- Synopsis:
Nine killed her, nine shall die, nine eternities in doom! Horror legend Vincent Price (The Fall of the House of Usher, Theatre of Blood) is Dr. Phibes, former musician, current murderer. Seeking revenge from the medical staff that left his wife for dead, he sets about knocking them off one-by-one in a series of elaborate murders based upon a Ten Plagues of Egypt. Death by bats, by boils, by blood and more await the nurse and surgeons who failed to save the life of the beloved Victoria Regina Phibes! A camp classic, 'The Abominable Dr. Phibes' sets itself apart from the seventies horror crowd with its knowing humour and art deco sets, and also prefigures the Saw movies with its increasingly fiendish set of murder devices. Pairing the original film with sequel 'Dr. Phibes Rises Again', The Complete Dr. Phibesprovides viewers with a double diabolical dose of macabre thrills and black comedy. - Actors:

The Abominable Dr. Phibes, 4 star camp British horror from early 1970s - The Complete Dr. Phibes review by PV
Not sure why this film is listed twice - look up THE ABOMINABLE DR PHIBES to see several reviews - this is the same film. Maybe this was the US release? Who knows?
