We previously shared and reviewed this movie two Halloweens ago but so what? It’s a horror classic and watching it is a bit of a Halloween tradition and here at the Shattered Lens, we are all about tradition! Add to that, this is one of the most influential films of all time. First released in 1922, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari both introduced the world to German expressionism and it was one of the first films to feature a twist ending.
So, the next time you’re thinking about how much you love M. Night Shyamalan, be sure to say a word of thanks to Robert Wiene for directing The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari!
