Title: Death was never so amusing
Review: This dark comedy focuses on a deformed doctor (Vincent Price) who is duplicating the plagues from the bible to exact revenge on the medical personel who could not save his wife years ago. This is a strange but enjoyable film as we watch the Doctor equally enjoy balllroom dancing and giving out death to those that wronged him. Virginia North is like a rose with thorns as Vulnavia, the assistant to Dr.Phibes. The sets are very colorful and the doctor's lair really helps to show the contrast between his overblown persona and the drabness of the world around him. The film also movs along very well and really holds your attention. This film is followed by the slightly superior Dr. Phibes rises again.
