the cabnet of dr. caligari

[JustSomeGuyOk]

is this with that Mary Queen of Scots thing?

[jaczajanek]

It's more of a shutter island-twist to me...

[Svperstarr]

They ripped off Tim Burton to make this. He looks like Edward Scissorhands

[urbanscrawl444]

@Svperstarr I hope your actually joking :/

[Dontmakemecomeover5]

@Svperstarr Yes if it wasn't for Robert Wienes building a time machine and going 70 years in the future to rip off edward scissorhands...God the world might be a better place.

[Oudler]

Karl Freund did not do the cinematography for this one. I believe it was Willy Hameister 

[kulturbulenz]

Go to the kulturbulenz channel and check out the trailers for "Somnonaut", an expressionist theatre-piece inspired by the quirky visuals of Caligari, quite extra-ordinary too!

[Mutantelamadrid]

great ending!

[Skibsie]

by far the most boring film i have ever seen, no matter how influential.

[geinman1287]

This was one of the most influential films of all time. It's style was copied by many of the classic horror films of the thirties and forties, particularly the Universal Frankenstein series.

[SoullessOpeth]

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919)

Runtime: 1 hr 31 mins

Genre: Horror/Suspense

1 HOUR 31 MINUTES, Not 50

[andresdavid]

there are many different editions of this movie re. There's the original vision of the director. The one changed by the producer with the asylum scene. There different scores, different letter card versions. There is no definitive version of this movie.

[jumobo]

Where can I get the soundtrack ? or a higher quality audio/video

[LisaBreeBranch]

pretty boring but the part when cezsar grabs that woman out of her bed was pretty good

[diegaz]

somos y listos :)

[mcsammer65]

did you just compare the gem of the German expressionist movement to Fight Club?

[TheImpressed]

This is Youtube. Are you surprised?

[1amsm1th]

More importantly does he honostly think that this film invented twist endings?

[JellyKimSugarBoom14]

@mcsammer65 Have you seen fight club?!

[mcsammer65]

@JellyKimSugarBoom14

Yes i have, but if i said no how would that change the validity of my argument?

[JellyKimSugarBoom14]

@mcsammer65 dw I just think fight club is awesome and u can draw a parallel with the twist ending, and it all coming together like it does with the shock sudden change in everyones relationships

[HirachieOfSociety]

actualy the first horror film a french film made in 1896 la manoir du diables i watched in in film studie back in grade 11

[jonnybravo2525]

how did you get a video this long on youtube?

[lauzziemarie]

Can't believe I found this! Watched this in theatre history and never got to finish it. :D

[ADIESTRADORDEMORSAS]

amo el impresionismo aleman.............

[alas47]

que bien, solo que esto es EXPRESIONISMO

[ADIESTRADORDEMORSAS]

mira ,ohh¡¡expresionismo,si ,eres muy lista,si ,como se nota que nunca te equivocas,voy a pensar que todos los mexicanitos son unos presuntuosos............

[cowsquid]

i feel like Im in film school again: german expressionism

[Steeviespielberg]

Everything about this film is simply perfect.

[connorreis]

the 1st REAL (not short) horror film was "The Student of Prague" 1913. made in Germany. If u don't believe me look it up this movie is 85 minutes long (not short).

[drmoonrat]

Le Manoir du diable "The House of the Devil "(1896) is credited as the first horror movie. And the Edison Company made the first film version of Frankenstien in 1910. And there were a few full length horror films before this one. But this one is deffinatly one of my favorites.

[gzombie38]

Conrad Veidt!!

[williamblake]

Wasn't Der Golem in 1915, 5 years before this was made?

[OverheadSwell]

there was, but not the most popular one with Wegener...

[connorreis]

yeah but it wasn't the 1st REAL horror movie ever made

[MasterBlade4]

amazing, the first horror movie.

[diehounderdoggen]

Yes! I loves me my German Expressionist films!

[DjSublimeslacker]

Great Film but this isn't the first horror film ever made. The first horror film ever made was

Le Manoir du diable Translated to Eng : The House of the Devil

it was filmed in 1896 by Georges Méliès

[ofirka991]

The first horror movie was the first movie ever, with the train. the people that saw it thought the train would hit them.

[force9]

that was a documentary uve only said that because some ppl later on have perceived it to be a horror movie only because it shocked and scared the audience at the time

[2kool4skewl77]

omg, THANKYOU!!!

[BinaryReaper]

I needed this for an essay thanks a million!

[EriiiLita]

lol crazy me too!

[thepunk308]

yeeah

[trbstrangerous]

this movie was made in the 1920s it's stated in wikipedia it's part of the expressionist movement

[schizoidboy]

I think the first horror film was a version of Frankenstein by Thomas Edison which many thought was lost until recently.

