Synopsis: Since it was first released, Caligari has captivated audiences with its fusion of horrific fantasy and expressionist theatrical techniques. including deliberately distorted backdrops, the sparing use of the simplest props, and high-contrast lightning. The film tells a tale of somnambulism and madness, and its commercial success helped to establish horror as a leading genre, with far-reaching influence on cinemtic style.
