Product Description Dr. Mabuse...hypnotist...genius...criminal mastermind...fiend.Inspired by the character made famous by director Fritz Lang, Doctor Mabuse returns in two new features -- Doctor Mabuse and Doctor Mabuse: Etiopomar, starring Jerry Lacy as Mabuse and written and directed by rising filmmaker Ansel Faraj. In the psychological thriller Doctor Mabuse, the criminal mastermind plots a new reign of terror, with only Inspector Lohmann standing in the way. Infiltrating the demon's inner circle, Lohmann learns that the cost for defying Mabuse is a fate far worse than death. The steampunk shocker Doctor Mabuse: Etiopomar uses six interwoven tales to tell the story of the villain's quest to establish a kingdom for his followers. To create what he calls his 'Etiopomar,' Mabuse enlists an army of automatons created by a mad scientist...who will be very familiar to fans of classic German cinema. Jerry Lacy played multiple roles on the cult gothic soap opera Dark Shadows (1966-1971). He also essayed an uncanny impersonation of Humphrey Bogart in Woody Allen's Play It Again, Sam (1972). Starring alongside Lacy are his fellow Dark Shadows alumni Kathryn Leigh Scott and Lara Parker as witches Madame Von Harbou and Madame Carrozza, and Christopher Pennock as the villainous Professor Konratz. Character actor Linden Chiles (The Twilight Zone, James at 15) is resourceful Inspector Von Wenk, Nathan Wilson is Mabuse's nemesis Inspector Lohmann, Bahia Garrigan is femme fatale Christina Novello, Dane Corrigan is the insane Rotwang, and Kate Avery is the beautiful, but deadly, Maria. Blending film noir, science fiction, comic book fantasy, and German Expressionism, these Doctor Mabuse films are unlike anything you've ever seen. INCLUDES 'DIARIES OF DR. MABUSE' MAKING-OF DOCUMENTARY Review "Ansel Faraj has created a haunting netherworld reminiscent of the glory days of German Expressionism..." --David Elijah Nahmod, FANGORIA"...dark and haunting handmade film... an intelligent, claustrophobic detective story of evil...

Weird, but fun.
The cast alone ensures interest to original Dark Shadows series fans. Very surreal film. Great for those interested in modern underground cinema.

Awesome! Like the old Dark Shadows
This is the two films put out in 2013 & 2014. Each is around 122 minutes. It is much like the old Dark Shadows T.V. series with moody music, cheesy props, and marvelous over acting. It features Jerry Lacy, Kathryn Leigh Scott, Lara Parker, and Christopher Pennock (only in Etipomar).Special features include trailers, a 45 minute making of featurette of both films that was made in 2015. It appears to include additions to the one on the first Dr. Mabuse DVD. It does not include the deleted scenes.The actors are mostly in front of green screens as these movies are on a shoe string budget and made by a brilliant 20 year old who appreciates the shows of yesteryear. The actors are brilliant and convey the deep feeling and intense drama that you love from the old Dark Shadows. I hope they make a few more, and get a bigger budget.

Not what I thought it would be, but not that bad
Not as good as I expected it to be, but not as bad either. A bit on the computer generate side, and cheap looking, but then I wasn't looking to see high art or drama. Over all though, I liked the acting, and give them an A for effort.

Mabuse abuse
2 & 1/2. This has little to do with the Dr.Mabuse novel, or the three Fritz Lang movies. Colorful nonsense that fails to produce a satisfactory ending. A bit like watching "Sin City", if Sin City had been done in color, and without a plot, and without a budget.
