rst lets start with one of the finest horror films of the silent era.
"The
Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" is a very stylistic, surreal German film about a
carnival act ran by the mysterious Dr. Caligari. He exhibits a somnambulist
(played by a very young Conrad Veidt) who can accurately predict death.
Featuring complex and unique sets that could make Salvador Dali jealous, "Dr. Caligari"
is one of the eeriest films ever made.
