Das Kabinett des Doktor Caligari aka The cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919) (7/10)

Extra credit needs to be given to the movie since it is almost 100 years old. The suspense is well maintained about a series of murders unleashed through a fair. The atmosphere is well maintained. One of course has to read the words rather than hear them. Especially the graphic is very good, the lines inside the asymlum being an excellent example. however, in the end, it seems to live for the punchline. I wish less movies put so much of their worth in the last minute or two.
