Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Dull, witless rehash of The Abominable Dr Phibes, with Price murderously buckling down to the task of securing the ancient Egyptian elixir which will resurrect his wife. The same wasted opportunities with art deco sets, a scattering of pointless guest appearances, and only one death scene with balls (murder by scorpion). Pity it wasn't given to a director who could exploit the real possibilities.
