Reviews for The Abominable Dr. Phibes
This one gave me nightmares when I first saw it in 1972. Okay, so I'm a whimp but the creepy camp is cool.
Vincent Price was an actor who never gave anything than his best possible performance at any given time.
A wonderful horror outing for Vincent Price; a genre film with wit and style as well as goosebumps.
The insane storyline is just what you would expect from a deliriously appealing Vincent Price horror flick.
done in a comic spirit that makes what might have been repulsive into the merely creepy bordering on laugh-inducing.
Director Fuest brings an enormous sense of art-deco style and grand guingol humor to the affair ...
If Se7en and Hannibal are grand opera, The Abominable Dr. Phibes is Gilbert & Sullivan.
