Price chews the scenery as only he can, while Rigg brings beauty & class to the production with a great supporting cast of British character actors.

Diana Rigg (his daughter) to avenge himself by disposing of each More

**_Shakespeare-quoting Price hams it up in this horror/thriller black comedy_**

Vincent Price stars as a bitter Shakespearean actor in modern London who is thought to be dead due to suicide. Actually, he's alive-and-not-well and goes after his unrelenting highbrow critics. Diana Rigg plays his un More
