The Vengeance of Doctor Mabuse Blu-ray Arrives August 19 from Kino Lorber

The Vengeance of Doctor Mabuse (1972), directed by Jess Franco, releases on Blu-ray from Kino Lorber on August 19. The film stars Fred Williams, Jack Taylor, Ewa Strömberg, Moisés Augusto Rocha, Eva Garden, and Jess Franco himself.

This unauthorized entry in the Dr. Mabuse series avoids references to Norbert Jacques’s original clairvoyant criminal. Instead, Franco revisits themes from his earlier sci-fi thrillers, blending a criminal mastermind’s plot involving poison gas and a whip-wielding assassin with a small-town inspector’s interference.

Disfigured henchmen, striptease dancers and a feverish jazz score all come together in absolute classic Franco style.

Kino Lorber’s release makes this complex melding of genre elements accessible to collectors and fans of cult cinema.
