Reviews for Dr. Phibes Rises Again
With Phibes now nominally the hero, the audience is ... invited to identify and laugh along with him as he polishes off everyone in his way.
...falls prey to the familiar Curse of the Sequel -- it's a noticeably lesser, lazier work.
The bizarre murders devised are more repelling than scary or smartly done.
