Blu B @RT43513976 1 day ago In a way even though this one isn't anywhere as focused or cohesive as the first. It still achieves a very fitting accomplishment of matching enough of the spirit of the first to be a Cult Movie still. There are some gorgous surreal images here that only could come out in the 70's. Price isn't bad here but he isn't given enough focus to match his performance in the first. The biggest problems here is the subpar editing and pacing. The film will alternate between very bizarre and original kills in the second half and some surreal images that are gorgous and you can't look away from. But than it just gets soooo jumpy and hard to follow at times along with going through long stretches where it gets sooooo boring as well even for barely being 90 minutes. We jump around almost relentlessly between Price, the villian, and the detectives. Sometimes it's so bad where Price just appears out of nowhere like a magician to kill people and other people just globe trot instantly. It's just not clear See more

Robert P @Superbad Sep 10, 2026 Not as good as the first Movie! See more

Steven M @RT67981172 Jun 27, 2025 I didn’t care for the two Phibes films, but I recommend the superior Theater of Blood instead. See more

CodyZamboni Z @CodyZamboni Nov 18, 2024 Watchable, but not as good as the original, Instead of revenge, Phibes more concerned with the task of bringing his wife back to life, with ancient Egyptian help, The novelty has worn thin, and there are annoying abrupt lurches in plot ,due to last minute studio cutting, Price still works his magic, and most of the supporting cast is back, With Fiona Lewis sparking the most appeal See more

Dallas H @RT53171010 Nov 17, 2024 Dr. Phibes Rises Again is not as campy fun as its predecessor. But it is still an enjoyable flick to watch. See more

David W @Sternhammer Sep 17, 2023 A great horror comedy and a worthy sequel to the classic Abominable Dr Phibes. It's lacks the plotting basis regarding the re-enactment of the seven curses but still manages to come up with some inventive murders. This time though Phibes has a worthy adversary played by the excellent Robert Quarry. As you'd expect, Vincent Price is again superb as Phibes and returning director Robert Fuest embues proceedings with a suitably sinister yet camp quality. The star studded supporting cast provide additional quality to what is already a classy production. Another hugely enjoyable horror comedy gem, a pity there wasn't to be another outing for Dr Phibes.
