“Love means never having to say you're ugly.”

After a team of surgeons botches his beloved wife's operation, the distraught Dr. Phibes unleashes a score of Old-Testament atrocities on his enemies.

A delightfully theatrical descent into madness. Phibes's elaborate, organ-accompanied revenge is both chilling and darkly funny, wrapped in a stylish, macabre aesthetic. It's a wonderfully campy, gothic spectacle.
