DR. MABUSE VS. SCOTLAND YARD 1963 (SINISTER CINEMA)

This is an interesting entry in the long series of films about the master criminal.

The spirit of Dr. Mabuse has taken over the body of a scientist and continues his evil ways.

Mabuse, with the help of his henchmen steal a device that works like a camera, but immediately takes control of the human mind. Soon people are killing each other for no reason or killing themselves.

Scotland Yard is baffled by this and Major Bill Turn (Peter Van Eyck) refuses, for the time being to believe that Mabuse is back again and trying to take over the world.

The plot is an interesting one and sometimes the movie drags, but it's not too bad and does hold your interest. The rest of the cast includes Klaus Kinski, Sabine Bethmann, Dieter Borsche, Werner Peters, and Wolfgang Preiss.

I like the Mabuse films, so maybe I am a bit prejudiced, but I do recommend you give this one a shot and see if you like it. It's also streaming on TUBI as I write this.

The print from Sinister is very, very nice.
