Dr. Caligari Ratings & Reviews
- basurablanca742 mei 2026As a young deviant I saw the image on a VHS box in Sweets Records & Tapes (Who, like many business in the 80's, added video rental to boost business) and knew that I had to watch it. Ostensibly a sequel to the silent film classic containing the same name, the grand daughter of that titular character conducts hormone and mind swapping experiments leading to "sexual deviance" and cannibalism. Think Fellini meets Waters meets 80's shot on video porn and you are getting the rough idea of what you are walking into (and you still won't be ready when you get there). Surreal, absurd, queer, and brilliant. This film was massively formative on my young mind and a huge part of why I am the queerdo that I am. It's not for everyone, but damnit, I love this film.
- Burnharm20 april 2025The film is notable for its bold visual style, featuring asymmetrical sets and exaggerated performances that echo silent film aesthetics. Dr. Caligari is not for everyone, but for those interested in experimental cinema that challenges conventions, it offers a unique viewing experience.
