    I saw this the first time over the weekend. Loved the art deco and the smoking hot assistant. Was she supposed to be a robot?

    I believe so…maybe? She returns in the sequel, which is a neat trick after the acid thing. However, she’s also played by a different actress, so you can theorize that Phibes hypnotizes young women to fill a slot as needed.

    When I first saw the second film I assumed she was a succubus Phibes summoned to do his bidding. I think I’d go with the android explanation now though since he did have a bunch of clockwork devices – maybe she was the ultimate version?

    I’ve read that Burton and Depp have their sights in it.
