What a beautiful and haunting adaptation. Taylor Myers, as mastermind director & lead, is a force to be reckoned with. Chilling performances by the entirety of the cast as well. Bravo.

This movie was not only the worst Hamlet but possibly the worst movie I've seen so far this year. Total hogwash

Ignore all these glowing "fake" reviews that have been upvoted by the other "fake" reviewers...

You know the movie is bad when they need to try and manipulate the score.....

Bad movie from start to finish, avoid at all costs

Saw this at a theater in NYC at the Manhattan Film Festival, where it won Best Feature. It's great. A van of actors arrive at a castle, where they immediately transform into an amazing production of Hamlet. So it's a play within a play within a movie. And it really works as a film. The actors speak Elizabethan English so clearly and without artifice that you barely notice it's not fully modern prose. It's exciting as a murder/revenge film, with or without Shakespeare's prose. Run time is two hours, not four, so the text has been cut very intelligently but every word is the original text. The actors are first rate and there's lots of doubling of roles, as Shakespeare had to do with his small company. The film also moves seamlessly between the actors and their roles (you see the actors on break between each act of the play). Bravo to the director and cinematographer.
