This follows on from the two Dr Phibes films with Vincent Price playing an old ham actor ( not too much of a stretch ) who starts murdering a circle of critics in Shakespearean fashion after taking their words a bit too seriously. It's a jolly enough piece of hokum with a surprisingly strong cast, many of whom don't get much screen time and some poignant glimpses of the rundown London of the early seventies.
Diana Rigg ( as Edwina Lionheart )
Sex : No
Death : Killed by a blow to the head from a vagrant
Diana is a much-loved British actress who made her name in the sixties, playing Emma Peel in The Avengers and James Bond's ill-fated wife in On Her Majesty's Secret Service. This is the only horror film on her c.v.. She is still very active at 79.
Madeline Smith ( as Rosemary )
Sex : No
Death : Survives
Madeline is completely wasted in a nothing role.
