Edward Lionheart (Vincent Price) stars as an actor overlooked for a critics' acting award, despite producing a season of Shakespeare plays. After confronting the Critics' Circle, an attempted suicidal dive into the Thames results in Lionheart being rescued by your typical paraffin/meths/turps swigging tramps. Lionheart then (presumed dead) exacts his grizzly, and quite amusing revenge on the critics who denied him his finest hour.

Masterful shocker!

THEATER OF BLOOD

Aspect ratio: 1.66:1

Sound format: Mono

Vincent Price hams it up with gusto as the Shakespearean actor driven to attempt suicide by the mocking cat-calls of an unsympathetic Critics' Circle in Douglas Hickox' masterful horror film. Taking revenge on his detractors using methods outlined in the Great Bard's timeless plays, Price cuts a bloody swath through these self-centered buffoons, keeping a clueless police force at arm's length as the bodies pile up in grisly fashion. Playful in a morbid kind of way, the film refuses to compromise the brutality of Shakespeare's work, and the killings themselves are often deeply unpleasant, but while the succession of murderous set-pieces may remind viewers of a similar narrative structure in the ultra-popular "Dr. Phibes" series, "Theater" is distinguished by its literary aspirations and by the obvious relish with which an all-star cast attacks the fruity dialogue and gruesome/hilarious plot developments. Memorable music score by Michael J. Lewis, too.
