Movie review
Like all mad geniuses, the evil Doctor Phibes (Price) relates to reality in a unique way. Desperate for revenge against a medical group he believes caused his wife’s illness, he invokes the Old Testament and finds the inspiration he needs in the seven plagues of Egypt to eliminate respected doctors. A perfect blend of horror and comedy, the film is filled with dark humor as deadly devices created by the evil Phibes destroy people.
