The Abominable Dr Phibes

Drama, The Wrath of God, and Brussels Sprout liquour. This month we watch the psychedelic Vincent Price masterpiece The Abominable Dr. Phibes. As doctors and nurses are dying all over London in recreations of the Biblica plagues, the answer seems to lie in the graves of the recently deceased Dr. Anton Phibes and his wife. When it came out in 1971, the film was a hit, showing off stars like Price, Terry Thomas, and Hugh Griffith alongside a mechanised band, a technicolor set, and some of the most creative kills in horror cinema. Join Chris and Lauren as they talk through the film from its best moments, to how it holds up today and the inspiration you can still see in other horror movies.
