Summary: Fiendish Phibes is unleashed on the world again !!
Review: Vincent Price easily deserved the title of king of the B-grade horror flicks. He obviously relished playing larger than life villains and the merciless Dr. Phibes is one of his best roles !After fleeing from the law to his secret crypt at the end of "The Abominable Dr. Phibes", Phibes (Price) returns to again seek out a way to return his deceased wife to the living and deal with interfering interlopers along the way too ! His quest takes him to Egypt in search of the river of life that can provide the answer to his dreams..... The second Phibes film is even more polished than the first, with Robert Quarry providing a fine adversary to Phibes as the cunning archaelogist Beiderbeck, himself living on borrowed time. Additionally, there is a wonderful support cast with such luminaries as Peter Cushing, Terry Thomas & Hugh Griffiths adding more finesse to this production. And keeping in line with the Biblical plagues & gory comeuppances aspect of the first Phibes production, those persons stupid enough to challenge the evil doctor soon meet their doom by a variety of grisly and ingenious means !! A campy, thrilling and entertaining film that has not diminshed in enjoyment on each subsequent viewing....and the transfer to DVD has kept the colors and art deco mood of the film very well. A definite recommendation to any cult film fans collection...both Phibes adventures are grand entertainment !

Summary: Fun movie
Review: Vincent Price is wonderful as the nasty Dr. Phibes. Anything with an Ancient Egyptian theme is fine with me. May the Neturu forever bless Mr. Price.

Summary: Not As Good As The Original, But Still Great!
Review: Vincent Price returns as deranged Dr. Anton Phibes, but unfortunately the original writers don't return with him. Director Robert Fuest is back, this time Writing AND Directing, but the result isn't nearly as clever as the original was.
That said, this movie is STILL head and shoulders above most other movies of this type. After a brief recap of the first film, we're up and rolling: Phibes is back, and is seeking the Egyptian River of Life, to revive his deceased wife (Played, sort of, by the lovely Carolyn Munro), and grant them both eternal life. The competition is Biederbeck, who is seeking the River for reasons of his own. The two engage in some entertaining one-upmanship, and Phibes dispatches his opponents with his usual creative flair. Price is GREAT in the lead role; he's obviously having a ball. Just check out the scene where he chokes on a fish bone.... Robert Quarry is a good foil, and Fiona Lewis is lovely as his put-upon Fiancee. Valli Kemp assumes the role of the Dr.'s silent assistant, Vulnavia, and she fills her part quite nicely, luring one unsuspecting doof to a stinging death. Price fans will love this movie!

Summary: Excellent sequel to "The Abominable Dr. Phibes"
Review: Vincent Price returns as Dr. Anton Phibes is this competent sequel, which has Phibes traveling to Egypt to get an elixer that will bring his deceased wife back to life. Phibe's antagonist Biederbeck (Robert Quarry) is also in search of the miracle drug. Phibes proceeds the eliminate the competition by picking off Biederbeck's crew with a grisly relish. Lots of fun that does justice to the original.

Summary: Give It To Me Straight Doctor, I Can Take It!
Review: Yes, the good doctor (Vincent Price) has risen again, just as diabolical, just as obsessed with his beautiful, dead wife Victoria. He is now trying to get her to Egypt, where he plans on taking her down the secret "river of life" for her complete resurrection! Accompanied by the ever silent Vulnavia (Valli Kemp), Phibes must compete with archeologist / eternal-life seeker Beiderbeck (Robert "Count Yorga" Quarry) in a race to the land of the pharaohs for the expected murder-fest, and ultimate showdown. Lots of laughs and killings-a-plenty in this near perfect Phibes phollow up! Highly recommended...

Summary: oh no...you better watch out!!
Review: You have to have seen the first film, "The Abominable Dr. Phibes", to really understand the "good" doctor's madness in his quest to find the river of life in Egypt. Phibes is totally dedicated to restoring life to his beloved wife, Victoria. So dedicated that he kills people who get in his way. In the first film he murders a lot of doctors and in this one he kills archeologists who are working for Biederbeck {he's played by Robert Quarry, the man who AIP was secretly planning to become their new horror star because Vincent was getting old and AIP felt that audience would turn away from an old man}. Biederbeck has a secret and he too is kept alive with serum but unlike Dr. Phibes, Biederbeck wants to find the youth river for himself. Phibes finds this apalling and he tricks Biederbeck into giving him back a key that unlocks the gate blocking the river of youth (it's in the bottom of a pyramid and resembles more like a stream than a river). Phibes paddles himself and the dead Victoria through the gates of life as Biederbeck slumps over watching the two sail off. Biederbeck's wife says something like "it's not the end of the world" and then we see Biederbeck turn into his true 110 year old self! The police force are once again on hand for comic relief (Inspector Trout and his superior are hilarious). This sequel is just as great as the 1971 original.
