No longer content with merely avenging his wife's death, Phibes is now bent on her resurrection. Phibes and his mute assistant, Vulnavia, set off for Egypt, meting out bizarrely elaborate deaths--everything from clockwork snakes to a particularly severe exfoliation treatment--to all who stand in their way. This time Phibes has two competitors to race against, the trusty Inspector Trout and the renowned archaeologist Biederbeck, who has his own reasons for chasing Phibes. Like its predecessor, Dr. Phibes Rises Again adds dark wit and imaginative art direction to the mix. Vincent Price is once again in high form, playing his organ with swooping arms and adding dry comic touches with a delicately cocked eyebrow. A worthy successor to the classic original. --Ali Davis Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not bad, but where are the witty corpse-making methods from Dr. Phibes' abominable past?Melt a package of Velveeta, add a can of jalapeno slices and you'll have a good dip for corn chips. The problem with this sequel to The Abominable Dr. Phibes is that this time Phibes ain't got no jalapenos. With Dr. Phibes Rises Again we have Phibes (Vincent Price) in Egypt, along with his preserved wife, Victoria, his silent assistant, the well-built Vulnavia, and his swinging automaton band. Can he find the headwaters of the River of Life, hidden under an ancient mountain within a lavish underground ...

Phibes is back with his bag full of curses in search of the river of Styx to hopefully revive his wife who has been embalmed for years. But now Phibes has an arch rival who is also in search of the river of Styx for his own use. But thanks to the bag full of curses, Phibes has means of protecting what he finds. We are not so treated with the wonderful score of music ...

Read More Rating:  - The Camp is HighDespite the return of the director Robert Fuest and star Vincent Price, plus a handful of supporting players from "The Abominable Dr. Phibes" (including Hugh Griffith and Terry-Thomas in different roles), this Phibes go-around threatens to spin out of control at every turn. In the first one, the camp had a kind of magnificence to it -- Phibes' graceful dance with Vulnavia, for instance -- while here it comes perilously close to descending to the level of a "Carry On" film. That is not to say it isn't ... Read More Rating: - Back from The Grave...After three years in necromantic hibernation, Dr, Anton Phibes resurrects to the next step with a passion to actually revive his belovedVictoria, and with the aid of the silently enchantingVulnavia, sets off for Egypt to bring her to life by using the mysteries of the ancient pharaohs, and finding the fabled river of eternal life. He awakes to discover his total environment demolished and a crucial piece of papyrus stolen by one "Darius Biederbeck", who also seeks immortality, yet Phibes' incisive ingenuity ... Read More |
