by Michael Seymour Blake a drive by halloween recommendationVincent Price always dreamed of being a Shakespearean actor, and it shows—he’s operating at full power here, elaborate costume changes and all. And Diana Rigg as Edwina Lionheart doesn’t get lost in his fire. She keeps up well, adding a deranged pathos to the story. The pace of this movie can only be described as “party,” with hardly a moment passing before the next unhinged event unfolds. The script walks the line between goofiness and genuine menace, and the performances match that intention perfectly. Everyone on screen seems to be having just as much fun as I was watching it. This is one of those “it’s been on my list for 30+ years” movies, and I’m so glad I finally got around to seeing it. Totally worth watching, owning, and re-watching. Within the first four minutes, I knew this was going to be something special. It only got better from there. Comments are closed.
