I was not scared by the film, although it is the first thriller in the world. In the past, films lacked voice so that directors could only express information by image and actors’ performance. In Caligari, it seemed that people were walking in a expressionism paint. In fact, it was a picture in the mind of a paranoid person. Amazing.
This is one science fiction movie with a theme, not just eye candy. No matter how high humanity climbs on the evolutionary scale, no matter how advanced our technology becomes, we must never forget the primal instincts of our darker nature. (adaml-2, imdb.com)
