there really an art to mr vincent price, we set around this past wked watching him in hie early yr up unto his late movie made. we enjoy so far the movies we've gotten to,and my children from a new star. I'd like to be home this wked, but I can't :( work draws me away.
but with hulu I'm hoping maybe to finish...K

A lot of youngsters aren't going to get this movie- the campiness/ gruesomeness, The Biba Style, the whole Vincent Price body of work that this is such a great departure from. How many times do actors get to be voice over animated versions of themselves? I regret that #1 wasn't up for a double feature. Talk about creatively gory ways to go! The Abominable one is so stylish. Never have found out who did sets and costumes, but even as a small child taken to see this is the theatre I remember being enormously impressed. It's held up well over the years in a better than Star Treck campy style. Valdevia's chiffon evening dresses are high end high fashion of the day, while Price in the cream satin robes, gloves, and cravat is amazingly foppish with out seeming effeminate. Very few men could pull off the Biba meets Louis Cinquante style. I've also always wondered if Mr Price was unwell but needed to work? The shot sheets, doubles, and technique of voicing himself over are ingenious for making a classic with an actor in a limiting situation. A life long favorite! So glad to see Dr Phibes again.

I suppose, when it was made, it was a serious horror, but I think, that to truly enjoy it now, you have it take it as a comedy horror film. It is wonderfully terrible, or terribly wonderful. I have not decided as of yet. The horrifying Dr. Phibes has done it again! Gruesome, and what I suppose was then considered to be psychologically disturbing. It has a wonderful feel, the mood of the film. It is, I have concluded, wonderfully terrible. In a cheesy, 1972 kind of way, but wonderfully terrible none the less. Liked it.

I am shocked at Vincent Price for being in this film. It just didn't grab my interest enough to finish watching. I detest over-acting.

A great sequel to follow up the Phirst Phibes Philm...AND the other great thing, is Price singing "Over Thr Rainbow" has been put back into this version. It was originally cut out of previous American releases due to copyright issues.Too bad they never made it to the Third installment (yes there was one planed).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Phibes_Rises_AgainHas details for the "third" movie which never made it to production.

It was interesting to see a young John Thaw as one of the victims, he will appear years later as Chief Inspector Morse on the PBS series "Mystery" which Vincent Price was the host.

This movie is a fun flick. If you see the original, you will enjoy this sequel more. I like the original better, but this one is good too...I do get kinda into the Egyptian theme of this flick...that is the best part.
