The Abominable Dr. Phibes Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
A former art director, Fuest gives the film a preposterously lush, Ken Russell-ish look. Highly enjoyable.
TV Guide
A delightfully goofy horror film.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
A sardonic wink, back at The Phantom of the Opera and ahead toward Phantom of the Paradise, with The Avengers as structure and plenty of Franju in the mix.
The Dissolve
Keith Phipps
Fuest plays up the 1930s-by-way-of-the-1970s set design, but any atmosphere gets lost in scene after scene that's lighted like a TV show.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
Arguably the single greatest AIP release made without Roger Corman on hand as either producer or director... One of Price's signature roles.
Variety
Variety Staff
Anachronistic period horror musical camp fantasy is a fair description, loaded with comedic gore of the type that packs theatres and drives child psychologists up the walls.
Cinefantastique
Steve Biodrowski
"The perfect combination of horror and humor."
ESplatter
Lucius Gore
Director Fuest brings an enormous sense of art-deco style and grand guingol humor to the affair ...

Mark Bourne
If Se7en and Hannibal are grand opera, The Abominable Dr. Phibes is Gilbert & Sullivan.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The insane storyline is just what you would expect from a deliriously appealing Vincent Price horror flick.

Googalee moogalee Vincent Price.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Matt Bailey
Vincent Price was an actor who never gave anything than his best possible performance at any given time.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Funny and goofy period horror flick, featuring a strong turn from Vincent Price
Kansas City Kansan
Steve Crum
Typical Price bread-n-butter horror flick, spawned sequel.
Your Movies (cleveland.com)
Gerry Shamray
Deliciously dark and hammy horror flick.
F5 (Wichita, KS)
Jake Euker
Grisly and amusing, but not quite amusing enough.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Bob Bloom
A wonderful horror outing for Vincent Price; a genre film with wit and style as well as goosebumps.
Cleveland Press
Tony Mastroianni
Somebody finally did it -- made a funny, campy horror picture that works.
