THE MOST AMAZING STORY EVER FILMED
Cesare, a somnambulist controlled by the demented Dr. Caligari, makes deadly predictions that come
to pass. In fact, Caligari is hypnotizing Cesare to commit murders around the country. Can our hero, Francis, stop the murders before it is too late? Or worse yet, before he descends into madness?
This is perhaps THE defining work of German Expressionist cinema with its sharp angles and twisted backgrounds and exaggerated set design. The style lends itself to the psychological horror of the film. It's an intentionally distorted reality to keep the viewer consistently on edge and cause anxiety and stress. The entire film has a nightmarish quality and plays into the climax, which may possibly one of the first twist endings in cinema. Even the film's intertitles have a creepy, unsettling style, far from the standard font used at the time. The film draws attentions to its words. Film scholars have noted that Cesare, manipulated into committing crimes while sleeping, is an allegory to the horrors of Germany at the time, a nation devastated by World War I.
Robert Wiene's expressionist style has a clear influence on modern filmmakers, especially Tim Burton. Look to Edward Scissorhands, Batman and Beetlejuice for the clear homages to this film. From film noir to modern horror, this film's influence is felt everywhere. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is the pinnacle of paranoid horror films.You fools, this man is plotting our doom! We die at dawn! He is Caligari!
