Theatre of Blood

 

Why?

This movie came highly recommended by my mom, so I just had to watch it.

What in the world?

An actor that feels he did not get what he deserved goes on a murderous rampage against those that he believe plotted against him.

Personal thoughts

This movie was crazy. I thought the premise was really interesting and then when I found out that his killings were SPOILER based on plays he had done during the play season, I was fascinated. That is just such an interesting idea for a serial killer. The plot twist at the end of his henchman really came out of left field and was interesting. I would never have been able to guess it. The dog murder in the movie was very strange. I mean he killed some stuffed animals. One part that really made me laugh though was the fencing scene. I mean the fact that they were fencing and jumping on floor trampolines was just such a strange thing to watch. I am upset about how the movie ended though.

Score

I have to give this movie a 7 out of 10. There was a lot of murder, but I thought that was interesting. The homeless people of the movie were really a lot though and that kind of took me out of it. I do think that the ending is a main reason that the score is kind of low. SPOILER! I think Vincent Price should have murdered everyone and got away with it. I know I know he was crazed and raving mad, but I grew attached to his dedication and creativity. Call me crazy for that if you must.

Watch what you love,
