Not only is the good Doctor implausibly once again among the living, but he’s brought back his wife’s corpse, his silent assistant and the general gist from the first one along with him. Vincent Price seems to be enjoying himself as he blithely and bizarrely slaughters all those who stand between him and his wife’s resurrection. In other words, second verse same as the first. The only material difference this time around is that somehow, ever so subtly, the humorous kitsch of the original has been replaced by meandering silliness. This isn’t a bad movie. It’s just not as entertaining as chapter one. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
