I watched The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari a few years ago on public television. I was suprised at how good it was. The story has held up quite well over the years. It was more complex than I had expected and the German surrealistic set designs actually added to the atmoshpere of the plot.

n.1853, the pic comes from 'Hunger' (2008) which is not a horror movie and not from 'Hunger' (2009).
