Dr. Mabuse: Second part : Inferno, A game for people of our time

Marginally more interesting than the first part. Especially the Count confronting his doppelgangers and the end where the machinery comes alive, which is highly reminiscent of Metropolis.

The special feature documentary is enlightening, though, as it shows how Dr. Mabuse carries the tradition of German silent movies, and shows the similarities with Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Nosferatu. Which makes me want to get those soonest possible.

The brief scenes of The Last Will of Dr. Mabuse is also creepy, with the ghost with the exposed brain and buggy eyes. When will they bring it in here?
