CURRENT MOVIE SYNOPSIS
THE OLD DARK HOUSE 1932
Starring BORIS KARLOFF CHARLES LAUGHTON MELVYN DOUGLAS GLORIA STUART (Titanic)
A dark, gothic, one-of-a-kind macabre comedy. Directed by James Whale, subject of the
acclaimed "Gods and Monsters," "The Old Dark House" tells the story of three weary travelers
who find shelter in a mysterious Welsh manor, soon find themselves in the un welcoming
company of the psychotic Femm family--and never will they be the same!
THE CABINET OF DR CALIGARI
1921 Silent with Musical Score
A milestone of the silent film era and one of the first "art films" to gain international acclaim,
this eerie German classic from 1919 remains the most prominent example of German
expressionism in the emerging art of the cinema. Stylistically, the look of the film's painted
sets--distorted perspectives, sharp angles, twisted architecture--was designed to reflect
(or express) the splintered psychology of its title character, a sinister figure who uses
a lanky somnambulist (Conrad Veidt) as a circus attraction. But when Caligari and his
sleepwalker are suspected of murder, their novelty act is surrounded by more supernatural
implications. With its mad-doctor scenario, striking visuals, and a haunting, zombie-like
character at its center, Caligari was one of the first horror films to reach an international
audience, sending shock waves through artistic circles and serving as a strong influence
on the classic horror films of the 1920s, '30s, and beyond.
