Customer Reviews of Dr. Phibes Rises Again!
Badder and better Unlike Vincent Price's the Fly and Dr. Goldfoot, this time the second one is better. The deformed and demented doctor is back to try and revive his beloved wife (Caroline Munro in an uncredited, non-speaking role). Instead of the revenge plot from the first film, this one has Phibes in a race with Biederbeck (Robert Quarry) to see who can find way to the river of life. This dark comedy is just a little better than the first due to a more interesting plot and a stronger supporting cast, although Peter Cushing only has a couple of lines and is still billed third. Price seems to really enjoy himself in the Phibes role and Robert Quarry is a very worthy advisary. In the late 60's -early 70's, Vincent Price did some really weak films like Scream and Scream again, the Oblong box and Cry of the Banshee that gave him top billing but gave him very little to do. So, it was great that he got to revive his horror career by doing some fine films like the the two Dr. Phibes films and Theater of Blood.
Not As Good As The Original, But Still Great!
Vincent Price returns as deranged Dr. Anton Phibes, but unfortunately the original writers don't return with him. Director Robert Fuest is back, this time Writing AND Directing, but the result isn't nearly as clever as the original was.
That said, this movie is STILL head and shoulders above most other movies of this type.
After a brief recap of the first film, we're up and rolling: Phibes is back, and is seeking the Egyptian River of Life, to revive his deceased wife (Played, sort of, by the lovely Carolyn Munro), and grant them both eternal life. The competition is Biederbeck, who is seeking the River for reasons of his own. The two engage in some entertaining one-upmanship, and Phibes dispatches his opponents with his usual creative flair. Price is GREAT in the lead role; he's obviously having a ball. Just check out the scene where he chokes on a fish bone....
Robert Quarry is a good foil, and Fiona Lewis is lovely as his put-upon Fiancee. Valli Kemp assumes the role of the Dr.'s silent assistant, Vulnavia, and she fills her part quite nicely, luring one unsuspecting doof to a stinging death.
Price fans will love this movie!
Give It To Me Straight Doctor, I Can Take It!
Yes, the good doctor (Vincent Price) has risen again, just as diabolical, just as obsessed with his beautiful, dead wife Victoria. He is now trying to get her to Egypt, where he plans on taking her down the secret "river of life" for her complete resurrection! Accompanied by the ever silent Vulnavia (Valli Kemp), Phibes must compete with archeologist / eternal-life seeker Beiderbeck (Robert "Count Yorga" Quarry) in a race to the land of the pharaohs for the expected murder-fest, and ultimate showdown. Lots of laughs and killings-a-plenty in this near perfect Phibes phollow up! Highly recommended...