[emoviebuff87]

yeah and it stared an actor named charles olgel who played the monster. that version was released in 1910.

[XxsoulsuckerxX]

what about nasfaratu, what year was that?

[schizoidboy]

I think it was made right after the World War One around the early 1920s.

[col9007]

1922.

[zazz011]

Nosferatu,the symphony of horror by Murnau was made in 1922

[XxsoulsuckerxX]

cool thanks, the first time i saw that movie when i was little, it scared the shit out of me. i had nightmares about him for weeks. powerful stuff

[zazz011]

it is quite scary...but it's great! :-)

[XxsoulsuckerxX]

ya, its an awesome movie that doesn't lose any of its essense with age. timeless!!!

[resaciox]

cesare looks somewhat like edward scissorhands...no wonder since tim burton stated he bases his movies in german expressionism

[AnastasisXD]

even if its a great and amusing film, its not the FIRST horror one. the first horror movies ever is The Devil's Castle by George Melees, but it has other names too that i dont remember

[feelthelove17]

Golem was not first. This is the first of its kind. The genre is called "german expressionism"

[MaskOfRed]

It's not the first. Just the first of quality. Not sure it's horror but I'm sure it did have that effect on early audiences. It is well creepy.

[sdthird10]

how can it be 51 minutes!

[VkBarbieGirl]

It's not horror, is called "expresionismo aleman" (sorry i don't know the english name). Horror movies' are inspired in this movement :)

[Oudler]

@VkBarbieGirl "expresionismo aleman"= "German Expressionism"

[carnagex64]

One of the fist horror movies but not the first ,there was a few before it like The Golem (1915).

[evilstar85]

Le manoir du diable, 1896

[carnagex64]

Yeah I know the next one after the manoir du diable was La caverne maudite 1898 :)

[AnastasisXD]

by George Melles i think, in France ;)

[carnagex64]

Yup :)

[teaandjamm]

love it

[Maodifi]

fave movie ever.

[Zombiieduck]

Tim Burton should do a remake of this movie

[OwenMackenzie]

Yea,you'Re right

[lebrel12]

And Jonnhy Deep should be in that film

[OwenMackenzie]

Definitely;)

[IchBinEinFreiburger]

Tim Burton has come out and said that this was the film that inspired him to do the stuff he does... Citation unknown.

[papppnori]

i think its a very good idea::)...that movie will be fantastic

[Maodifi]

hell no. keep it classic.

[EtherJunky]

yer man i agree wiv that, wats wiv all the fuckin remakes nowadays anyway? usually they just ruin the original

[formertofu]

prick directors think they can come up with a better vision than the people who made if first.

[grazimanson]

amo amo amo amo

perfeito esse filme *-*

[Martyra87]

It was made in 1919... I'm studying "Filmarts" at university and in terms of the technic of the camera, editing and the decor it's fantastic!!! Unfortunately this is not the original soundtrack...well in fact, it didn't have a soundtrack at all for many years.... Then maaany years later they put music to it....it's a very strange soundtrack.... Free-Jazz-like...really spacey... =D

[Loki54]

How would you say the sound track compared with other horror films?

[emilyv2590]

dr caligari was one of the set of for german expressionism, NOT the first horror movie. that made me smile abit =]

[Revenge1986]

this is perhaps the First horror movie, the rest before this was shorts or silent films, but this film was pretty long at the time.

[AnkosArmy5]

I adore this movie, but goddamn is the uploader's description stupid.

[katwomanjulie]

I know, it gives away the entire ending of the movie. LAME

I already saw it in my film class but still. Why give it away?

[RADAqueen]

hey I was just wondering weather anyone had any thoughts on the narrative, mise-en-scene, cinematography and editing?

Just part of a study im doing, all thoughts welcome.

[TimesHaveChanneled]

wonderful movie but the quality is just crap.

[halospartan92]

It was made in the early 1900's, what do you expect Sherlock?

[TeamOverdrunk16]

This movie and Nosferatu are the best movies ever

[messiahpal]

The mise en scene in this movie is wild!

[Scott1821]

NOt the first horror movie ever mad.

[ThanatouTheos]

is it the whole movie?? how could you upload 51 minutes? is not 10.00 minutes the limit?

[silvar68]

The first time I watched this movie, I had nightmares with the hypnotized man! He looks so frightening. I like the character Caligary...jaja! One picture like this, that makes you think, but with no special effects is CRITTERS...but you got more scared of the feelings of the beautiful girl than the deformities of the circus members.

[silvar68]

Have you seen the set decoration? Its purely expressionist...

