A Shakespearean actor takes poetic revenge on the critics who denied him recognition.
- Kevin WardJuly 7, 2025Vincent Price performing Shakespeare and silencing his critics. This movie rocks. Creative kills abound in this revenge slasher+ as Edward Lionheart and his island of misfit toys reenact the murders from his Shakesperean repertory theater run, exacting those murders on the very critics who panned them. Loved the beheading scene but the trampoline sword duel 🤺 was 🔥. Tons of cheese, but this is all the better for it. A total blast to see Price and Rigg, two icons performing together.
