The iconic masterpiece that shook filmgoers worldwide!
Introducing Eureka's Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray for Robert Wiene’s 1920 horror classic, Das Cabinet des Dr Caligari. Now presented in a definitive UHD edition, the film’s chilling, radically expressionist vision is set to grip viewers again. At a local carnival in a small German town, hypnotist Dr. Caligari presents the somnambulist Cesare, who can purportedly predict the future of curious fairgoers. But at night, the doctor wakes Cesare from his sleep to enact his evil bidding…
Incalculably influential, the film’s nightmarishly jagged sets, sinister atmospheric and psychological emphasis left an immediate impact in its wake (horror, film noir, and gothic cinema would all be shaped directly by it). But this diabolical tale nevertheless stands alone – now more mesmerising than ever in its debut on Ultra HD Blu-ray. Read on for the full details!
