As far as classic horror movies go The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (Das Kabinett des Doktor Caligari) is the oldest -possibly most important too- of the lot. It was, after all, shot back in 1920 and could easily be the first horror movie ever created, though I really can't be sure of such things. Mind you, most the internet does believe this to be the case, so I guess further research isn't what matters right now.
What actually matters, you see, is that you dear lovers of horror, German expressionism and wild, romantic film-making absolutely watch this masterpiece. The film is now happily a public domain work of art and can be freely and very legally downloaded from the Internet Archive.
Oh yes. Absolutely love it! Both remakes suck :)
ReplyDeleteThankfully I haven't seen any of them. Didn't know you're such a horror buff Anatoly...
ReplyDeleteIt's not just horror, I LOVE movies in general. But then again, a significant part of my collection is horror, so I love the genre too.
ReplyDeleteYou modern homo universalis, you.