[Stavekoff]

Seeing as how it's the first movie of the expressionist movement, I'd think so.

[silvar68]

I didnt knew it was the first one...thanks for sharing, that´s how a person gets to know more of one subject, thanks to people like you.

[Stavekoff]

That's why you need jackasses like me around.

[filmfanatic99]

View my channel if you want to see Erich von Stronheim's Greed - uncut (1924). I also plan to upload Abel Gance's Napoleon and Orson Welles' The Magnificent Amebrsons. Subscribe for updates.

[galerandyaddict]

daaaaamn.. why didnt you upload napoleon already... i need it for an exam tomorrow at my uni... :D

[filmfanatic99]

What do you need to know about?

[galerandyaddict]

well i think there could be several kind of questions that tell the teacher if i've seen the movie or not but there was one exact question mentiond that goes like "what kind of tools are used to establish the personality of napoleon?" anyways, i failed today... but i still have the endterm exam to make up for it.

[filmfanatic99]

Sorry for being late. Good luck in future.

[jnr206]

does anyone know the actul first movie ever made?

[pete7138]

Wasn't it "The Great Train Robbery" from 1903?

[Remeer]

Le Manoir Du Diable (The devils castle) 1896

[astroman123]

I think it's a test shot of people comes out a factory in france in 1895

[Bambaindust]

Roundhay garden 1888 few photograms

[argonaut1112]

i don't know if it was the first, but Thomas Edison produced the first film with trained and directed actors called "the execution of mary stuart." it's on youtube, you can look it up.

[silvar68]

Edison was a real thief of inventions...there were the Lumiére brother who really invented the cinema. As well as with Tezsla, he stole the invention and claimed to be the author of it. A very intelligent man, but in a bad way.

[filmfanatic99]

I thought it was a train docking at a station. Apparently people in the original audience fainted.

[djphenafoil]

astroman123 is right its of workers leaving a factory in France shot by the Lumière brothers its called Sortie des Usines Lumière à Lyon (Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory)

[JacobTEmery]

Partie de cartes in 1985 by the lumiere brothers

[JacobTEmery]

i mean 1895

[jnr206]

thanks=p

[sexy36steveo36]

this film is a german expression

the golem was the first ful legnth horror film

but that was shit

[emptyspace00]

There is a colored version with better picture quality on google video.

[starlightcheese]

Just for reference for those who didn't know, as I didn't:

Mountebank - person who sells quack medicines in a traveling show.

Somnambulist - a person that sleepwalks.

[ZephyurWinds]

awesome twist..turned out everyone was insane but Caligari

[DTAMR]

that was only because it had to be cut and remade. The government at the time didn't want a person in power abusing it.

[cripook]

No, that's not true because that is an expressionnist movie, and one of the main carataristic of those films is the dictator figure (a caracter manipulating all the others)

[industrialfan71]

The film that set the standard for all films - the greatest example of German Expressionism - EVER!!!

[gorboy]

How the HELL did you get this? Fucking awesome, man!

[woofy1988]

This isn't the first horror movie ever made.

'Le Manoir Du Diable' was. Although it only went for two minutes

[D3ATHPR3TZ3L]

i think its the first full length one

[klrocker91]

watched this film in my Foreign film class it's like the only classic film i've ever watched where i didn't fall asleep

[lucypiratebooty]

this is actually one of the first films based on surrealism

[Camilaisemo]

its actually german expressionism

[bertieisawesome]

i freaking love this movie so much thanks for the upload

[jimmyfellatio]

dr. caligari is a cunt

[fallingidols1]

Technically this isn't the first horror movie....Full length yes...Le Manoir du Diable (1896) was. It's a vampire movie and only 2 minutes long but it's technically the first horror movie. Even so, Le Manoir du Diable still may not be the very first, as it's been said there have been even earlier horror films.

[Drittkladden]

This is like finding the first sketch of the ancient bible.

Thank you so much for uploading this! =D

[goCUTyourSELFyouEMO]

OMG, I LOVE THIS MOVIE.... the remake was so bad.

[MateushPrv]

Thanks for uploading here this immortal classic!

[FriedrichvonSchiller]

*and a very great part of the horror movie genre

[FriedrichvonSchiller]

this is just a great movie

a great part of german movie-history

[Scream1008]

Isn't the music video for the RHCP song "Otherside" inspired by the last 20 minutes of this film?

[bertieisawesome]

its Rob Zombies Living Dead Girl video parts of it is anyways

[IkeSpike321]

The music to this was added on later for they use live music to show movies back then. But still its great to have a horror movie so old survive this long.

