The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is one of the first horror movies ever filmed. It centers around an evil hypnotist and a somnambulist. Yea, I had to look it up too. I've never seen that word used so much, ever. The story is decent but its just hard to get scared when there is no sound.
What really shined through in this film was the set design. It looked like something out of a Tim Burton movie. There were absolutely no right angles in this movie, everything was just beautifully off-kilter. The sets are probably why I kept watching to be honest. That and figuring out what the hell a somnambulist is.
