The movie plays kind of like a campy version of Seven, except British. And John Doe is played by Vincent Price, whose playing the titular character somewhere between Dr. Evil and The Phantom of the Opera. Totally bonkers and totally worth a watch.
Wonderfully engaging pseudo-horror classic. I should note that I fell in love with this film at Adam Rifkin's insistence. A pre-cursor to the modern "torture porn", it plays more like an early EC comic than a horror film, which I love. It's also one of Vincent Price's finest p... read more
Dr. Phibes gets his revenge in very interesting ways, this is an interesting horror movie starring the great Vincent Price, and if you like horror movies starring him, you need to see this one.
Supervillian Dr. Phibes (Vincent Price) takes revenge on the doctors who failed to save his wife's life by killing them in bizarre ways. Enormously entertaining comic book on film; Phibes' hideout, which is done up art-deco style, is one of the greatest villain's lairs ever crea... read more

Not scary at all but an imaginative story and definitely worth a watch. Very British filmmaking with a very British cast... apart from Vincent Price that is.
It's a classic horror movie with a wacky Doctor killing off people one by one in VERY original methods, themed after the ancient plagues. It's cool and somewhat gorey. Definitely fun to watch for its weird humour.
