Amazon.co.uk Review

The title says it all--the abominable Dr Phibes Rises Again and he's as ruthless as ever. No longer content with merely avenging his wife's death, Phibes is now bent on her resurrection. With his mute assistant, Vulnavia, he sets off for Egypt, meting out bizarrely elaborate deaths--everything from clockwork snakes to a particularly severe exfoliation treatment--to all who stand in his 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. Watch out for cameos from a host of familiar faces, including Peter Cushing, Terry Thomas and Beryl Reid. --Ali Davis

Synopsis

Evil Doctor Phibes returns from a decade of suspended animation and is still looking for an elixir to revive his long dead wife. Sequel to "THE ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES".

5.0 out of 5 stars Phibes in Egypt, 16 Sep 2009
By Susan Belcher "Su B" (St Helens, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Dr Anton Phibes (Vincent Price) wakes from his self-imposed "curse of darkness" to discover that in the 3 years he has been in the state of suspended animation his home on Maldine Square has been demolished and the vital papyrus has been stolen by his rival Darius Biederbeck (Robert Quarry). The papyrus shows the gateway to the source of the elixir of life.

Phibes must recover the papyrus to resurrect his beloved wife, Victoria (Caroline Monro). Biederbeck is also looking for the elixir of life. It becomes a race between Phibes and Biederbeck and his team (which includes John Thaw) to get to the elixir first.

Returning as Inspector Trout is Peter Jeffrey; also back in this film is Terry Thomas (Dr Longstreet - Abominable Dr Phibes) as the Shipping Agent Lombado.

The original Vulnavia (Virgina North) was pregnant at the time of filming so she was replaced by Villi Kemp.

Dr Phibes Rises Again was the second in what was supposed to be a trilogy, but the 3rd film was never made. This, as it turned out, was the last film that Vincent Price made for American International Pictures (AIP). AIP had decided to replace him as their main horror lead actor with Robert Quarry.

Peter Cushing (who makes a guest appearance as Ship's Captain) was supposed to have the larger role of Dr Vesalius (played by Joseph Cotton) in the Abominable Dr Phibes but had to step-down due to his wife's serious illness. He was offered this small part as a consolation.

This is a cracking film, though I prefer the first one. When you think that he was only able to use facial gestures and body language in conjunction with a pre-recorded soundtrack Vincent Price's performance becomes more amazing.

This isn't quite up to the level of the Abominable Dr Phibes, but it's very close.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dr Phibes Rises Again - A sequel that matches the original, 12 Oct 2009
By Victor Tugelbend (Hull, England) - See all my reviews
  
In 1971 the original `Abominable Dr Phibes' was released, and defined the genre of revenge psycho killer black comedy. It set the bar incredibly high for any following films, but the team responsible rose to the challenge and made this sequel in the following year. Unusually, the sequel is as good, or perhaps better than, the original.

After 3 years asleep, Phibes is awoken by his rather ingenious alarm clock. He sets about finding the secret of eternal life in Egypt (on behalf of his beloved wife), and merrily slaughtering anyone foolish enough to get in his way with a series of wonderfully inventive methods, involving clockwork snakes, grit blasting, scorpions, eagles, and my personal favourite, a distinctly un-orthopaedic bed.

Vying against Phibes is Beiderbeck, played by Robert Quarry, who also needs to find the secret river, for reasons of his own.

Vincent Price once again shines as Phibes, as evil genius psycho killers go, he's one of the best. Even though he's evil, he's so likeable that you really end up rooting for him at the end.

The film is once again a mix of grisly death and destruction, leavened with lashings of black humour (mainly provided by the two policemen on his trail and totally out of their depth), and a rip roaringly good 90 minutes entertainment.

This is decent budget DVD release. The film is presented in the original 1.85:1 widescreen, with a mono soundtrack. There has been no remastering, but the picture is nice and clean with a minimum of artefacts. Extras are limited to the original theatrical trailer, which is quite interesting.

Recommended to all fans of black comedy and evil genius revenge horror films.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the original !, 16 Nov 2007
By Karel Bata (London (a posh bit)) - See all my reviews
Better by far in fact. If you enjoyed The Abominable Dr. Phibes and are thinking of seeing this, then hesitate no more! The excellent Robert Fuest delivers the goods again with style and panache.

And if you liked the Phibes movies, track down Fuest's 'And Soon The Darkness' (scripted by Terry Nation and Brian Clemens in top form).
