Vincent Price returns as Dr. Anton Phibes, who is awakened from his three-year slumber by a carefully planned alignment of the stars that brings him back to life, only to be angered that his house was demolished, and the sacred scrolls of life he needs to resurrect his dead wife were stolen. With his assistant Vulnavia, Phibes tracks the thieves to Egypt, where he exacts a terrible revenge against them before retrieving the scrolls, though his arch rival(played by Robert Quarry) does battle with him for their possession.
More-of-the-same sequel is made in the same grisly and violent spirit of the first, which sometimes is most uncomfortable viewing. Phibes is a true "antihero" if there ever was one, though if you liked the first, you'll no doubt like this as well.
