Dr. Phibes is back, but the writers' decision to make him the good guy (as much as there is a good guy in the film, anyway) takes the edge off Price's character. The murders also aren't as interesting as those in the first film, though one--involving a scorpion--I won't soon forget. There's enough here to keep you going, but it just doesn't have the pizzazz of the original. (Feb 24, 1999) | ||||||
