  • Writer and critic Kim Newman introduces Dr. Phibes Rises Again. Newman shares fond memories of his early teenage encounters with X-rated horror films, one of the first of which was this gruesome British shocker. Vincent Price reprises his role as a disfigured genius who draws murderous inspiration from Egyptian antiquity.

    Phibes I & II are still two of my top 5 favs. I like I a bit more but II has my favorite line: "What kind of fiend are you? ONE WHO WINS!"

      Because Phibes only ever won. I have been DYING for a reboot or continuation of some sort. A sardonic supervillain who was unstoppable.

    Both Phibes films and Theater of Blood are my favorite Horror movies of all time, Vincent Price and creative kills!

    I first saw Dr. Phibes Rise Again while I was in college. A local station used to show the two Dr. Phibes movies back to back on a show called Scream Theatre beginning at 1:00 AM. My impression of the film was that Dr. Phibes making up excuses to kill people as he went along, unlike the first movie or Theatre of Blood.

    Being a published horror author and lifelong horror fan, I always enjoy seeing Kim. He has contributed so much to the genre. www.alantoner.com

    Note: British film ratings are NOT like American film ratings. An X Certificate is equal to an R Rating and not an X/NC-17 Rating.

    I love Dr. Phibes, but being that I am a professional makeup artist, I can't get past the ridiculous makeup that they had in the film. It was as bad as the worst Halloween mask that you can find .

      Budget, Time Restraints...it was guaranteed to make money, so quality in makeup was not a consideration

      @@princeeverlove I work in the industry so I know that quality is and has always been a consideration which can ruin an otherwise good film. It's WHY they pay me, and not some kid off of the street. The makeup person did a terrible job on this, while if they hired someone else for the same exact money, and the same exact time, it would be 100% better. And also, NO film is guaranteed to make money, especially B grade horror films, of which I have worked on dozens of that very type.
