DVD Reviews of The Abominable Dr. Phibes/Dr. Phibes Rises Again!
DVD Review: Just Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've seen these two movies many years ago, in theater, and they still good today in DVD. Sort of black humor. Just Great!DVD Review: Abominable Fun
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD features 2 classic Vincent Price films. The Abominable Dr Phibes and Dr Phibes rises again. Both made in the early 70s.
The first, The Abominable Dr Phibes features Vincent Price revenging his dead wife by killing the medical staff responseable for her death in a variety of spectacular ways. This black comedy is very camp and loads of fun.
Highly recommended.
The second is the sequel, Dr Phibes Rises Again, this time after having risen, Dr Phibes takes the body of his wife to Egypt in search of a mysterious river that promises eternal life. Again any one who gets in the way suddenly dies in some of the most bizzare ways, which include being stuffed in a six foot bottle and cast into the sea.
Not as good as the first, but still loads of fun.
DVD Review: Cult, Campy, Classic...
Summary: 4 Stars
While not Vincent Price's best efforts, these two movies ARE two of his most memorable. Like 'The Raven', they are more comedy and satire than horror {except maybe for the pre-teen set), and might best be described as WEIRD. This is not bad: they manage to avoid being cliche, and the sequel (Return of...) is not just a re-hash of the first (Abominable...), managing to work in many subtle puns (look for the book 'A Turn of the Screw' in one scene...).
Picture quality is not bad on this SIDE A/B DVD, and a price under $12 is right for this no-frills two-fer.
DVD Review: Abominable and More Abominable
Summary: 5 Stars
The Abominable Dr. Phibes and Dr. Phibes Rises Again are two great classics from that early-70's British Nicholson/Arkoff film group. Aside from being fairly cheesy, these two do a good job of not taking themselves too seriously and they are strewn with that dry Brit humour that was so popular at that time. Reasonably well done, these films are not bad enough to make it to MST-3K -- and of course Vincent Price is delicious as he hams it up just enough to let the audience know that his tongue is firmly lodged in his cheek. The production values are good and the video transfer is what you'd expect for an older film. Be nice if it were in stereo, but I just can't imagine anyone forking over the cash to restore the film and rework the soundtrack. These are good films to watch on a rainy Sunday afternoon! DVD Review: Price at his finest
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie on cable, enjoyed it so munch that I brought the dvd. This movie got everything Price, humor, and a creepy backround. the best thing about this movie is the music score.
