I'm not dissing Shakespeare's play like others have because it's trashy, yet it seems like it's a bit by the numbers in terms of its exploration of villainy and revenge with added gore/horror to make it seem novel. The dinner scene though at the end of the film was really cool and well ahead of its time. I think it's a pretty good horror film/play which almost seems as if it had been written in the 20th/21st centuries as opposed to the 16th. As a film I'd say it's worth checking out, it's very unusual with the mix of different styles across time periods.
