Titus Andronicus

Synopsis

Independent low-budget feature film. Ridiculed by some, criticised by all, this cult horror movie places Shakespeare’s play in ancient Rome. The product description reads "this is the saga of a noble man cruelly betrayed and brutally persecuted - ultimately driven to madness and murder by the ‘wilderness of tigers’ of the Roman Court. A tale of timeless relevance and depth, yet a bizarre and exotic indulgence in the horrific imagery of humankind’s inhumanity to itself... torture, dismemberment, murder, conspiracy, dementia, cannibalism, infanticide AND MORE! This film is an intentional "cult" treatment: a close adaptation of Shakespeare’s original drama, enhanced with an original musical score of cello and therein, heavily laced with outrageous scenes of gory violence and preposterous mayhem. This two hour and twenty minute epic feature tells the powerful tale as it was intended, focused on the simple truth that violence and revenge simply begets only more violence and revenge. Enjoy!"
