The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

This week we pitch modern remakes for the O.G. horror flick: The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. A classic of the Weimar Germany era of expressionist films, Dr. Caligari left an indelible mark on the horror genre with its haunting score, trippy hand-painted lettering and sets, and unique film tinting. I can say with confidence I've never seen a movie like it. You can watch it for free here. Liam and Gregg propose remakes that are essentially artistic love letters to a classic, while Scott zags in the other direction creating a techno horror/thriller that pays homage to the original. If you are interested in checking out the short films that inspired Liam's remake, here is a list of links: The Periwig Maker – Stop motion short from 1999, based on Daniel Defoe's novel A Journal of the Plague Year (1722), narrated by Kenneth Branagh. https://vimeo.com/94166448 Flying Sailor – Canadian short by Wendy Tilby and Amanda Forbis https://www.nfb.ca/film/flying-sailor-the/ Behind Closed Doors https://youtu.be/H9InaUJm0A8?si=YYRPkdorPUKxiCNp Tall Grass Love Death and Robots - Season 2 Episode 5 Mad God – Directed by Phill Tippet Available on AppleTV+
