: I have no titles, why do you call me "excelancy"?
P: well, i thought you were an ambassador of Sa-
r: it is not my master, death has no masters...
p: but satan rules the universe, I made a pact with him!
r: it does not rule alone, and your pact with him will not save you.
p: there is no other god! Satan killed him-
r: Each man creates his own god for himself; his own heaven, his own hell...*
