This is the movie that avenges critics. Stuck-up critics are been murdered one by one and there is nothing that can save them from this horror. Vincent Price has always been one of my favourite horror actors and here he is truly wonderful as he plays the vengeful actor who kills the critics. Theatre Of Blood is one of those movies that you really enjoy, it has that addictive character, that morbid and macabre humour, that aesthetic that makes the movie one of those bizarre films that come out of nowhere and fill your heart with passion and lust. The film has definitely a highly ironic character focusing on the villain who is here really the hero of the movie. The critics helpless, snobbish, self-absorbed are left with nothing to do than wait for their pitiful death. And yes the movie takes great pleasure in picturing the deaths of those critics, they are all highly imaginative and creative. Vincent Price's character takes great pleasure in eliminating those fucking assholes and takes great pride in his business that considers it some kind of art. Theatre Of Blood is definitely an eccentric movie, a movie that takes much from theatre, takes much from pantomime, takes much from that artistic flavour, that artistic temperament that seems to fill the movie with great scenes, memorable moments and great cynically humoristic gags. Theatre Of Blood is a movie that rarely gets mentioned, it is one of the cult movies that are for really devoted film goers and fanatics of the great and unforgettable Vincent Price, but truth says that it is a movie that really and truly manages to satisfy your appetite and make you feel that eccentricity and macabre go hand in hand, in a movie that really loves to shock, in a way that is so delightful and artistic, that you are not sure if you are watching a horror movie or a B arthouse film. Theatre Of Blood is a movie that goes with good whiskey, it is the perfect recipe for a winter evening, the perfect recipe for an artistic night, the perfect recipe for a night that you want to have different and idiosyncratic nightmares and you want to be shaken in a most bizarre way. If you hate critics and you take them for pompous assholes, then that's definitely the film for you, it gives so much hell to those bastards that you are feeling a sinister glee coming to your face after the movie ends.
