- DirectorLance MungiaStarsYuji OkumotoMarcus ChongTito OrtizOn his way to becoming an immortal demon, a gang leader orchestrates the murder of an ex-con and his girlfriend.This sequel should never have been made.
- DirectorRobert FuestStarsVincent PriceJoseph CottenVirginia NorthDoctor, scientist, organist, and biblical scholar Anton Phibes seeks revenge on the nine doctors he considers responsible for the death of his wife.One of the absolute best of the horror revenge films. In this film, Vincent Price relies mostly on his physical acting (his dialogue was all pre-recorded), and he hits almost every note perfectly.
- DirectorDouglas HickoxStarsVincent PriceDiana RiggIan HendryA Shakespearean actor takes poetic revenge on the critics who denied him recognition.In this film, one of the victims describes Price's character's acting as "a ham sandwich". In this case, even with a somewhat similar plot to his earlier "Dr. Phibes", the sandwich is absolutely delicious!
- DirectorFrank DarabontStarsTim MathesonJennifer Jason LeighWilliam AthertonA husband finds out that his wife and her lover are trying to kill him.
- DirectorTim MathesonStarsAlly SheedyStephen CaffreyTracey NeedhamInspired by what happened to Clint Goodman, the protagonist of the first film, an adulterous husband from Clint's small town plans to do the same things to his wife, Laura.Unfortunately, although nominally a sequel, pretty much a re-make of the 1990 film with a few gender switches. This revenge doesn't grip as hard as the 1990 one.