[filmlad53]

Oh my god!!! Has anyone read the information about this film, i sincearly hope it was sarcastic!

x

[VigiliaFilmes]

Magic.

[mementoauderesemper]

Voi siete tutti amici di guidobaldo maria riccardelli direttore di fantozzi.

Vi consiglio l'uomo di aran....

[edam222]

I need to see this at cineforum with an albumn matched up to it.

[flicknewb]

thanks for posting this... makes the references of this book i'm reading make tons more sense.

you think that the origional film makers thought that their movie would be at the tips of everyones fingers 100 years after they made it?

[BalistikTom]

wut book are u reading?

[flicknewb]

Film Art- by Bordwell and Thompson... it's for a class

[stuckinaboxhere]

I love the crazy, dreamlke style

[nevetstdlob]

I'm watching this for film class. Anyone know if this is the original score? I assume this is the original film.

[littlebeartoe]

The original was played with live orchestras playing modern stuff. The music on this video is not a great match for that.

[punkg0]

GREAT film! :)

i know people must ask this all the time but... how can i upload a video longer than 10 min? 51 min?! WOW amazing!

[Rozmbar]

And at first the story wasn´t any resulution that the main character is insane-contrary the writers tried to say, we trust to insane people, who controll us, but it was censored. The first purpose was really social and intelectual and horror elements in the movie.. Look at some pictures of expressionists of those times, there is also fear and so on, but the word horror they didn´t know.

[Rozmbar]

I made my seminary work about German expresionistic movie(expresionistic painters made the scenes..) and I suppose to learn about it-it´s interesting.But to say it is a horror is not exact-it inspired later horrors.And you´re right with your idea of the woman.Artists in those times really thought that way and art was very intellectual(even more I appreciate), so If you think about the film, you do it well..

[TeamOverdrunk16]

This video is so metal...way before Ozzy Osbournes dad was even thought of.

[fredalbano]

adoro este filme

[Dernsten]

In my opinion, the horror film makers of these days should all watch this and learn.

[DerTrommler3D]

The first Horror/Monster Movie ever mad in America was "Conquest of the Pole" in 1912.

[derek1240]

dis town is fuked dog

[bcd659877]

This is the greatest silent movie i've seen

[1bsnfwrestling]

This isnt the first horror movie..

[beentakenaway]

Then what is the first horror movie?

[1bsnfwrestling]

Im sure this is it, The Haunted Castle (1896), there are other early ones, Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde (1908), Frankenstein (1910), The Avenging Conscience (1914) & Alraune (1918). Hope that answered your question, im sure ive missed out one or two, those are the ones that i can think of.

[mike996969]

there were also two earlier short films, The execution of Mary Stewart (1895, which is the first film to use special fx, and Le Manoir du Diable (1896). I don't know if you want to count these because they are only like a minute long. Oh, I also think The Haunted Castle was made in 1897.

[1bsnfwrestling]

You are right, i was wrong.

[Rozmbar]

I think this debate has no sence. This is not first horror film because this is not horror film at all. It´s expresionism and its the most exact classification. The idea of the film is not to make the viewer frightened, but to express iracional world of those times.. But Im sorry if Im trying to show me as a big intelligent with my poor English..:)

[MrsFloweryapron]

I would say it was meant to horrify to a certain extent- not eveyone who saw it was a member of the middle class intelligensia, and took it at face value as a great chiller. I think it was about the masses being hypnotised into war, with the woman representing the innocents, something like that- Rozmbar is right though I think- in saying it reflected the irrational aspect of the times.

[mikeyrogers]

Mary Stewart? I think you mean Mary, Queen of Scots.

[jesusranch34]

isnt it 71 minutes?

[fisheeonadishy]

absolutely love this film. platform for all the horror movies that exist today

[sedira]

good movie

[marcolopolis]

I watched the Kino dvd music score, it sucked compared to this one, it was too modern. I was actually very disappointed, but the quality was very good.

[LoticaStudios]

Absolute, classic!

[Kewelll]

forse il più grande capolavoro della storia del cinema...immortale! guardandolo ci si rende conto come moltissimi film attuali attingano in continuazione a questa pellicola...

[mrsveidt]

this is a true horror film. i wish

we had more films like it today.

[squonglee]

i love this film and i dont just quite get it how ever many times i watch it! contemporary directors have nothing on Weine and Expressionism it's amazing with many twists you dont notice the lack of dialougue when you get into it. It's amazing in my popinion and is scary to a modern day audience if you are int he right frame of mind to watch it!

[marcolopolis]

why don't you have the complete version?

[zetaXaron]

very well! It was first expresionistic film

[torabi3005]

I've seen the complete version...It was like 70 minutes...but over all very interesting film!
