The premise
The eminent Dr. Phibes awakens from a decade of suspended animation and heads to Egypt with the corpse of his dead wife, which he intends to resurrect by murdering people in strange and heinous ways.
Horror Vault's take
The diabolical Dr. Phibes returns from self-imposed slumber with a singular, consuming obsession: restoring life to his beloved wife by journeying to the sands of Egypt. Standing in his way is a rival who seeks the same ancient secret of immortality, setting the stage for a deadly, elaborately staged clash of wills. Vincent Price commands every scene with gleeful menace, delivering baroque villainy wrapped in campy, Gothic splendor. Fans of the original will find the sequel doubles down on outrageous set-pieces and mordant wit.
