I have to say from 6:29 in, if I had the power to call forth a "Familiar" like the timeless beauty of Ms. V. Kemp, who played "Vulnavia", sweet Victoria would just have to rest in peace. Also I think the narration done by Mr. Price was as masterful as can be, you could empathize with the undying love he had for Victoria. His undying love for her reminds of the Song of Songs 8:6,7 "Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned."

At any rate a masterful performance.

Truthfully,

This seems like a script that he was just having fun making. The whole thing was tongue in cheek and okay, I know it's screwed up to laugh at murder . . . but how can you not laugh at how playful he and his assistant are? Seriously? Almost died myself laughing sometimes.

But I do really prefer his Edger Allen Poe performances to this. Those are all brilliant and witty, and just excellent in every sense. I'm working on collecting them and I can never get enough of watching them :) Pit and the Pendulum, House of Usher, House of Wax, Masque of the Red Death . . .Total Genius!

What an enjoyable flick! Vincent Price definitely made the world a better place. This being one of his many great movies. Some vile murder always seem to be followed by that wacky British humor. Needless to say you should be a fan of this genre & era to truly appreciate this movie.

Love the campy, dark humor. Vincent Price was the best at this. The various murders are ingenious.

That has got to be the creepiest use of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" I have ever heard. Dr. Phibes is one of my favorite characters. Everyone loves a feel good ending. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

Dr. Phibes Rises Again! is Great fun. Vincent Price steals the show as expected. The movie has lots of dark humor and a few exceptionally grotesque moments.
