Vincent Price plays a ham actor who survives a flamboyant suicide attempt and comes back to take revenge on his critics by killing them off in horrible Shakespearean ways. Price is so shamelessly over-the-top, you'd think he'd be the whole show, but Diana Rigg as his daughter and chief accomplice has a good time, too. Robert Morley's demise, based on "Titus Andronicus", is particularly nasty.
