Genres & Description

Action Comedy Crime Horror

7.2 / 10

Doctors are being murdered in a bizarre manner: bats, bees, killer frog masks, etc., which represent the nine Biblical plagues. The crimes are orchestrated by the organ-playing, demented Dr .Phibes - from his base; replete with a clockwork orchestra with the help of his mute assistant. The detective is stumped until he finds that all of the doctors being killed assisted a Dr. Vesalius on an unsuccessful operation involving the wife of Dr. Phibes, but he couldn't be the culprit, could he? He was killed in a car crash upon learning of his wife's death...

I don't know of many Vincent Price movies where he didn't have an attractive female in the film. If you like damsels in your film then you're bound to love Vincent Price. - @Monday, January 8, 2018 2:37 AM

A movie as funny as it is chilling. It makes you wish all murderers were as stylish as Dr. Phibes! - @Tuesday, October 7, 2014 10:05 PM

Wonderful review! I remember going to see this movie when it came out in the theaters. My brother and I were huge Vincent Price fans. Still are and he has got to be on the top tier of horror actors of all time. - @Saturday, October 5, 2013 12:23 AM
