Theater of Blood Ratings & Reviews
Philadelphia Inquirer
William B. Collins
A frequently amusing exercise in camp horror that misses being wholly satisfying because it has too many people to kill.
Philadelphia Daily News
Joe Baltake
It's modish, hip, and cleverly gruesome.
San Francisco Examiner
Michele Lomax
A horror film on a heroic scale.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Many actors would kill for the opportunity to perform Shakespeare on screen -- here, Vincent Price gets to have his soliloquy and devour it, too.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
The film attests to the freedom Vincent Price enjoyed in playing with his image, pushing potentially ludicrous concepts into realms of poetic feeling and psychological complexity.
Edge Media Network
Frank J. Avella
highly recommend "Theater of Blood" for fans of theater, satire, or horror, or for anyone who has ever gotten a bad review.
Citizen Dame
Lauren Humphries-Brooks
Theater of Blood is a rare delight. It's a camp horror film, a dissection of Shakespeare, a diatribe against cruel critics, a wicked adoration of the acting profession.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Ferocious gore-satire
ESplatter
Steve Biodrowski
One of the highlight's of Vincent Price's later career, a film that fused his reputation as a horror star with his penchant for self-parody.
Variety
Variety Staff
Theatre of Blood is black comedy played for chills and mood and emerges a macabre piece of wild melodramatics.
PopMatters
Elena Razlogova
Theater of Blood reprises the multiple-revenge theme of the Phibes films, but injects new life into the concept with a superior script and stellar cast.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
Most easily described as 'deliciously nasty,' though some moments are far from delicious.
TV Guide
Wholly entertaining and memorable, Theatre of Blood is ripe camp, an excellent film, and a lasting tribute to the career of one of the most important actors in the genre.
Chicago Reader
Don Druker
Gory, imaginative, wildly melodramatic -- good fun.
Blunt Review
Emily Blunt
For the poodle scene alone...
