Corny, tongue-in-cheek and fun sequel to Abominable Doctor Phibes in similar style to this previous entry, dealing with the disfigured Doctor Phibes : Vincent Price who had a freak car accident that killed his wife : Caroline Munro , and he is going on his vengeance on those he thinks responsible for her death . As he emerges from the depths of his grandiose mansion and with his massive cinema organ , subsequently Phibes is transporting the dead corpse of his deceased spouse that keeps preserved towards Egypt to get the eternal life .
Yet another nice follow-up in which the demented revenger Doctor Phibes again planning and executing new and twisted murders , as the members of an Egyptian expedition shall each perish by diiferent surprising manners . It is a cheesy fun with black humor, a bit of gore ,and whose influence cannot overstated. It has delightful scenarios including Thirties' settings and other weird decors . Vincent Price is awesome as the evil genius who seeks vengeance as well as keep preserved his wife . After The Abominable Doctor Phibes and Doctor Phibes rises again, Vincent Price stood in England playing various horror roles as Madhouse, Witchfinder General and Theatre of Blood. He is very finely assisted by a good British support cast, such as Hugh Griffith , Gerarld Sim, Peter Jeffreys, Peter Cushing , Beryl Reid, Terry Thomas , Fiona Lewis , John Thaw and Caroline Munro later a star of such fantasy spectaculars as The Golden voyage of Sinbad .
It displays glimmer and brilliant cinematography by Alex Thomson, including colorful escenarios in Art Noveau, Art Deco or Modernism style. Adding a strange and synthesizer musical score by John Gale. Well financed by usual American producers James H Nicholson and Samuel Z Arkoff. The motion picture was well directed by Robert Fuest , though it has some flaws and gaps . He was a good craftsman who made acceptable films such as : Devil's rain , As soon the darkness , The Final Programme , Just like a woman, Wuthering Heights , Afrodita , among others. Rating : 6/10. The flick will appeal to Vincent Price fans.
