Movie Reviews of The Abominable Dr. Phibes
Movie Review: Ancient history
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a G.I. in the early '70s. In the enlistedmen's club on our forward airbase every Saturday PM, 100-200 drunken sailors and marines would gather and watch either Return or Abominable and cheer when someone got slaughtered or Phibes' well-endowed assistant appeared.
I don't know if I should watch it again. It's probably not as good in a contemporary setting.
Summary of The Abominable Dr. Phibes
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 DavisArt House & International DVD Video
