A Film that is Art


One of my favorite horror films is The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. The film is silent, so much of the emotion of the movie is carried forth by set designs and lighting. The movie creates an emotion that is both surreal, claustrophobic and tense. The angles of the set make perspective and place uncertain. All in all it is a very ambitious movie that works around its limitations and evokes a strong sense of surreal horror.
