Theatre of Blood (1973, Vincent Price, Diana Rigg)

Published

on


In the tongue in cheek horror Theatre of Blood Vincent Price portrays a Shakespearean actor who gets even with eight critics, who have all panned his performances, by killing them. His clever methods of disposal are re-creations of death scenes from the plays he has appeared in.

Diana Rigg plays his daughter. Price is perfectly cast as the demented thespian, and the fine supporting cast includes Robert Morley, Ian Hendry, Harry Andrews, Robert Coote, Jack Hawkins, Diana Dors, Milo O’Shea, Dennis Price, Eric Sykes, and Joan Hickson.
