Dr Phibes Rises Again is an American 1972 comedy horror movie presented on Blu-ray.

Flesh crawls! Blood curdles!

This sequel to the stylish 1971 melodrama The Abominable Dr. Phibes once more stars Vincent Price in the title role. Long believed dead, Phibes arises from a state of suspended animation, in search of the means to bring his deceased wife back to the land of the living. With the aid of the enigmatic, never-speaking Vulnavia (Valli Kemp), Phibes follows an Egyptian expedition, seeking out an ancient elixir of life and killing everyone who gets in his way.

Critic Reviews:

• " [Vincent] Price is priceless, virtually the last of the great histrionic school (Barrymore, Laughton et al) who can serve up a mound of ham on wry and manage to make it perfectly palatable. " – Dick Lochte

• " With Phibes now nominally the hero, the audience is … invited to identify and laugh along with him as he polishes off everyone in his way. " – Steve Biodrowski

• " Vincent Price, as Phibes, delivers one of his priceless theatric performances, and Quarry is a properly ruthless rival who nearly matches Phibes in knowledge and cunning. " – Variety Staff
