Honestly, expect for the funny masterpieces by/with Charles Chaplin, I always find it difficult to get really interested in silent movies. Don't misinterpret my words! I do enjoy other silent movies but they never really blow me away. This movie is a good example. It is one of the famous movies representing the German expressionism and it is quite gorgeous to look at. However, even though the stor... read more

"Special effects, even in a rudimentary form, started almost as quickly as when the idea of actually making pictures move began. And soon after, follows that when an early film encounters a limited budget, then comes creativity in the form of cinematic expressionism. And in the beginning of the twenties, that creativity came nicely boxed in the form of a cabinet (or, to keep in tune more with this story, an insane asylum.

"Day 20: A great twist ending One of the first and best twist endings in cinema history. It's been ripped off many times, but so has the rest of the movie. I'd argue that much of Tim Burton's career owes a debt to it."
