An appreciation by Bob Ignizio
I'm always hesitant to name a
“favorite” movie. There are so many films I enjoy a great deal
for different reasons, even when the question gets narrowed down to a
particular genre, that I simply don't have a definitive answer.
Hypothetically, though, if some disfigured madman back from the grave
had constructed a devious deathtrap and placed me in it, my only hope
for escape being to give an honest answer to this question since any
hint of a lie would set off the trap and kill me instantly, I think I
could survive by saying THE ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES.
PHIBES
is one of a small handful of movies I feel compelled to revisit at
least once a year. It's not because I think it's the best movie ever
made, or even the best horror movie ever made, but there are few
films, horror or otherwise, as much fun to watch.
