Product Details

Product Description

Amazon.ca

This unusually beautiful horror classic features Vincent Price in the title role of Dr. Anton Phibes, a genius who specializes in organ music, theology, and concocting bizarre deaths for anyone who wrongs him. Discovering why is half the fun, so for now let's just say that Phibes is a little mad and very, very angry. With his assistant, the lovely, silent Vulnavia, Phibes begins cutting a gory swath through London's medical community, with the dogged Inspector Trout hot on his tail. Phibes contains many pleasures--exquisite art direction and a dark sense of humor among them--but the real treat is in watching an old pro like Price at work. Whether he's playing his organ, staring down a victim, or drinking through his neck, Price is at the top of his game. He mixes dark menace with wry comic touches, revealing both Phibes's maniacal obsession and offhanded confidence in his own genius. Settle in for an evening of elegant gore and if an attractive, mute deliverywoman comes to the door, whatever you do--don't answer! --Ali Davis

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Old Testament wrath Jun 27 2006
By bernie TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:DVD
In the spirit of "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth" fumbling doctors get what is coming to them.

While Dr. Anton Phibes (Vincent Price) was out of the country a nine person medical team fumbled an operation on his wife. Dr. Phibes dies in a car crash. So why these are doctors dying and is there a pattern?

Dr. Vesalius (Joseph Cotton), who lead the team as chief surgeon, takes part in the discovery and attempted prevention of a plot of biblical ok Talmudic proportion.

Campy fun with a gory attitude his is destined to be a cult classic.

This movie gives new meaning to the term phib'er arts.

1.0 out of 5 stars DON'T BOTHER WITH THIS DVD Jun 19 2004
By Nicholas
Format:DVD
MGM Midnite Movies, not to put too fine a point on it, stink! I bought this DVD at Best Buy and it didn't play. I returned it and got another one - and it didn't play. I tried a third time - and it didn't play. They actually had to give me my money back. So, then I see it at Amazon.Com. I bought it. It didn't play. I exchanged it, it didn't play. I finally had to send it back to get a refund. Is anyone awake at the quality control at MGM?

I have not problems with the movie - I think they are great (incidentally, the Dr. Phibes Rises Again has the same problem), it's the DVD's that are bad.

I thought it might be my DVD player - nope - nothing wrong with it. None of them played on any DVD player (we even tried ones at Best Buy).

from the beginning shot to somewhere over the rainbow,
this highly enjoyable film can be described as witty, beautiful, hip, and perverse.
it is also the very much missed vincent price's most original and stylish work.
a great midnight movie indeed
