The Abominable Dr Phibes (1971)
Revenge Is The Best Medicine.
Meet Doctor Phibes: a one-time concert musician who's now an all-time crazed murderer. In this clever, crypt-kicking classic, horrormeister Vincent Price plays a diabolical doc seeking the ultimate in revenge with precision creepiness and surgical wit. Watch Dr. Phibes live up to his promise: "Nine killed her, nine shall die, nine eternities in doom!"
After a team of surgeons botch his beloved wife's surgery, leaving her for dead, the emotionally distraught Dr. Phibes creatively concocts a fatal prescription for revenge. Using the Good Book as his guide, Phibes unleashed a score of old testament atrocities -- from a plague of locusts to an attack of rats -- on his enemies that climax in what may be one of "the eeriest endings on screen record" (Syracuse Herald-Journal)!

What a charming old horror. A plot hole, confused characters & unbelievable script actually brought more charm. A midnight classic.

Saw ripped this movie right off!
This movie is a bit weird, but overall pretty awesome, though Vincent Price (Dr. Phibes) and his female assistant hardly say a single word throughout the whole movie its worth a watch. Gotta see the sequel some time

Vincent Price "hams" it up in this wonderfully camp horror/comedy. The acting is amateur but the plot, sets and music are brilliant. The sequel "Dr Phibes rises again" is just as good.
