The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
This 1920 German silent horror film, considered the quintessential work of German Expressionist cinema, tells the story of an insane hypnotist who uses a sleepwalker to commit murders. The film features a dark and twisted visual style, with sharp-pointed forms, oblique and curving lines, structures and landscapes that lean and twist in unusual angles, and shadows and streaks of light painted directly onto the sets.
Critic Roger Ebert called The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari arguably "the first true horror film" and film reviewer Danny Peary called it cinema's first cult film. Considered a classic, it helped draw worldwide attention to the artistic merit of German cinema and had a major influence on American films, particularly in the genres of horror and film noir.
