VHS Movie Reviews of The Abominable Dr. Phibes [VHS]
Movie Review: Vincent Price at his abominable best
Summary: 5 Stars
The Abominable Dr. Phibes has become a cult classic over the years since its release in 1972. It is the quintessential revenge story of a great organist and truly mad genius who very cleverly extracts revenge against the surgical team who operated on his beautiful wife resulting in her untimely death. The art deco setting and the soundtrack are both superb. Fine cast, clever plot, Vincent Price at his horrifying best. Horror movie fans will delight in owning this DVD as a part of their collection.
Summary of The Abominable Dr. Phibes [VHS]
Meet Doctor Phibes: A one-time concert musician who's now an all-time crazed murderer. In this clever, crypt-kicking classic, horror meister Vincent Price plays a diabolical doc seeking the ultimate in revenge with precision creepiness and surgical wit. Watch Dr. Phibes live up to his promise: "Nine killed her, nine shall die, nine eternities in doom! "After a team of surgeons botch his beloved wife's surgery, leaving her for dead, the emotionally distraught Dr. Phibes creatively concocts a fatal prescription for revenge. Using the Good Book as his guide, Phibes unleashes a score of old testament atrocities ? from a plague of locusts to an attack of rats ? on his enemies that climax in what may be one of "the eeriest endings on screen record" (Syracuse Herald-Journal)!This unusually beautiful horror classic features Vincent Price in the title role of Dr. Anton Phibes, a genius who specializes in organ music, theology, and concocting bizarre deaths for anyone who wrongs him. Discovering why is half the fun, so for now let's just say that Phibes is a little mad and very, very angry. With his assistant, the lovely, silent Vulnavia, Phibes begins cutting a gory swath through London's medical community, with the dogged Inspector Trout hot on his tail. Phibes contains many pleasures--exquisite art direction and a dark sense of humor among them--but the real treat is in watching an old pro like Price at work. Whether he's playing his organ, staring down a victim, or drinking through his neck, Price is at the top of his game. He mixes dark menace with wry comic touches, revealing both Phibes's maniacal obsession and offhanded confidence in his own genius. Settle in for an evening of elegant gore and if an attractive, mute deliverywoman comes to the door, whatever you do--don't answer! --Ali Davis
