The First Horror Movie
The Cabinet of Dr.Calligari
Director and German Expressionist Robert Wiene makes use of expressionist architecture and narrative through extreme distortion of both the physical set of the movie and it’s plot. The Cabinet of Dr.Calligari is famously recognized as the very first horror movie made in 1920 written by Hans Janowitz and Carl Mayer. The Story follows Cesar, a sleepwalker and his keeper, Dr.Calligari. Cesar is said to be all knowing and is later revealed as a murderer.

"I have gotten to know something that until recently I didn't believe existed in the world, something that seems to me to be more valuable and more shattering than the strongest sensation...."
