About This Movie

Tower of London (1962) is a fascinating blend of history and horror, directed by Roger Corman. It’s got this moody, atmospheric quality that really draws you in. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the tension, especially as Richard III spirals deeper into madness. The practical effects, while not always perfect, have a certain charm—those ghostly apparitions are effective and add a layer of eerie dread. Vincent Price, as Richard, delivers a performance that’s both compelling and unsettling, embodying the tortured soul haunted by his own deeds. It’s a unique interpretation of the historical figure, with a heavy dose of Gothic flair that sets it apart from other adaptations. Worth a look for anyone interested in Corman’s work or the darker side of history.
