Very good Vincent Price classic (Spoiler thoughts).

I thought a few of the murders were a bit clunky, but the "Hail" and the nurse getting killed by locusts were both very well done!

The sets in this film look great. And the clockwork band was creepy. I also liked the Rube Goldbergian Acid bath device near climax. Looks like a possible inspiration for the Saw films.

RIP Vincent Price, the master of the macabre.

I am always left wondering how that creepy clockwork band start up on their own, before Phibes and Vulnavia return from draining Dr Longstreet of his blood.
