Damn. It's Shakespeare gone horribly awry, embracing his evil side. Imagine Stephen King writing an Elizabethan play based on the Gladiator movie script and this might be the result. Somehow, I enjoyed it, even though most of the characters were sadistic assholes. The part where Tamora eats the pie with the blood of her sons in it is applaudable, and I'm not ashamed to say I laughed. Titus was a pretty interesting antihero- highly emotional and violently insane. And, I guess my pity and desire for Lavinia's justice kept me drawn to the plot. Speaking of Lavinia, the only lark in a city of crows, all I can say about her fate is.... Why Shakespeare, why!?
