Day 26
Reflections on: The Abominable Dr. Phibes(1971)
- This movie is gorgeous. The sets and costumes are unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. Every shot feels like a dream.
- The protagonist plays a beautiful, glowing neon red plexiglass organ that rises up and down. Dr. Phibes is a glam rock icon.
- Excellent masks, cute bats, acid vats, silly hats. Welcome to my poetry slam.
- This movie asks the question: what if a mad scientist had a penchant for theatrics? The results do not disappoint.
- Don’t wait as long as I did to watch this.
