anyone?


Has anyone seen this? Is it anything like the original?




Let's all congratulate us with another cup of tea, a very merry unbirthday to you!

I'm trying to figure that out, too. Doesn't seem likely.

No, it's nothing like the original. The 1920 film is vastly superior. It has a German Expressionistic edge & was basically the world's first horror film/psychological thriller. It paved the way for Fritz Lang's Metropolis & the like. The sixties one is just kind of cheesy & hokey.

Really?
I really liked it, I don't think they were trying to be like the 20's version. They just wante the name.
I thought it was good.

It's not related to "The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari" at all...so there's not much point in comparing or contrasting them.

it does, however, kick a monstrous amount of ass. go into it expecting a feature length twilight zone episode and you won't be disappointed.

It has similarities to the originsl but isn't a direct remake. Both have a main character who is trying to understand what is going on. And the ending is similar though not exactly the same. Both have a surreal look at some points.
