January 21, 2011Not nearly as memorable as the original, but not all that bad. There aren't quite as many death sequences in this film as there are in the original, which makes for long boring moments in between them. Some of Price's overdubs stick out like a sore thumb this time around, as we... read more

December 29, 2010A good sequel to Dr. Phibes, it's just as cool as the first movie, and Price gives another great performance as the good doctor. I enjoyed this movie, it's fun.

October 7, 2008Dr. Fibes goes to Egypt!
More amazing costumes, sets and cheese then you can shake a dagger at!

July 10, 2007A great sequel! Dr. Phibes is back, stowed-away aboard an ocean liner, and he's got more gorey tricks up his sleeve for a group of scientists in Egypt, with imaginatively themed death sequences. A lot of fun. It's got great energy! You can tell Vincent Price is giving it his love.

December 5, 2006Not as good as the first, but I'm sure a very effective drinking game could be made out of this movie.

December 20, 2010What were they thinking!? This kind of camp is not my style at all! Vincent Price only speaks through voice over and overacts horribly with gestures to indicate what he means as if they were going to leave his character silent. The torture devices may have inspired the dangero... read more

October 15, 2010An attempted clone of the first film that loses much of the original's charm. Enjoyable but forgettable -- in Egypt.

December 19, 2009The good doctor apparently didnt kill himself at the end of the first one, as he has awoken himself after a period of suspended animation. He is now intent on reviving his dead wife, and heads to Egypt in order to use some ancient techniques to do so. Really not as clever (Egypti... read more

...falls prey to the familiar Curse of the Sequel -- it's a noticeably lesser, lazier work. Full Review

The bizarre murders devised are more repelling than scary or smartly done. Full Review
