Screen legend Vincent Price (The Tomb of Ligeia) delivers a thrilling tour-de-force performance as a small-time actor plotting big-time revenge! This dramatically delicious concoction is an equal mixture of horror, comedy and Shakespeare that’ll please just about everyone—critics included! After years of suffering deadly reviews, hammy Shakespearean actor Edward Lionheart (Price) decides it’s curtains for his critics. Bumping off his detractors with executions inspired by the Bard, Lionheart stages a beheading in the manner of Cymbeline, a stabbing inspired by Julius Caesar and even an untimely removal of a pound of flesh improvised from The Merchant of Venice—proving once and for all that all the world really is a stage... for murder!

Vincent Price, der beste Horrordarsteller aller Zeiten, ist hier in einem seiner besten Filme zu sehen. Er ist an schwarzem humor und Eleganz kaum zu übertreffen. Höchstens noch von Dr. Phibes. Und wer hat dort die Hauptrolle???

Dies ist einer der besten Filme des genialen Vincent Price und auch sonst ein ungemein unterhaltender und spannender Thriller mit einer gehörigen Portion schwärzestem Humor. Unbedingt ansehen!!!
