İhsan Gedik, an influential figure in Turkish cult cinema, made his mark with a series of notable performances in the 1970s and 1980s. He appears in Hannah, Queen of the Vampires (1973), where he navigates the eerie world of vampiric lore, and White Fire (1984), a gritty tale of revenge and obsession. His roles in Cellat (1975) and The Angel of Vengeance: The Female Hamlet (1976) further solidify his presence in the exploitation genre, contributing to the rich tapestry of cult films that SassyFlix celebrates.
The Angel of Vengeance: The Female Hamlet
Hamlet returns home from drama school in America, after the cold-blooded assassination of her father by her uncle, who has married Hamlet’s mother. After seeing her father’s ghost, Hamlet decides to feign insanity, in order to get to the truth. Hamlet is now female and so are Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Instead of taking place in England, this version takes at the beach where everyone plays volleyball in bikinis. An expressionist and surrealist adaptation of Hamlet from director Metin Erksan.
