Reviews (1)
Vincent Price is brilliant in the role of an unappreciated artist who takes unusual revenge on his critics. I’m not afraid to say that Theatre of Blood is a predecessor of slashers. It’s a very entertaining film with many diverse murders, but also some situations that felt a bit too contrived (e.g. the Othello-style murder).
