\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Not everyone can handle unflattering press. I mean, as an actor, a writer, a painter, or even a shoe salesman you have to accept that not everyone is going to like what you do or how you do it. Occasionally, you’re going to get a bad review.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n“There, now, that wasn’t so good, was it?”<\/p>\n

In Theatre of Blood<\/em>, Vincent Price plays Edward Lionheart, a Shakespearean actor who gets a bit cranky when the critics say he laid an egg.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n“Well, maybe not THAT big.”<\/p>\n

Since he’s Vincent Price and the film’s title is Theatre of Blood<\/em>, you can imagine what happens to Britain’s answer to Siskel, Ebert, Roeper, Maltin, and Shalit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n“I hated it!”<\/p>\n

This is a fun film. Directed by Douglas Hickox, who also helmed The Giant Behemoth<\/em> and Brannigan<\/em>, Theatre of Blood<\/em> is full of stuffy British theatre critics and grisly, yet inventive deaths. It also boasts a talented cast, including Diana Rigg, Ian Hendry, Coral Browne (Mrs. Vincent Price!), Dennis Price, of Kind Hearts and Coronets<\/em> fame, Jack Hawkins, and the wonderfully over-the-top, Robert Morley. You should watch.<\/p>\n
