Dr Phibes Rises Again!
Long believed dead, Anton Phibes arises from a state of suspended animation,
in search of the means to bring his deceased wife back to the land of
the living. With the aid of
the enigmatic, never-speaking Vulnavia, Phibes follows an
Egyptian expedition, seeking out an ancient elixir of life and killing
everyone who gets in his way. In the original film, all of the doctor's
grisly but ingenious murders were motivated, and all were linked by a
Seven Deadly Plagues throughline. In the sequel, Phibes kills whenever
he feels like it, and utilizes an impressive array of death-dealing
contraptions. This marks one of the only films ever made
to wrap with Vincent Price singing "Somewhere, Over the Rainbow".
