Cabinet of Dr Caligari, The (U)

Horror

Dr. Caligari's somnambulist, Cesare, and his deadly predictions.


The critical consensus

Robert Wiene’s 1920 expressionist masterpiece.

*****Jamie Graham, Total Film, 25/08/2014

This freshly 4K-ed masterpiece of German Expressionism deserves to be seen on the big screen. Track it down and be rewarded with possibly cinema's first ever twist ending.

*****Anna Smith, Empire Online, 25/08/2014

Warped in all senses, fascinating and bizarre: this is the 1920 silent movie by Robert Wiene – now re-released in cinemas – that lay down a template for today's scary movies, noirs and psychological thrillers.

*****Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 28/08/2014

Welcome to German expressionist style madness.

Sophie Monks Kaufman, Little White Lies, 28/08/2014

Every frame of Robert Wiene's 1920 German silent film has an influence far beyond the horror genre.
