Movie review - "The Cabinet of Dr Caligari" (1919) ***

Horror classic which was highly influential in the development of expressionism - many of Universal's classic horror films of the 1930s were inspired by it. This helped popularise the idea that you didn't have to be "real" when making a film - indeed, expressionism accessed an entirely new range of stories to tell. Far out sets, enjoyable performances. It's not a bad story either, but I didn't like the "it was all a dream" ending.
