The Cabinet of Caligari (1962) • Discape

It shocks the unshockables!

The Cabinet of Caligari boasts some interesting visual flourishes—especially during its bravura finale, the only sequence where the film attempts to recreate the expressionist production design of Weine’s silent classic [The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari].

Mark Clark and Bryan Senn, Sixties Shockers: A Critical Filmography of Horror Cinema, 1960-1969 (McFarland, 2011)
Bloch’s first screenplay, after providing the source material for Psycho (1960), comes complete with distorted sets, much higher lunacy, and a striking performance from O’Herlihy. The result is perversely fascinating.
