In 15th-century England, Richard III (Vincent Price) desperately wants the throne, but his ailing brother, King Edward IV (Justice Watson), instead bestows it upon his other sibling, Clarence (Richard McCauly). This sends Richard into a homicidal rage, resulting in Clarence's murder and the deaths and torture of many others who could keep the crown from the crazed man. But as the mayhem continues, Richard's sanity slips, and the ghosts of the murdered men begin to haunt the beleaguered royal.

Jennie Kermode Eye for Film 02/16/2017
2.5/5
With so many difficulties, this is not the director's finest work... He manages to squeeze in a signature raven, but where his previous work with Price thundered, this film is reduced to gently rapping. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Creative Loafing 02/20/2016
2.5/4
The story is hampered by too many repetitive scenes of Richard being confronted by the ghosts of those he killed, but Price is compelling as the mad ruler (even if some of his bellows sound like Walter Matthau doing Neil Simon). Go to Full Review Read all reviews
