another "Monster" who was simply a Human driven by the cruelty of others into becoming a vengeful "Monster"
Renowned Shakespearean actor, Edward Lionheart... was dine very "dirty" by the "better than thou" Critics.... they denied him the Award that should have rightfully been given to him... and they laughed at him when he tried to plead with them... so he "apparently jumped to his death, heart-broken...
he later washed up next to a make-shift dewlling place for a group of poor "Homeless" folks... who nursed him back to health....
He then set about ploting his Revenge upon those who had "Wronged" Him...
and using some "creative" ways to off them (each murder based upon the works of William Shakespeare) ... all in all a "Fun" film....!!!!
The first murder was based off of "Julius Caesar " ... and on the "ides of March" as well...
One Critic beheaded and his headless corpse left lying next to his sleeping wife... the severed head was left at the door of the "Chief Critic"...
"Richard the III"
Portraying many of the Bard's great "Characters" ... he does them in one by one....
...as "Shylock".... the "pound of Flesh" was the Critic's Heart....
And had this fat fellow eat his own little dogs (his "Babies", as he called them)
Another great thing about this movie, was the Lovely Diana Rigg portrayed his Daughter...
And for the "lady" Critic... something a bit "special"... she gets to play the part of "Joan of Ark"...
and is "Fried" at the hair stylist's shop...
Straps her into the chair and gives her a "treatment" that "curls her hair"....
Fried alive... just like Joan of Ark...
And of course the great Vincent Price goes out in "Style"... quoting Shakespere as the place burns around him... And the Death of an enjoyable Villain....
Another tragic tail of a man turned into a monster.....
