In 1972, in London, the Shakespearean ham actor Edward Lionheart (Vincent Price), who is presumed dead, kills each one of the critics who denied to him the award of Best Actor, accusing him of not being creative. He uses the plays of Shakespeare to elaborate his revenge against his detractors and prove they were wrong. "Theater of Blood" is a very black comedy mixed with horror, which has Vincent Price in a great performance as a lunatic frustrated actor looking for revenge, a very dark and gore atmosphere, great photography and an original story that hooks the attention until the last scene. I do not like Shakespeare, so I found the dialogs in many parts very boring. But fans of Shakespeare will certainly love the lines based on his plays. My vote is seven.
