Vincent Price's 100th film!

This is a fairly well done film with some comedic laughs at times. I think I would have probably giving it a higher rating but I like it better when Vincent Price actually talks by moving his mouth, not through some odd acoustic thing hooked up to his neck. However, it is part of the story so I accept it. Phibes and his wife were in a car crash and everyone thinks Phibes was burned to death. A group of Doctors try to save his wife but she dies on the table. Years later the group of Doctors that worked on Phibes wife start turning up dead and no one knows why at first. The police soon figure out that it is Phibes avenging his wife by using the Old Testament Pharoah curses as inspiration.

The thing I like about this movie is the bad guy wins and the mood at times is pretty creepy, especially the girl assisting Phibes, Vulnavia. The odd thing about this movie is there isn't a single word uttered until 10 minutes in and Vincent Price doesn't speak until after 32 minutes! He does pull off a pretty evil villian though, even though he doesn't talk much until the end. There's a big negative about the promotion I have and that's the fact that they put the climax of the movie on the friggn' poster artwork. We don't find out what Phibes looks like until the very end and it's suppose to be all shocking, but his ugly face is on the damn poster so it kind of ruins it.

7/10
