New Masque of the Red Death Trailer

A trailer for a new short film based on Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death" has appeared on Youtube. The picture is directed by Guillaume Moiton and appears to closely follow the story's course, when a vengeful plague victim crashes a decadent refuge walled off from a dead wasteland. Judging by the trailer, this is an amateur effort, but it appears to capture the atmospheric component of antiquated decadence that Poe sought to cultivate in his tale. The masks worn by these revelers are also strangely alluring. Keep an eye out for the full short.
