"The crowning glory of Vincent Price's career as the screen's horror-comic bogeyman...partnered wonderfully by the equally versatile Diana Rigg. Superb!" - Kim Newman, Empire "Well regarded amongst Price fans and beloved b... more »y the late actor himself, Theatre Of Blood offers Price one of those rare 'perfect' roles. No one else could have brought the same sense of both mayhem and tragedy to this part." - Ian Jane, Rock! Shock! Pop! Theatre of Blood (1973), directed by Douglas Hickox, has the one and only Vincent Price in a role both madcap and touching. He plays a Shakespearean actor determined to wreak vengeance on the critics who fail to appreciate his genius, killing them in a series of set-piece murders based on scenes from Shakespeare. Diana Rigg plays Price's Cordelia-like daughter, and a lineup of British thespian legends incarnate the critics, including Robert Morley, Jack Hawkins, Harry Andrews, Arthur Lowe, Robert Coote, Michael Hordern, Dennis Price, Ian Hendry, and Coral Browne.« less
