Most easily described as 'deliciously nasty,' though some moments are far from delicious.
July 23, 2008
One of the highlight's of Vincent Price's later career, a film that fused his reputation as a horror star with his penchant for self-parody.
September 25, 2007
Gory, imaginative, wildly melodramatic -- good fun.
June 24, 2006
Comedy horror that really does give Vincent Price a chance to do his stuff, with deliciously absurd results.

Ferocious gore-satire

For anyone who's ever wished ill on a pundit (we know you're out there), Price's merciless antics should strike a gleeful chord.
July 01, 2008
Theater of Blood reprises the multiple-revenge theme of the Phibes films, but injects new life into the concept with a superior script and stellar cast.

Memorable for its lurid set-pieces (notably Robert Morley being forced to eat his own poodles), it also remains a favourite among critics; suggesting, perhaps, a certain guilty conscience. Punish us!

Now we don't normally take to the idea that someone should go around murdering critics, since more than one disc producer is after our own head, but the movie is always a treat when it shows up on late night television.
July 01, 2008
Theatre of Blood is black comedy played for chills and mood and emerges a macabre piece of wild melodramatics.
October 07, 2013
The magnum opus of Vincent Price's film career, this stylish, witty comedy horror boasts an irresistible premise, an inspired ensemble cast, fabulous music and first-rate production values.
