This Movie Is About.
Wiki.
The Abominable Dr. Phibes is a 1971 British comedy horror film directed by Robert Fuest, written by James Whiton and William Goldstein, and starring Vincent Price and Joseph Cotten. Its Art Deco sets, dark humour, and performance by Price have made the film and its sequel Dr. Phibes Rises Again cult classics. The film also features Hugh Griffith and Terry-Thomas, with an uncredited Caroline Munro appearing as Phibes's wife.
The film follows the title character, Dr Anton Phibes, who blames the medical team that attended to his wife's surgery four years earlier, for her death and sets out to exact vengeance on each one. Phibes is inspired in his murder spree by the Ten Plagues of Egypt from the Old Testament, although some plagues were dropped, new ones added and they are ordered differently from in the Bible.
