Ah, Dr. Caligari. A perfect example of the German Expressionist movement. Imagine if you would, a genre where every movie is like a Tim Burton film. I'm pretty sure movies like Caligari were inspiration for him. Personally I love dark expressionistic films like Caligari.
Ugh ...not the CABIENT OF DR.CALIGARI (1919)....
this....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aFBn8hPugc In my opinion...a headache inducing piece of s**t.
What in the hell is this s**t?
You chose the right word,my freind.
s**t!
Beyond Bad.
Just plain awful.
I think the film makers were trying to be "hip" and artsy.
Didnt work.
I'm going to have to hunt down and kill whoever made this tripe. Did the person who made this crap think they were paying homage to the original film by ripping-off the Caligari name? Well it sure has hell didn't work. To compare what I saw in that video to the German expressionist art I saw in
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is like comparing a pile of rotten s**t with the world's most expensive diamond. Quite frankly, I find this display offensive.
I wrote a fairly substantial article on this film:

definitely a fan of the original.
